Nichiren writes: “The Lotus Sutra states, ‘[The doctrines that they preach. . . ] will never be contrary to the true reality.’ T'ien-t'ai commented on this, saying that "no worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality.’ A person of wisdom is not one who practices Buddhism apart from worldly affairs but, rather, one who thoroughly understands the principles by which the world is governed.” (WND-1, 1121)
