No matter what, we will not compromise Nichiren Daishonin's teachings, not for converts, not for a peaceful and secure existence in this lifetime, not to appease the authorities, nor to make friends and influence people.
Nichiren is finally mentioned in the fourth paragraph of the SGI's document for public consumption in Brazil. They are embarrassed by the real Nichiren and that is why they rely on the questionable texts, those most likely authored by those with the same appeaser mentality.
Nichiren was correct about the nature of the Lotus Sutra in Mappo and the Rissho Kosekai, HBS, NST and especially the SGI is wrong. Many so-called Nichiren priests and members, possibly a majority, especially in the Nichiren Shu, and in the Kempon Hokke Japan are wrong. The way to establish the Buddha's land is to transmit the teachings exactly as laid down by Nichiren Daishonin. The Dharma, the truth of the teachings is what is important. We see how the SGI teachings on the Third Great Secret Law culminated...in abject ruin That is because the Dharma which they propagate is not the Lotus Sutra for Mappo. They are a disgrace.
Social programs too were eschewed by Nichiren Daishonin who believed in personal liberty, ultimate responsibility of the individual, and the belief that the Buddhist gods would absolutely protect those who embrace the True Dharma. There are no exceptions. the Buddhist gods in the form of family members or rulers will protect those who are disabled. All others must fend for themselves which is as easy as spreading honey on bread to someone who embraces the Right Law. The Lotus Sutra promises that none of those who embrace the True Law will want for food, clothing, and shelter. Nichiren Daishonin also promises that a great collection of believers will activate all the protective functions of the universe and the Buddha's land will manifest as the Land of Eternal Quiescent Light.
Believe in the Lotus Sutra, Buddha Shakyamuni, and Nichiren Daishonin.
