The Soka Gakkai and Nichiren Shoshu priests, leaders, and members are patrons of Devedatta

"All these teachers and their supporters who forget Shakyamuni [of the “Life Span” chapter] and choose some other Buddha instead are like Prince Ajātashatru, who killed his father, King Bimbisāra, and, turning against Shakyamuni became a patron of Devadatta." -- Nichiren
