"These passages demonstrate that persons living the household life, though they may have no particular wisdom or carry out any particular religious practices, can, through the benefits gained by combating and suppressing those who slander the Law, remove themselves from the sufferings of birth and death." -- Nichiren

ReplyDeleteSGI conveniently favours Nichiren's quotes that are not confronting unless it is directed towards the Nichiren Shoshu Priesthood. It's the case of the finger pointing out and not seeing or ignoring the other 3 that are pointing back. The teachings they present are isolated/secular and not integrated as to give the full spectrum for an unbiased analysis of the profound teachings of the one whom is the founder of the religion that they are supposed to purport
ReplyDelete"If you wish to free yourself from the sufferings of birth and death you have endured since time without beginning and to attain without fail unsurpassed enlightenment in this lifetime, you must perceive the mystic truth that is originally inherent in all living beings. This truth is Myoho-renge-kyo. Chanting Myoho-renge-kyo will therefore enable you to grasp the mystic truth innate in all life."
Yes. Merely because they were slighted by the Nichiren Shoshu, not that the Law and Buddha were slighted. How could they? They too slight the Law and Buddha.
ReplyDeleteSGi threw the baby (Law and Buddha) out with the bathwater NST
ReplyDeleteThe NST baby may have some dirt on it when it comes to ritual (heritage of the Law) and behaviour (playboy Priests). But I can't be sure when it comes to the metaphysical concepts that I consider as Doctrine, as a lot of what they say seems to be in accord with Nichiren unless I'm missing out on something - What a predicament !

ReplyDeleteThis song 'The killing floor' reminds of those who are oppressed by the religious priestly hierarchy and a multibillion dollar multinational lay Buddhist religious corporation and why it is important it is to stand up and fight them
"DaiGohonzon", "Nichiren as True Original Buddha", "Patriarchal Transmission", forged fake "Transfer Documents", forged fake Gosho, Shakyamuni "husk" Buddha... Immoral High Priests is the least of their transgressions.
