Are commas needed?

The following Gosho is from the Internet and the link is below it. (‘Gosho’ is writings by Nichiren Daishonin, founder of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism.)

In the Gosho, “On the Four Debts of Gratitude” ( Shion-sho ), the Daishonin stated as follows:

Those who learn Buddhism shall repay the four debts of gratitude.

( Gosho , p.267)

I would like to know whether the comma after ‘Gosho’ and the other after the closed bracket are needed.

Thanks.

@tanguatlay,
You know I'm a big fan of commas, however, I don't think the one after Gosho is needed. The other one sounds right. Sometimes I base the need on whether the text is to be technically punctuated or if the commas are for the sake of someone who will be speaking the text.
