The word 'prediction' [prophecy] refers to Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. (Gosho Zenshu p. 730) It is the bestowal of the prophecy of the Law and therefore it is a bestowal of prophecy upon the Dharma realm. (Gosho Zenshu p. 731)

The sutra states, "This disciple of mine, Maha-Kashyapa in future existences will be able to enter the presence of the three thousand billion Buddhas, World Honored Ones, to offer alms, pay reverence, honor and praise them, widely proclaiming the innumerable greater doctrines of the Buddhas. And in his final incarnation he will be able to become a Buddha named Light Bright Thus Come One." (LS p 107, 3LS p. 135)

Now Nichiren and his disciples illuminate the murk and slander of the Law with the light brightness of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo. This is in fact a virtue of Kashayapa the "Light Bright Thus Come One." (Gosho Zenshu p. 731)

The sutra states, "At that time the World Honored One, understanding the thoughts in the minds of his major disciples [Maudgalayana, Subhuti and Mahakatyayana], made this announcement to the monks: 'Subhuti here in future existences... will attain Buddhahood." (LS p. 110, 3LS p. 137)

Ultimately, Shakyamuni's four great disciples of average capacity represent the four phases of our lives. Kashayapa represents birth, Katyana, old age; Maudgalyayana, illness; and Subhuti, death.

The sutra states, "The four evil paths of existence, hell and the realms of hungry spirits, beasts and asuras, will not exist there." (LS p.113, 3LS p.141)

The prophecy of falling into hell is made [for one who follows an evil teacher], and a prophecy of evil karma is conferred upon one who makes that evil cause." (Gosho Zenshu p. 730)

The sutra states, "This disciple of mine, the great Maudgalayana here, when he has cast aside his present body, will see eight thousand two hundred ten million Buddhas, World Honored Ones." (LS p 115, 3LS p.143)

The chanting of Nam Myoho Renge Kyo corresponds to 'casting aside his body'. And when we interpret this passage, takes on the meaning of offering the five elements of one's own body to the universe, not casting off one's own body. Giving up one's own present body to become a Buddha is an interpretation of the sutra from the theoretical teachings. The sutra refers to the discarding of the theoretical teaching as 'casting aside this body.'" (Gosho Zenshu p. 731)

Poglavlje 6: Predskazanje [Đuki]

Sutra tvrdi: "Ovaj moj učenik, Maha-Kašjapa će u budućim postojanjima biti sposoban da pristupi trima bilionima budâ, Svetski Uvaženima, da im ponudi milodare, iskaže poštovanje, čast i hvalu, naširoko objavljujući bezbrojna velika učenja ovih budâ. A u svojoj konačnoj inkarnaciji biće sposoban da postane buda zvan Takodošavši Jasnog Svetla." (LS, strana 107; 3LS str. 135)

Sada Ničiren i njegovi učenici osvetljavaju mrak i klevetu Zakona svetlom jasnosti Nam Mjoho Renge Kjoa. To je u stvari vrlina Kašjapina "Takodošavšeg Jasnog Svetla". (Gošo Zenšu str. 731)

Sutra kaže: "U to vreme, Svetski Uvaženi, shvatajući misli u umovima njegovih najvažnijih učenika [Maudgalajana, Subhuti i Mahakatjajana], saopšti ovo kaluđerima: 'Subhuti će u budućim životima... dostići budastvo'." (LS str. 110; 3LS str. 137)

Konačno, Šakjamunijeva četiri velika učenika uobičajene sposobnosti predstavljaju četiri faze našeg života. Kašjapa predstavlja rođenje, Katjana starost, Maudgaljajana bolest, a Subhuti smrt. 

Sutra tvrdi: "Četiri zle staze postojanja, pakao i područje gladnih duhova, zveri i asura, neće tamo postojati." (LS str.113; 3LS str. 141) 

Proročanstvo padanja u pakao se tiče [onih koji slede zla učenja], a proročanstvo zle karme je dato za one koji stvaraju taj zao uzrok. (Gošo Zenšu str. 730)

Sutra tvrdi: "Ovaj moj učenik, ovde, veliki Maudgalajana, kada bude odbacio svoje sadašnje telo, videće osam hiljada i dve stotine i deset miliona buda, Svetski Uvaženih." (LS str. 115; 3LS str.143)

Recitovanje Nam Mjoho Renge Kjoa odgovara "odbacivanju njegovog tela". I kada tumačimo ovaj odeljak, to dobija značenje nuđenja pet elemenata vlastitog tela univerzumu, a ne odbacivanja svog vlastitog tela. Predavanje vlastitog sadašnjeg tela da bi se postalo budom je jedna interpretacija sutre koja dolazi iz teoretskih učenja. Sutra upućuje na odbacivanje teorijskih učenja kao na "odbacivanje ovog tela". (Gošo Zenšu str. 731)
