" The Three Kinds of Treasure "

 
The purpose of the appearance in this world of Shakyamuni Buddha, the lord of teachings, lies in his behavior as a human being.
Respectfully.
The wise may be called human, but the thoughtless are no more than animals.

Interpretation (liberal translation)
 
 The mission that Buddha was born and had preached a Lotus Sutra and was to preach the behavior as the person.
 The wise man learning to behave oneself sincerely is called "human", and the fool who doesn't know behavior is called "animals".
