(The Lotus Sutra - Chapter XIII Perseverance 2)

Having spoken this verse all the nuns addressed the Buddha, saying: “O Bhagavat! We also will extensively expound this sutra in other lands.” 

Then the Bhagavat saw eighty myriads of koṭis of nayutas of bodhisattva mahāsattvas, all of whom were at the stage of nonretrogression. They had turned the irreversible wheel of the Dharma and attained the power of recollection. Arising from their seats they went before the Buddha with their palms pressed together and with this wholehearted thought: “If the Bhagavat commands us to preserve and teach this sutra, then we will extensively expound this Dharma exactly as the Buddha has taught.” 

They also thought: “The Buddha now keeps silent and does not command us. What should we do?” 

Then all of the bodhisattvas, respecting the Buddha’s intention and also wanting to fulfill their original vow, uttered a lion’s roar in the presence of the Buddha and declared: “O Bhagavat! After the Tathāgata’s parinirvāṇa we will roam throughout the worlds of the ten directions enabling sentient beings to copy, preserve, and recite this [Lotus] Sutra, and to explain its meaning, practice it according to the Dharma, and remember it correctly. This will all be due to the Buddha’s majestic power. 

“O Bhagavat! We entreat you to protect us from afar while we are in other quarters.”

(妙法蓮華經第十三品 勸持之2)

諸比丘尼說是偈已白佛言。世尊。我等亦能於他方國土廣宣此經。爾時世尊。視八十萬億那由他諸菩薩摩訶薩。是諸菩薩。皆是阿惟越致。轉不退法輪。得諸陀羅尼。即從座起至於佛前。一心合掌而作是念。若世尊告勅我等持說此經者。當如佛教廣宣斯法。復作是念。佛今默然不見告勅。我當云何。時諸菩薩敬順佛意。并欲自滿本願。便於佛前作師子吼。而發誓言。世尊。我等於如來滅後。周旋往返十方世界。能令眾生書寫此經。受持讀誦。解說其義。如法修行。正憶念。皆是佛之威力。唯願世尊。在於他方遙見守護。
