Question, answer, and response

SGI leader Jamie Lee Silver, self-styled expert on Nichiren's teachings, answers her reader's question and my response.

Question: 2. Do I Have to Change Religions to Chant?

Answer: No. You can keep practicing whatever religion brings you joy. Just remember that when you chant to the Gohonzon that it is NOT a GOD. The Gohonzon is your own life, so don't beg when you chant. When you chant to the Gohonzon you are declaring what you want.

Response: Nichiren states, "Faith is first and foremost". Nichiren Lotus Sutra Buddhism is an exclusive faith and practice. Follow Jamie or those like her and you will fall into the lower worlds of existence as sure as an arrow aimed at the earth can not miss the target.
