### [1.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.1.53)

The ocean has the virtue of the kan trigram, because myriad streams converge into it, and because they are of the same salty flavor. The Lotus is also like this: what the Buddha realized is where myriad goods converge together, riding together upon the buddha-yāna. Rivers, lakes, and streams do not possess this great virtue; other sūtras are also like this, and therefore the Lotus is the greatest.
