"The Great Teacher Tz'u-en wrote a work in ten volumes entitled Praising the Profundity of the Lotus Sutra in which he praised the Lotus Sutra, but the Great Teacher Dengyo criticized it, saying, "Though he praises the Lotus Sutra, he destroys its heart." If we consider these examples carefully, we will realize that, among those who read the Lotus Sutra and sing its praises, there are many who are destined for the hell of incessant suffering." -- On Repaying Debts of Gratitude
Ironically, the above passage was posted by an SGI YMD leader on the Chanting Growers Group complaining about a friend selling moldy marijuana buds because he doesn't chant Namu Myoho renge kyo.
