There are no requirements other than to “embrace the Lotus Sutra.” We don’t have to do anything special. That’s why there is no need to try to be anyone other than who we are, to put on airs, or to envy others. When we face problems and suffering, all we need to do is continue striving in our faith. When we persevere in faith and never give in to defeat, no matter what happens in life, we are showing proof that we have won and are demonstrating the power of the Lotus Sutra.
