[hider=Lotus Sutra]In this way, since my attainment of Buddhahood it has been a very great interval of time. 
My life-span is incalculable, ever enduring, never perishing. 
O good men! The life-span I achieved in my former treading of the bodhisattva path even now is not exhausted, for it is twice the above number. Yet even now, though in reality I am not to enter final nirvana, yet I proclaim that I am about to accept extinction.
By resort to these expedient devices the Thus Come One the Tathagata teaches and converts the beings[/hider][/center]

Yumi's voice the only sound in the shrine as she chants the lotus 9 times as tradition manages at that time of day then once finished she becomes aware of the sun breaking the overcast as a beam like a golden spot light strikes the Shrine hill bathing everything in it's glow making her smile and feel a tingle pass through her giving her a delightful sensation as she steps out from under the overhanging roof.

She still smiles as she looks through the gate in the clouds but it is a smile of wonderment because she see's another world resting on the edge of the clouds that is slowly revealed as the concealing mists display that she does not see another world but she's she is in another world. Stunned she steps back feeling so alone atop the hill she has called home since she came here as a child.

So she begins chanting the Lotus sutra once more and feels a wash of relief as she feels the "Hito no kokoro" or Spirit of people around her spread over the city and it makes her giggle thinking how strange it is that the Hito no kokoro used in the practice of blind seeing should now come to her so strongly.
