Buddha Nichiren Daishonin stated:
“The Buddha, being truly worthy of respect, never
judges by the size of one’s offerings. In the past,
Tokusho
Doji offered a mud pie to the Buddha, and was
reborn as
King Ashoka and ruled over all of Jambudvipa.”
(MW, Vol. 7, p. 259)
And
“The amount of one’s offerings is not what
determines
the roots of good fortune. The merit differs
depending
upon the country, the person and the time.”
(Gosho, p. 1581)
Great benefit is brought forth when Gokuyo is offered to the best
of one’s ability according to one’s circumstances,
and arises from
pure faith. (p.
