“Those who are capable of embracing
the Lotus of the Wonderful Law
relinquish their claim to the pure land
and out of pity for living beings are born here.
Know that persons such as these
freely choose where they will be born,
and choose to be born in this evil world
so they may broadly expound the unsurpassed Law.”
– Chapter 10 : The Teacher of the Law.
Please remember this is a passage from the Theoretical Section of the Lotus Sutra. In reality, this is the Eternal Pure Land of the Buddha as taught in the most important section of the Essential Teachings, Chapter 16 of the Lotus Sutra.
