When two suns appear side by side, it is a sign that two rulers will contend for power within a single country, king fighting against king.

When two suns line up side by side, this is an omen that two rulers will appear in one nation, resulting in war.

When the stars invade the precincts of the sun and moon, it is a sign that subjects will invade the prerogatives of the ruler.

When a star disrupts the movement of the sun and moon, this is a sign that a subject will rebel against the ruler.

And when, as these signs portend, the nation has been plunged into disorder, then Bodhisattva Superior Practices and the other sages will come forward, establish the three secret Laws of the essential teaching, and spread Myoho-renge-kyo widely throughout the four continents and the region within the four seas! Could anyone doubt it?

Likewise, when the nation is in turmoil, sages such as Bodhisattva Jōgyō will make their advent to establish the three LawsThree Great Secret Lawsof the essential teaching. Thus, there is no doubt that Myoho-Renge-Kyou will prevail and kōsen-ruhu will be achieved across all continents and oceans.
