“So read the thread Brother! And try chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo! And please do me the personal favor of doing your best to spell it correctly. Even if you don’t understand why, please understand that some of us think it really important to tell you that.” — Thomas Pass the Doobie
I think it is more important to tell potential converts what Nichiren Daishonin actually taught, rather than what a dopey doped up SGI leaders thinks:
“And when the two characters for namu are prefixed to Myoho-renge-kyo, or the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law, we have the formula Namu-myoho-renge-kyo.” — The Opening of the Eyes
Yet, there are those who claim that they follow Nichiren Daishonin but they chant Nam Myoho renge kyo. If they can’t even follow Nichiren on this most basic and important matter [of the One Great Secret Law], how can we trust them that they follow Nichiren on any less important matters?
