"According to the above passage of the Great Teacher T’ien-t’ai, in this latter age the persons who are lacking in good roots are many, and those who possess them are few. Therefore, many people are doubtless destined to fall into the evil paths in their next existence. And if they are destined for the evil paths in any case, then one should preach the Lotus Sutra to them forcefully and thereby allow them to create a “poison-drum relationship” with the sutra. Hence there can be no doubt that this latter age is the proper time in which to preach the Lotus Sutra to all people, thus enabling them to create a reverse relationship with it by slandering it."
This passage shatters SGI's interfaith practices.
ReplyDeleteForcefully? Poison drum relationship?

Yes ohgee. For example, you ohgee will fall into hell for failing to take faith in the Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha of the Juryo Chapter of the Lotus Sutra, and Nichiren Daishonin, the Supreme Votary of the Lotus Sutra.
