"Regarding the word myo of Myoho-renge-kyo, Bodhisattva Nagarjuna comments in The Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom that it “can change poison into medicine.” And the Great Teacher T’ien-t’ai says, “But when the Lotus Sutra predicts that these people [of the two vehicles] will eventually attain Buddhahood, the poison is changed into medicine.” Though calamities may come, they can be changed into good fortune."
