The Lotus Sūtra 5.3

5.3

爾時文殊師利法王子菩薩摩訶薩白佛言：「世尊！是諸菩薩，甚為難有，敬順佛故，發大誓願，於後惡世，護持讀說是法華經。世尊！菩薩摩訶薩於後惡世，云何能說是經？」

At that time Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Mañjuśrī, Prince of the Dharma, addressed the Buddha: “Bhagavat! These bodhisattvas are extremely rare. Reverently yielding to the Buddha, they have made great vows to protect, uphold, read, and preach this Lotus Sūtra in the future evil age. Bhagavat! How will these Bodhisattva Mahāsattvas be able to preach this sūtra in the future evil age?”
