" On Player "

 
 It makes no difference if the practitioner [ of the Lotus Sutra] himself is lacking in worth, defective in wisdom, impure in his person, and lacking in virtue derived from observing the precepts. So long as he chants Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, they will invariably protect [ for Goodness of the Gods] him.
