Nichiren on worldly fame and profit

"How long does a lifetime last? If one stops to consider, it is like a single night’s lodging at a wayside inn. Should one forget that fact and seek some measure of worldly fame and profit? Though you may gain them, they will be mere prosperity in a dream, a delight scarcely to be prized. You would do better simply to leave such matters to the karma formed in your previous existences." -- Questions and Answers on Embracing the Lotus Sutra.

Nichiren teaches, Not even to seek "some measure of worldly fame and profit" but SGI teaches and acts as if worldly fame and profit is EVERYTHING. I can not denounce them enough.
