Nichiren Daishonin taught that one should expound the truth even at the cost of one's life, as the Buddha: "In the whole universe there are not even two vehicles, how much less a third." (LS Ch. 2).
If one accepts the truth and begins practicing correctly, they will attain Buddhahood. If one slanders the truth, refusing to believe, they too will [eventually] attain Buddhahood but after a very long time. Our responsibility is to expound the truth. Daisaku Ikeda has never pointed out the mistakes of his "friends" in high places nor has he exhorted them to chant the Daimoku. He is not a true friend because he fails to point out his friends' errors, particularly their mistaken objects of veneration. He is a poor example
