妙法蓮華經玄義 1.56

1.56

Lamps, torches, stars, and the moon abide together with darkness, which exemplifies other sūtras preserving the path and fruit of the two vehicles and standing alongside the small; the sun can destroy darkness, which exemplifies the Lotus destroying the conjured city and removing the thatched hut. Furthermore, the sun outshines the stars and the moon, causing them not to appear; the Lotus sweeps away the traces and eliminates the expedient means.
