とにかく、法華経に身をまかせて信じていきなさい。あなた一人だけが信ずるだけでなく、縁した人々に信心をすすめて、過去の父母等(=今世の人生で巡り合う無数の縁ある人々)を救っていきなさい。


English Gosho
 Be that as it may, commit yourself to the Lotus Sutra and have faith in its teachings. You must not only believe in them yourself but also encourage others to do the same, so that you may save those who were your parents in all your past existences.

[ It is the same as saving innumerable people coming across you in the life of this world. ]
