The 26 Articles of Nikko are a seeming parodox. In one article, Nikko teaches that those who claim Gosho (writings of Nichiren) are forged are evil and in another article he teaches that those who forge Gosho are parasites. This is a paradox paradox easily resolved: One who criticizes false Gosho is upholding the Dharma while one who cites false Gosho is a parasite. It is equally true that one who criticizes authentic Gosho is evil and one who cites authentic Gosho is a disciple of Nichiren Daishonin.
