"The Zen [SGI?] believers of the present age are all holders of greatly erroneous views. In particular, they rely on the recorded sayings of common mortals [Ikeda, Nagashina, Marcos, Witkowski, etc] who have not yet freed themselves from the three categories of illusion, and scorn the words and teachings of the Thus Come One, the possessor of the four kinds of wisdom, perfect in understanding. Could there be any greater folly? For the sickness they have no medicine to offer, to fit the capacities of living beings they have no teachings. Even bodhisattvas at the stage of near-perfect enlightenment still relied upon the Buddha’s teachings—why do these ignorant people who are on the lowest level of practice not put their faith in the sutras?"
