They actually belong to the first chapter of the Muryogi Sutra (The Innumerable Meanings Sutra), which serves as an introductory work, or prologue, to the Lotus Sutra. During Pres. Toda’s life, the Muryogi Sutra was included in the same volume as the Lotus Sutra. https://www.nichirenlibrary.org/en/di... Text of the Muryogi Sutra: https://www.nichirenlibrary.org/en/ls...
