"We who have the same mind as Nichiren have no need for priests" - SGI leader

Nichiren states that what is required is a good teacher "PRIEST", "good teaching", and "good believer". Shinkei  Marcheso, a true  disciple and Nichiren priest teaches that the SGI leader's assertion above is  "self satisfied understanding" and is one of the 14 slanders. This belief will not result in Enlightenment.
