"On the other hand, those who practice the provisional teachings against the admonition of Shakyamuni, Many Treasures, and the Buddhas of the ten directions will definitely fall into the hell of incessant suffering. Now that so wondrous a precept [the Diamond Chalice Precept of the Lotus Sutra] has been revealed, none of the precepts expounded in the pre-Lotus Sutra teachings or in the theoretical teaching have the slightest power to benefit people. Since they provide not the slightest benefit, it is totally useless to observe them, even for a single day."
But Reverend Tsuchiya of the modern Kempon Hokke says that we should use and apply such base teachings to our lives. Not only is it useless to observe them, it is useless to follow such a priest as he.
tell it like it is. thanks. as a rule the japanese have sold the lotus sutra and nichiren. of course that includes the sgi as well as it is and always will be a japanese org.
ReplyDeletei hope tsuchiya sees this. he should be ashamed of himself. if one truly knows the teachings and what the leader for the latter day - nichiren truly taught, it is very clear. the people that support him don't know the teachings. same mistake they made before. look at the history.
