"In the “Teacher of the Law” chapter of the Lotus Sutra, the Buddha states: “Medicine King, though there may be many persons, those still living in the household and those who have left it, who practice the way of the bodhisattva, if they are not willing to see, hear, read, recite, copy, embrace, and offer alms to this Lotus Sutra, then you should know that such persons are not yet practicing the bodhisattva way in a fitting manner. But if there are those who will listen to this sutra, then they are capable of practicing the bodhisattva way in a fitting manner.”
If the sutra meant that one could attain Buddhahood through contemplation of the mind alone, then why would it speak of “seeing, hearing, reading, reciting”? This sutra makes “hearing” the sole basis of practice."
Hearing "mentor" or "High Priest" likewise is not hearing this Myoho renge kyo.
