The Lotus Sutra Chapter IV Willing Acceptance

Yet the impoverished son still lived

In a thatched hut outside the gate,

And considered himself poor, thinking

That these things were not his own.

猶處門外，止宿草庵，自念貧事：『我無此物。』

不過，兒子并不知道父親良苦用心，他仍然将自己視爲外姓之人，一直住在門外的草庵之中，他心中也隻盤算些貧窮低微的事項，不認爲自己會有父親這樣多的無量财寶。

The father knew that his son

Was gradually becoming more noble;

And, wanting to give him his fortune,

He assembled the king, ministers,

K?atriyas, householders, and relatives.

父知子心，漸已廣大，欲與財物。即聚親族、國王大臣、剎利居士。

“當然，二十年的權宜教誨，窮子也确實提高了許多。父親發現兒了的心境漸漸開闊，就準備将财物轉賜給他。于是，他将親族、國王、大臣、武士、居士等各方面人士全都召集到一起，
