"Thus, if it is for the sake of the Lotus Sutra, no matter what may occur, one should never turn one’s back. The Buddha “in a loud voice addressed all the four kinds of believers, saying, ‘Who is capable of broadly preaching the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law in this saha- world?’” When they responded with the thought, “I am, I am!” the Buddha admonished the nuns and laywomen as many as three times, saying that, if they desired to repay their debt to all the Buddhas, they should persevere through any difficulty to spread the Lotus Sutra in this saha- world after his passing."
