SGI asserts, "The understanding of SGI and the greatness of Sensei can only be shared among Buddhas."

Then, those self-serving university functionaries, dictators, and sleazy politicians who laud SGI and Ikeda [to the tune of hundreds of honors and awards] are Buddhas while those who criticize SGI and Ikeda, no matter how humble, honest, and learned, are deluded common mortals.
