"I remember brainwashed gakkai members literally shedding tears over the beauty of the Nikken gohonzons, admiring the powerful calligraphy, then later, after the split, those same people looking at the same gohonzon with the same scorn as if they were casting their eyes upon used sheets of toilet paper. With a wave of the magical gakkai arm, they changed gohonzons (declaring which ones had "power" and which ones didn't), changed gongyo, changed the prayers and relegated the dai gohonzon to subsidiary status. Such shortsighted chutzpah was the beginning of the meltdown. It was indeed sheer stupidity.
It's pretty clear that the gakkai cult will say anything to make the winds blow in the direction that they desire and to justify whatever it is that they wish to do. There are no core principles to which they adhere and respect, they simply wing it, frivolously changing with the times." -- Hitch
I think it is only a matter of time before Soka Gakkai will issue Authentic Nichiren inscribed Gohonzon's

ReplyDeleteHaving a true Gohonzon is reason for hope and a good start. Maybe then the Gosho will start being read directly , and Nichiren will be able to get through. A relationship with mind of Nichiren and Shakyamuni is paramount but currently sadly missing due to diversions
