That is rich. Most amusing.

"But in their hearts they wield a sword of distorted views, hastening here and there among their patrons and filling them with countless lies so as to keep them away from other priests or nuns." -- Nichiren

The Nichiren Shoshu priests caught in yet another lie

 It still took days of traveling for the Daishonin and the group with

> Him to arrive at the Ikegami residence in Musashi Province traveling

> slowly with Him by horseback or in a horse drawn cart due to His

> critically ill condition.  They arrived there at Ikegami on Sept 19th,

> 1282 where He wrote a report of His trip to send to Hakiri Sanenaga in

> Minobu, dated on that same date.  In the report, He related that He

> still planned to return to Mt Minobu from "taking the waters in

> Hitachi."  But, at the bottom of the letter, He apologized that because

> He was ill, He was unable to even sign it with His own signature.  Due

> to the long distance between Mt Minobu and the Ikegami residence

> (located on the outskirts of Edo, present-day Tokyo)  and the time it

> would have taken anyone to travel from there to Mt Minobu and back, and

> the closeness of the Daishonin's imminent death, there was not enough

> time left to transport the Dai-Gohonzon there even if He had wanted It

> brought to Him.  So, with all of the ability & (Jap.) ichinen that He

> had left in Him at that point, He inscribed what was His last Gohonzon 
> which was placed at His bedside that became His deathbed where

> He died on Oct 13th, 1282.  End of story.

They forgot one reference, The Fairy Tale of The Devil King. Now thats a good one, Nichiren Daishonin was too weak to sign his document but not too weak to write a postscript and inscribe a signed Gohonzon. That is rich. Most amusing.
