"It is due to the authority and supernatural power of Bodhisattva Universal
Worthy that this Lotus Sutra is propagated throughout Jambudvipa. Therefore
the widespread propagation of this sutra must be under the care and
protection of Bodhisattva Universal Worthy." - "Ongi kuden", Gosho Zenshu,
page 780, The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings, page 190
