Does Daisaku Ikeda [or your Zone Chief] see clearly and is he without error?

"The Tathagata knows and sees the appearance of the Three Worlds in accordance with reality: there is no birth-and-death, whether backsliding or emerging; likewise there is no existence in the world nor extinction; they are not real; they are not void; they are not thus; they are not different. It is not as the Three Worlds see the Three Worlds. In such a matter as this the Tathagata sees clearly and is without error." -- Lotus Sutra Chapter 16

Think very hard before seeking and accepting the guidance from other than the Tathagata. All others are good friends, nothing more nothing less.
