Some teachings of Nichiko Hori

In his "Commentary on the Kegi Sho", the fifty-ninth High Priest of 
Taisekiji, Nichiko Hori, makes the following statement: 

"In the final analysis, faith, heritage and the water of the Law are one 
 and the same.  Through faith, the believer receives the water of the Law

 from the Original Buddha.  The water of the Law thus received flows within

 the believer's life, just as blood circulates within the human body.  For this 
 reason, to convey the water of the Law through faith is to transmit the 
 heritage.  Therefore, faith should never be disturbed or shaken.  If it is 
 disturbed, the water of the Law will cease to flow. Or, even, if it continues

 to run, it will become defiled and irregular, thus cutting off the flow of Budd-

 hism itself.  As long as faith remains unshaken, the pure and immaculate

 heritage of Buddhism will continue to flow with vigor, not matter how many

 ages may pass." 

Question: Who is the Original Buddha HP Hori speaks of? 

Nichiren says in "Reply to sairen-bo" 

"When Shakyamuni Buddha, our original teacher appeared in the world in 
order to expound the Lotus Sutra, like shadows and echoes the Buddhas and 
bodhisattvas of the other worlds came forth and assisted him in his efforts to 
spread the teachings." Nichiren then says in "The Buddha's Own Mind" 

"Rejecting Shakyamuni Buddha, who is the sovereign, teacher and parent 
of our present world, they pray to escape to another world......and that 
belongs to a complete stranger." 

Why do Believers in the Nichiren Shoshu and Gakkai Philosophy disregard 
Shakyamuni? Why do they ignore the words of Nichiren himself?  Their own High 
Priest (Hori) says that the flow of Buddhahood is cut off if the Original 
Buddha is not the source of the flow.  But whydid they ignore Nichiren's own 
words and change the identity of this Original Buddha?   Who would believe 
anyone but Nichiren?  It's folly to take the word of later High Priests of Taisekiji 
when they contradict the words of Nichiren. 

Nichiren says in, "The Buddha's Own Mind": 

"The people of today, however, believe the pronouncements of their own teachers 
 to be the golden words of the Buddha.  Thus they place such pronouncements on 
 the same level as the Lotus Sutra, considering the two to be equal authority; 
 or they regard these teachings as superior to the Lotus Sutra; or they reason 
 that, though their teacher's pronouncements are inferior, they are well suited 
 to the capacity of the people." 

How many times have we read: "The Sokagakkai has modernized Buddhism"; 
"Daisaku Ikeda has made Buddhism easily understood for the modern age"; "The 
Human Revolutio" is the modern day Gosho"; "Nichikan is the great restorer of 
Buddhism"?

The lineage of the High Priests at Taisekiji has been broken many, many times. 
HP Hori points out that one should take their lineage from the Original Buddha, 
Shakyamuni. The big question is, why do the members of Nichiren Shoshu still 
accepts the unbroken lineage theory?, when we have proven the lineage has been 
"broken many times." Why do the Taisekaji schools turn their back on Nichiren and 
our Original Teacher, Shakyamuniin favor of Daisaku Ikeda, or Nikken? There is no 
proof that the DaiG is real,yet they believe. No proof that Nikko is the true successor, 
yet they believe. Their own priest, Nichiko Hori, states: 

"If we ignore Nichiren and Nikko, and disobey the Buddha's will by following 
 heretical or blind belief, the river of the Law will become blocked, and they 
 will be pushed back in mind and body, to the state of benightedness. They will 
 lose their right to the lifeblood which enables one to attain Buddhahood in the flesh."
