The Buddha's Room, Robe, and Seat


If people are to teach this sutra*,
Let them enter the Tathagata's** room,
Put on the Tathagata's robe,
And sit on the Tathagata's seat.

Facing the multitude without fear,
Let them teach it clearly everywhere,

With great compassion as their room,
Gentleness and patience as their robe,
And the emptiness of all things as their seat.
Doing this, they should teach the Dharma.

                                     ---The Lotus Sutra---
