諸天善神は、法華経の行者が出来したならば、磁石が鉄を吸うように、月の影がそのまま水に映るように、ただちに来って、かたく法華経の行者を守護し、行者に代わって難を受けもって、仏前の誓いを果たすべきである。

English Gosho
 If a votary of the Lotus Sutra should appear, then, like iron drawn to a magnet or the reflection of the moon appearing in the water,

they will instantly come forth to take on his sufferings for him and thereby fulfill the vow that they made in the presence of the Buddha.
