Nichiren Shoshu's use of "Teachings Hidden in the Depths" [Montei] is false and self serving.

Nichiren Shoshu has changed the principle of Hidden in the Depths [Montei] in order to change Nichiren's doctrines of Buddha and Transmission. According to Nichiren, the Three Great Secret Laws are "hidden" in the Lotus Sutra but thanks to Nichiren, according to Nichiren himself, "Now everything has been revealed." The Nichiren Shoshu have extrapolated Montei to mean the teachings hidden in the depths of Nichiren's writings. There is no reference to this principle. Their use of "Teachings Hidden in the Depths" is false and self serving. Nichiren Shoshu's use of "Teachings Hidden in the Depths" [Montei] is false and self serving. 

Nichiren would never purposefully create doctrines to confuse his disciples. 

As long as one follows the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren's authentic doctrines, there is no such thing as, "I [we] get this Buddhism, you don't." This is asserted, not only by Soka Gakkai leaders but by Nichiren Shoshu and Nichiren Shu priests. I suggest you give alms directly to the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren by donating to your time and money to them.
