“The ‘Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings’ is a record of Nichiren
Daishonin’s lectures on the most important passages of the Lotus Sutra. The lectures, given at the request of his disciples and conducted at Mount Minobu, were written down by Nikko Shonin. And that record was approved by the Daishonin himself. Together with "On the True Cause’ and ‘The 106 Comparisons’ — two significant documents written by Nichiren Daishonin and entrusted directly to his legitimate heir and successor, Nikko Shonin —it is a work of momentous consequence, presenting as it does the quintessence of the Daishonin’s teaching."
