Excerpts of High Priest Nikken's Lectures in Shinyo Magazine issue 20...
"The Dai-mandala, the true object of worship, is in the depths of the Lotus Sutra in the Chapter of the Treasure Tower."
Even the lowly HBS priests and reverends know that the Gohonzon was revealed in the Eight Chapters of the Lotus Sutra from the fifteenth to the twenty-second chapters and especially in the sixteenth chapter. At best, in the 11th Chapter, the Gohonzon is apprehended like the first light of the sun before rising from behind the horizon. Having made such a fundamental error, my question is, why follow anyone other than Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin, least of all the Nichiren Shoshu High Priest and Daisaku Ikeda?
