"There are some of my disciples who, in their foolish way of thinking, declare: 'Though our teacher tries to propagate the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, not only does he fail to do so but he meets with these great difficulties. This is because he goes around proclaiming that ‘True Word will ruin the nation, Nembutsu leads to the hell of incessant suffering, Zen is the work of the heavenly devil, and the Precepts priests are traitors to the nation.’ He is like a person who with good reason files a complaint, but peppers it with abusive language.”
i was over on the george m williams/masayasu sadanaga Facebook page. they hate me and they hate nichiren.
ReplyDeletethey, in their delusion, think they follow nichiren. i tell them that if i did not believe in what nichiren taught, that i would not bother to chant the daimoku he brought. truncated or not. fools!
ha! ten minutes after i posted the above comment, i got a call from a longtime ikedabot. i told her that i wanted nothing to do with ikedaism and i am not into cults. asked her to stop sending me calendars. i said, please study the teachings and stop the slander. goodbye.
