In The Record of the Orally transmitted teachings, the Daishonin is recorded as saying: And now the place where Nichiren and his followers chant Nam myoho renge kyo, whether...in the mountain valleys or the wide wilderness (lsoc21, 316), these places are all the Land of Eternally Tranquil Light. This is what is meant by the place of practice (for the attainment of buddhahood) (Ott, 192). Since thats the case, we need to work for kosen-rufu wherever we are, expand a network of trust and friendship, and demonstrate actual proof of happiness and victory. Wherever our life takes us, we should think of ourselves as having been sent there by the Buddha to carry out kosen-rufu. And if you regard yourself as my disciple, be assured that you are there in my place, as my representative. Sensei Light of happiness 49 xxx
