Honor be to the Great Mandala,
The perfect circle of all honorable ones revealed by our founder Nichiren Shonin.
Honor be to the Eternal Buddha,
Our original teacher who attained awakening in the remotest past.
Honor be to the Sutra of the Lotus Flower of the wonderful Dharma,
The teaching of equality,
The great wisdom,
The one vehicle.
Honor be to our founder,
The great Bodhisattva Nichiren Shonin,
Dispatched by our original Buddha.
Honor be to Renge Ajari Nichiji Shonin,
The first overseas missionary.
Honor be to the heavenly gods and benevolent deities who protect the practitioner of the one vehicle.
May all you venerable ones come to this consecrated place out of your compassion toward us.

Verses for opening the Sutra,
Kaikyo-ge.
The most profound and wonderful teaching is presented in this Sutra.
This Sutra is difficult to meet even once in thousands and millions of aeons.
Now we have been able to see,
Hear,
Receive and keep this Sutra.
May we understand the most excellent teaching of the Tathagata.
The most excellent teaching of the great vehicle is very difficult for us to understand.
We shall be able to approach awakening when we see,
Hear or touch this Sutra.
Expounding is the Buddha's reward body.
Expounded is the Buddha's Dharma body.
The letters composing this Sutra are the Buddha's accommodative body.
Just as perfume is caught by something put nearby,
So shall we be richly benefited by this Sutra.
Even when we are not aware of being so benefited because infinite merits are accumulated in this Sutra,
We can expiate our past transgressions,
Do good deeds and attain Buddhahood by the merits of this Sutra.
It does not matter whether we are wise or not,
Or whether we believe this Sutra or slander it.
This Sutra is the most wonderful and most excellent taught by the Buddhas of the past,
Present and future.
May we meet and receive it birth after birth,
World after world.
