千里の野のかれたる草に蛍火の如くなる火を一つつけぬれば須臾に一草・二草・十・百・千万草につきわたりてもゆれば十町・二十町の草木・一時にやけつきぬ、竜は一滴の水を手に入れて天に昇りぬれば三千世界に雨をふらし候、小善なれども法華経に供養しまいらせ給いぬれば功徳此の如し

The Teaching That Accords with the Buddha´s Mind
Or it is like the case of a single flame, no bigger than the light of a firefly, which, when applied to a thousand-ri plain of dried grass, in the space of an instant burns first one blade of grass, then two, then ten, a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand, so that the grass and trees over an area of ten or twenty cho a consumed all at once. A dragon who places one small drop of water in its claws and ascends to the heavens can cause rain to fall upon the major world system. When performed as an offering to the Lotus Sutra, even a small act of goodness products benefits that are equal in magnitude to these.
