For all intents and purposes, the Protestants and Shiites too were "excommunicated" and they are far less heretical than the Soka Gakkai. As far as Nikkyo and his "followers", it is a figure of speech. The reality is, they who chose, along with Nikkyo, to follow the Law, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Nichiren Daishonin. Your mouth will fester calling yourself a follower of Nichiren.
right !
ReplyDeleteWeren't President Ikeda and the members of the SGI excommunicated as well?
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed in good company.
P.S. Why did Nikkyo have followers? Shouldn't they be following the Law!
