Nichiren on Law-devouring hungry spirits

"Law-devouring hungry spirits are people who renounce the world and spread Buddhism. They think that if they preach the Law people will respect them, and because of their ambition for fame and profit, they spend their entire present lifetime striving to be thought of as better than others. They neither help other human beings nor have a mind to save their parents. Such people are called Law-devouring hungry spirits, or hungry spirits who use the Buddhist teachings to satisfy their own desires."

"hungry spirits who use the Buddhist teachings to satisfy their own desires."... to witness such Law-devouring hungry spirits in action, attend an SGI discussion meeting.
