You believe the Ongi Kuden is authentic? Then believe this!

Taken from the Ongi Kuden [The Record of the Orally Transmitted Teachings].

"[The object of worship of this devotion] are the Person and the Dharma.
[Devotion to] the Person means devoting one's life to Sakyamuni
Buddha...." (STN 3:2605-6) 

"Now Nichiren and his followers are King Ajatashatru, because we take up
the sword of Namu- myoho-renge-kyo and slay our mother, who is
attachment, and our father, who is delusion, and attain the Buddha's
body like Lord Sakyamuni Buddha..." (STN 3:2608) 

"The meaning of the "Fathoming the Lifespan" chapter lies in the
Buddha's actual attainment of enlightenment in the remotest past (kuon
jitsujo). .." (STN 3:2666) 

"This excellent good medicine I now leave here. You should take it and
drink it and not fear that you will not be cured.  In the final dharma
age, it means Namu Myoho Renge ."
