"There we find the true sect"

"Finally, our faith, the faith of the true Dharma, is upheld not by the possession of a given temple nor by a secret transmission, succession or line of priests, but only through the "Succession through the Scrolls of the Sutra" (kyogan sojo).  The Sutra contains the Truth and Nichiren Daishonin is its true expounder: wherever his authentic teaching based on the Lotus Sutra is practiced as it was preached, there we find the true sect.  No person, however virtuous, has authority to overturn these essential teachings." -- Reverend Tetsujo Kubota

    I assert that the Kempon Hokke is the ONLY sect of Buddhism practicing correctly in this 21stCentury.

    You are entitled to your opinion. I too once held to this opinion. Find out for yourself if this is true.
