Nichiren Daishonin taught that one should expound the truth to the best of one's ability, even at the cost of one's life.
"In the whole universe there are not even two vehicles, how much less a third." (LS Ch. 2).
If someone accepts the truth and begins practicing correctly they will attain Buddhahood. If someone slanders the truth, refusing to believe, they too will [eventually] attian Buddhahood. Our responsibility is to expound the truth. President Ikeda has never pointed out the mistakes of his "friends" in high places or even come out and said to them that they should chant the Daimoku. He is a poor example compared to the Nichiren. He is not a true friend becase he fails to point out their errors, particularly their mistaken objects of veneration.
