贊曰。一尼造法華經。虔敬類是。後感報靈異。而二僧冥府誦經。致禮遇有殊。則無怪其然矣。今時念佛。有幾人似明者乎。使人人如是念佛。而千不千生。萬不萬生者。吾弗信也。

The appraisal says: A nun copied the Lotus Sūtra with a devotion similar to this, and later experienced a miraculous retribution; while two monks reciting sūtras in the netherworld received distinguished treatment—it is no wonder that it was so. Among those who practice buddhamanasikāra today, how many are like Ming? If everyone practiced buddhamanasikāra like this, then that out of a thousand not a thousand are born, or out of ten thousand not ten thousand are born—that I do not believe!
