The function of fire is to burn and give light. The function of water is to wash away filth. The winds blow away dust and breathe life into plants, animals and human beings. The earth produces grasses and trees, and heaven provides nourishing moisture. The five characters of Myoho-renge-kyo are also like that. They are the cluster of blessings brought by the Boddhisattvas of the Earth, disciples of Buddha in his true identity.
The Heritage of the Ultimate Law. (WND, 218)
