Some state that the teaching of the Lotus Sutra is the teaching of will power consciousness [Ichinen]. Nichiren taught in his authentic writings that the teaching of the Lotus Sutra is the teaching of faith. I maintain that it was Nichiren Daishonin's faith in the Lotus Sutra that saved him at Tatsunokuchi, not his determination to stay alive at any cost. I also maintain that the Lotus Sutra is a simple faith that some [the Nichiren Shoshu and the Soka Gakkai] have complicated for their own self serving interests.
