Fogeries, agendas, stupidity, and the lack of faith of the successive presidents of the Soka Gakkai

"This Heritage and the essential matters of the Gohonzon are documents

of the transmission of the Law from Nichiren to the successive Master

of the Seat of the Law. They concern the transmission bestowed at the

treasure tower, the transmission of the Heritage of the Law

exclusively from one to the next."

("Hon'ninmyo Sho", Gosho Zenshu, p. 887)

FORGERY: Not in Nichiren's hand [This work contains a reference to the "Nichiren School" (Nichiren Shu), a term that has been in use only since 1536. Also the term, "received by a single person" is found nowhere in the authenticated writings of Nichiren.]

"This transmission is the oral transmission from Nichiren to one

legitimate disciple, the secret transmission entrusted to only one

person." "Ubuyo Sojo Ji" [Transmission Concerning the First Bath],

Shinpen, p. 1710.

FORGERY: Not in Nichiren's hand and with principles that run counter to the Five Major Writings.

"The successive Shonin are all, without exception, Nichiren."

(Nichiren Daishonin, "Seven Teachings on the Gohonzon Transmitted from

Master to Disciple", Fuji Shugaku Yoshu, vol. 1, p. 32; Nichiren

Shoshu Seiten, p. 379)

FORGERY Not in Nikko's hand and runs contrary to everything written in Nikko's authentic works.

"I have appointed Byakuren Ajari Nikko as the So-kanzu, the general

chief priest, and transfer the entirety and every detail of the true

doctrine of Nichiren. The top senior priests down to every disciple

must regard each of the successive High Priests transferred from Nikko

to each in succession to be the So-kanzu, general chief priest,without

any opposition as in this time for throughout eternity in the

future. ("On the One-Hundred and Six Articles", Gosho

Zenshu, p. 869)

FORGERY Not in Nichiren's or Nikko's hand and runs counter to everything they had written that is authenticated.

"The scholars in the world today cannot understand this because they

have not learned the transmission of the Heritage."

("Rissho Kansho," Shinpen, p. 770)

FORGERY Not in Nichiren's hand. Not accepted by Priests or scholars of any school or independents except for the Nichiren Shoshu.

"We, ourselves, cannot produce the Gohonzon. Since it's the

enlightened entity of Nichiren Daishonin, **no one** has the

authority **other than the successive high priests** who have been

the **sole heirs to the heritage of the True Law**. We take no part

in this. Therefore, the objects of worship inscribed by those in the

Butsuryu and Minobu factions [of the Nichiren sect] are absolutely

powerless. They are worthless because they are fake. In fact, they

contain the power of evil spirits. That is why they are dangerous."

Josei Toda, Daibyaku Renge, 98, p. 98.

STUPIDITY based on FORGERIES and lack of faith in Namu Myoho renge kyo.

"Members of the Minobu school of the Nichiren sect chant daimoku. They

have the Gosho Their recitation of the sutra also includes the Hoben

and Juryo chapters. And, in the Shoshinkai, which consists of

ex-priests of Nichiren Shoshu , and the portions of the sutra they

recite and the daimoku that they chant are identical to the practice

we observe. Though their religion may seem the same as ours, they lack

the **single, unbroken heritage of the law recieved directly** from

Nichiren Daishonin. If one's faith is not based on this line of

**inheritance**, i t is worthless to embrace any Gohonzon, for no

benefit will be forthcoming. That is to say, "Without the lifeblood of

faith, it would be useless to embrace the Lotus Sutra." "

Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhism in Action, vol 3, p 254

STUPIDITY based on FORGERIES and lack of faith in Namu Myoho renge kyo

"The Dai-Gohonzon of the high sanctuary of true Buddhism at the

Nichiren Shoshu head temple, Taiseki-ji, is the basis of all

Gohonzons. The Gohonzon, which we are allowed to recieve so that we

can pray in our own homes, can be inscribed **only** by one of the

**successive high priests who inherit the true lineage** of Nichiren

Shoshu." -- Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhism in Action, vol. 1, pg. 21

STUPIDITY based on FORGERIES and lack of faith in Namu Myoho renge kyo

"It goes without saying that our Soka Gakkai is an organization of

Nichiren Shoshu believers. Therefore, worshipping the Dai-Gohonzon and

serving the high priest is the **fundamental** spirit of the Gakkai."

Daisaku Ikeda, Inaugural address of president Ikeda, 1960

STUPIDITY based on FORGERIES and lack of faith in Namu Myoho renge kyo

"Needless to say, the Dai-Gohonzon of the high sanctuary inscribed for

all mankind is the most **fundamental** basis of the movement for the

Nichiren Shoshu Soka Gakkai [they have since changed the name to SGI].

The Dai-Gohonzon has been preserved and handed down within Nichiren

Shoshu from the founder, Nichiren Daishonin, to his successor, Nikko

Shonin, and then to the third high priest, Nichimoku Shonin, up to the

present 67th high priest, Nikken Shonin. I hope, therefore, that we

will courageously dedicate ourselves to studying Nichiren Daishonin's

teachings in order to deepen our faith and to propagation true

Buddhism in each country or community, as we follow the high priest's

guidance, and respect the traditions and doctrines of Nichiren

Shoshu."  Daisaku Ikeda, Buddhism in Action, vol 1, p 33
