Daisaku Ikeda lacking wisdom

"If we embrace this Gohonzon and chant Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, we ourselves become the object of fundamental respect (honzon) of ichinen sanzen and embody the founder, Nichiren Daishonin" -- speech by Daisaku Ikeda on April 2, 1993 May 3, 1993 WORLD TRIBUNE

"The Maka shikan says: 'If one lacks faith [in the Lotus Sutra], one will object that it pertains to the lofty realm of the sages, something far beyond the capacity of one’s own wisdom to comprehend. If one lacks wisdom, one will become puffed up with arrogance and will claim to be the equal of the Buddha.'" -- Opening of the Eyes

    One cannot develop wisdom without faith. If only those who were fortunate enough to encounter the Lotus Sutra [reciting gongyo] and Nichiren's writings, [Gosho] would READ for comprehension the words they mouth and the teachings that bear Nichiren's name, there would be no doubting the divergent, heretical course of the SGI.
