Gosho passage - January 2, 2014

"There is no true happiness for human beings other than chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. The sutra reads, “. . . where living beings enjoy themselves at ease.” How could this passage mean anything but the boundless joy of the Law? Surely you are included among the “living beings.” “Where” means Jambudvipa, and Japan lies within Jambudvipa."

From Gosho "Happiness in This World" (The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, page 681)
