The Rissho Ankoku Ron (On Securing the Peace of the Land through the Propagation of True Buddhism) was written in 1260 and submitted to Hojo Tokiyori, the most powerful man in the Japanese government. The document takes the form of a dialog between a host (who symbolizes Nichiren) and a traveler who is stopping at his house. It has been said that Nichiren's teaching begin and end with the Rissho Ankoku Ron.
