"According to the scriptures, the practitioner of the Lotus
Sutra during the age of the Latter Day of the Law is a true
Mahayana monk if he upholds the sutra to the extent that he
is hated be people. He is then a Dharma master who
propagates the Dharma and benefits people. A monk who
everyone thinks well of, who is agreeable and tries to be
looked up to should be regarded as the enemy of the Lotus
Sutra and an evil influence in the world"
