We, the disciples and believers of Nichiren in this Latter Day of the Law, unlike the Chief Priests of the Tendai school in the Middle Day of the Law, will force the SGI and Nichiren Shoshu to come to a fixed conclusion

"Regarding the chief priests of the Tendai school, nothing need be said here about the Great Teacher Dengyō, the founder of the school. Following him, the first chief priest, Gishin, and the second chief priest, Enchō, both regarded the Lotus Sutra as the correct or principal doctrine and the True Word teachings as subsidiary. But the third chief priest, the Great Teacher Jikaku, viewed the True Word as the correct doctrine and the Lotus Sutra as subsidiary. The various chief priests who succeeded him in the years following debated the matter but came to no fixed conclusion."
