"Rather than offering up ten thousand prayers for remedy, it would be better simply to outlaw this one evil." -- Establishing the Right Law for the Peace of the Land.
Nichiren was talking about the Pure Land teachings which discard Shakyamuni Buddha. Today, it is the worms in the body of Myoho who are the greatest enemies of Buddhism. Those who chant the Daimoku yet discard Shakyamuni Buddha and the Lotus Sutra are the one evil to be outlawed. Nichiren taught that the way to eliminate these worms is to refrain from giving them alms.
