The EXACT same thing is that they compromise the teachings in order "to protect" their believers [members]. What SGI and the Senior Priests have ended up doing is destroying both the teachings and their members. "Protecting" the members from persecution has hindered them from developing the heart of a lion.
"Foolish men are likely to forget the promises they have made when the crucial moment comes. Some of them feel pity for their wives and children and grieve at the thought of parting from them in this life. In countless births throughout many long kalpas they have had wives and children but parted from them in every existence. They have done so unwillingly and not because of their desire to pursue the way of the Buddha. Since they must part with them in any case, they should remain faithful to their belief in the Lotus Sutra and make their way to Eagle Peak, so that they may lead their wives and children there as well."
