“Or there will be forest-dwelling monks wearing clothing of patched rags [business suits] and living in retirement, who will claim they are practicing the true way, despising and looking down on all humankind. Greedy for profit and support, they will preach the Law to white-robed laymen [Herbie Hancock, Orlando Bloom, Tina Turner...] and will be respected and revered by the world as though they were arhats who possess the six transcendental powers. These men with evil in their hearts, constantly thinking of worldly affairs, will borrow the name [Great Building or Daisaku] of forest-dwelling monks and take delight in proclaiming our faults, saying things like this: ‘These monks are greedy for profit and support and therefore they preach non-Buddhist doctrines and fabricate their own scriptures to delude the people of the world. Because they hope to gain fame and renown thereby they make distinctions when preaching this sutra.’ [Daisaku Ikeda's transference as he is the one who preaches non-Buddhist doctrine such of Human Revolution and Beauty, Goodness, and GAIN. As he is the one coveting fame and renown by buying 300+ honors and awards. As he is the one who makes distinctions that our Gohonzons, faith, and practice have no power]. Because in the midst of the great assembly they constantly try to defame us, they will address the rulers, high ministers, Brahmans, and householders, as well as the other monks, slandering and speaking evil of us, saying, ‘These are men of perverted views who preach non-Buddhist doctrines!" [Ikeda talking about we who embrace the orthodox teachings of the Lotus Sutra’ and Nichiren]
