"Reciting the Lotus Sutra is now senseless." -- "Saint" Nissen from The Teachings of the Honmon Butsuryu Shu by Nissho Fukuoka
This is not the teaching of Nichiren. We find in the Chu Hokkekyo, Nichiren's annotated copy of the Lotus Sutra
善戒経云。若無菩薩性者。雖復発心勤行精進雖復発心懃修精進。終不能得阿耨菩提
"One can't obtain Enlightenment without performing Gongyo" -- Nichiren
While I agree that the Lotus Sutra should be chanted, you should stop using this quote here and on Dharmawheel. It does not mean what you think it means.
