"And when the two characters for namu are prefixed to Myoho-renge-kyo, or the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law, we have the formula Namu-myoho-renge-kyo." Please note that SGI's faulty translation states, "we have the formula Nam-myoho-renge kyo". Since we know that Nichiren never, not once, wrote Nam-myoho-renge-kyo. we can conclude that SGI's tranlsation of the Opening of the Eyes is faulty and deceptive. So too is their chanting of Nam Myoho renge kyo. Even were we to give them some credit for chanting the truncated Daimoku, Nichiren teaches, it is correct faith which is most important and their faith is even more incorrect than their pronunciation of the Mystic Law. Is it any wonder that there is an association of incorrect faith with an incorrect pronunciation of the Daimoku? I think it is a direct correlation.
consistency from beginning to end.
