Daisaku Ikeda's interpretations can be flushed down the toilet

Four Rules of Textual Interpretation

1. the doctrine (dharma) over the person (puru.sa) presenting it; 
2. the spirit (artha) of the text over the words (vya~njana) in which it is presented; 
3. the precise meanings (nitaartha) over our interpretations (neyaartha) thereof; 
4. direct or immediate knowledge (j~naana) over mediated, discursive consciousness (vij~naana).

Nichiren's hermeneutics is based on the actual living of the text of the Lotus Sutra. All other interpretations and explanations can be flushed down the toilet, especially Daisaku Ikeda's and the SGI's.
