Dharma realm. This position (of Nichiren) is Myo

Shin Jo Butsu (attaining enlightenment as you are),
the unchanging immutable Original Buddha [hon-butsu]
...the meaning for each successive (high) priest to write
'Nichiren zai go han (when he transcribes the Gohonzon)
is deep and profound. It means that each successive Shonin
(sage=buddha, >i.e., high priest) is of the (same) significance
as Nichiren .... Signed Nichiren, Koan 5 (1282), Tenth
Month, Tenth Day" Showa Shintei, page 2721-2722
It is not in Nichiren's hand, it is not actually signed "Nichiren", it has no Nichiren seal, it goes against Nichiren's Five Major Writings, and it goes against the entire body of his authenticated writings.
