The million plus Muslim Hajj pilgrims take care of themselves. Why not the ten thousand Gakkai pilgrims?

"I remember when I went to Tozan many times in Taisekiji, there was still the Shohondo. While the Gakkai members (group named Soka Han) were guarding us from the way to the Dai-Gohonzon, some of Shoshu's priests were dancing with Sony Walkmans near us in the temple.

The "Soka-Han" were guarding us always not to cause any accident on our way to meet the Dai-Gohonzon and on our way back home. Guarding us, chanting for us without sleep until we get home safely. The priests never did like this." -- Byakuren K
