  How much greater will the blessings be of one who single-mindedly listens
  And explains the Sutra's meaning, Cultivating it as he preaches,His blessings shall know no limit.

  Chapter 11 Lotus Sutra

  Have broadly expounded all the Sutras and among them all.This Sutra is foremost.
  If one can uphold it, he then upholds the Buddha's body.

  Chapter 21 Lotus Sutra

  In general, all the Dharmas of the Thus Come One, all the sovereign spiritual powers of the Thus Come One, all the secret storehouses of the Thus Come One, all the extremely profound deeds of the Thus Come One are all proclaimed and revealed in this Sutra. ."

  Hope this simple quote from the Lotus Sutra will exist you in clearing your doubt. If you have time, read the English translated Lotus Sutra for yourself to discover the preciousness of this sutra.

  The greed of food have to be reduced first.

  Can sincerely recite the name of your inner God of Mercy.

  The name of sutra i.e. Namu Myo Ho Renge Kyo or �無妙法蓮�經 bring merits and blessings as well.
