"According to the Gosho, it is not Christians who are enemies of the Lotus Sutra. That religion has no power. Shakubuku is meant for heretical sects of Buddhism, which have the power to destroy like the parasite in the lion's bowels. It is absolutely not effective to go around slamming the religion of Christians, Jews, Muslims, other Judeo-Christian or pagan peoples, etc. If that is what you mean by shakubuku. Shoju is definitely appropriate for such people, and darned if I don't know the Gosho passage offhand, but I can find it if you aren't familiar with this concept." -- SGI WD leader
When is the last time SGI took to task the Tibetians, Zennists, True Word, Tendai, and Therevadans? Also, could they point out where Nichiren praised the Brahmans and Taoists, and non-Buddhists in general? He stated that they were even inferior to the Hinayana. SGI sometimes brings up that Nichiren taught that other religions are an introduction to Buddhism. Yes, and he also points out that once the pagoda is complete, the scaffolding is discarded.
SGI either knows nothing about Nichiren Daishonin's Lotus Sutra Buddhism, they are lying, or they practice a different teaching entirely.
