The SGI teapot calling the Nichiren Shoshu kettle black

"The 59th high priest, Nichiko Hori, an imminent scholar of Nichiren Buddhism, once lamented the widespread corruption within the priesthood, satirically paraphrasing the Lotus Sutra: “It has fallen upon my ears that the wise priests of the Latter Day . . . always keep this thought in mind: ‘How can I cause my purse to quickly acquire money?’ How could this be possibly true?” The Lotus Sutra passage actually reads: “How can I cause living beings to . . . quickly acquire the body of a Buddha?” Nichiko pointed out that within the priesthood there has been always corrupt priests living off Buddhism." - SGI Soka Spirit
