"Disciples must absorb and understand the Gosho in the depths of their lives. But the most profound teachings can only be transmitted by the master." -- Fake Taisekeji writing attributed to Nikko

Soka Gakkai leader Harsh Mishra comments on this fake writing:
"...no one but Daisaku Ikeda has grasped his [Nichiren Daishonin's] heart..." [implying that Daisaku Ikeda is the only master who can transmit the most profound teachings].
The Taisekiji and Soka Gakkai theology that a living master/mentor is required in order to fully grasp the teachings and to attain Buddhahood is a great slander of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren. Thanks to this false teaching, every last Nichiren Shoshu and Soka Gakkai member fail to ascend beyond the Worlds of Animality and Anger.
If we think about it rationally [which both the Nichiren Shoshu and SGI adherents are incapable of doing, thus proving that they have not even advanced beyond the World of Anger], the most profound teaching is Namu Myoho renge kyo. Anyone whether wise or foolish can transmit this teaching. Therefore, the passage attributed to Nikko is an obvious forgery.

ReplyDeleteAll the more reason to weed out the fake Gosho - so we ALL have the "Master's" own words to absorb and understand, as Nichiren intended...
