A passage from Nichiren's Letter to Niike:
"Neither
Buddhas nor gods would ever accept contributions from those who slander
the correct teaching. Then how can we human beings accept them? The
deity of Kasuga Shrine proclaimed through an oracle that he would accept
nothing from those with impure hearts, though he should have to eat the
flames of burning copper; that he would refuse toset foot in their
homes, though he should have to sit on red-hot copper. He would rather
come down to a miserable hut with weeds choking the passageway, or to a
poor thatched house. He declared that he would never visit persons
lacking in faith, even if they hung sacred festoons for a thousand days
to welcome him, but that he would go to a house where the people have a
mind of faith, even though they might be in mourning for a parent.
Lamenting that slanderers have overrun this country, thebenevolent gods
have abandoned it and ascended to heaven. “Those with impure hearts”
means those who refuse to embrace the Lotus Sutra, as is stated in the
fifth volume of the sutra. If the gods themselves regard alms from
slanderers as more abominable than the flames of burning copper, how
could we human beings possibly accept them? If someone were to kill our
parents and then try to offer us some gift, could we possibly accept it?
Not even wise persons or sages can avoid the hell of incessant
suffering if they accept offerings from slanderers. Nor should you
associate with slanderers, for if you do, you will share the same guilt
as they. This you should fear above all."
