"To speak slanderously of the sutras preached in the past, the present, and the future, and to praise one sutra, the Lotus, is the golden instruction of Shakyamuni Buddha, and is what all the other Buddhas have expressed in agreement." - Nichiren
Believing that there might be a Sutra more wonderful than the Lotus Sutra to be preached in the future, is to slander the Lotus Sutra. The Soka Gakkai comes to mind with their "Human Revolution being the Lotus Sutra of the present age".
How could I slander a sutra preached in the future if it has not been preached yet? Wow..
