(Invocation.)
_Ether, Wind, Fire, Water, Earth!--Hail to the Sutra of the
Lotos of the Good Law!_
(Commemorative text.)
To-day, the service of the third year has been performed in
order that our lay-brother [_kaimyō_] may be enabled to cut off the
bonds of illusion, to open the Eye of Enlightenment, to remain free
from all pain, and to enter into bliss.
