"For you to inquire about the Lotus Sutra and ask its meaning is a rare source of good fortune. In this age of the Latter Day of the Law, those who ask about the meaning of even one phrase or verse of the Lotus Sutra are far fewer than those who can hurl Mount Sumeru to another land like a stone, or those who can kick the major world system away like a ball. ..."

"The Lotus Sutra passage states: 'This cluster of unsurpassed jewels / has come to us unsought' (LSOC4, 124). 'Unsought' reflects the fact that the persons of the two vehicles-the voice-hearers and cause-awakened ones—had given up on attaining Buddhahood and no longer even sought to do so.
