    It is a Japanese version of the Chinese translation of the Sanskrit title of the Lotus Sutra.

    "Literally translated as 'Devotion to the Law of the Lotus Scripture' and exegetical translated as 'Devotion to the Mystic Law of Cause and Effect that Exists Throughout all the Sounds and Vibrations of the Universe'"
    (from the wiki)

    In other words, it really doesn't mean anything.
