My recent responses tin ordero several independent SGI newbie practitioners of Nichiren Lotus Sutra Buddhism to dispel the slanders directed towards me by Mediocre Monk
"You are in good company! I read your post and several others. That is why I contacted you. In many ways you are a kindred spirit. Be well."
"I'm Mark. I also concentrate on and emphasize Myo. Have you tried to employ the forceful practices? Personally, I will listen to lectures from anyone but will not practice with the sects, be they provisional or Lotus Sutra based. I have an affinity with the Jumonryu (old Kempon Hokke) and Fuju Fuse sects. I consider Soka Gakkai, Nichiren Shoshu, and Nichiren Shu to be enemies of the Lotus Sutra. Aloha to you too and a Bronx cheer to the Soka Gakkai."
"I'd love to see where you live and where you enjoy your walks. I will check out the video."
Please see my blog: I have a faith and practice based on the scriptures, the Lotus Sutra and AUTHENTICATED writings of Nichiren. Chanting Namu Myoho renge kyo (not Nam Myoho renge kyo) to a copy of a Nichiren Inscribed Gohonzon is my joy of joys.
"My argument is that the perfect teachings are perfect over past, present, and future. How could anyone come to understand or gain merit from the Lotus Sutra and teachings of Nichiren, failing to practice as they teach?
Anyway, please continue to chant Namu Myoho renge kyo, no matter what."
Hi! What an interesting life. Leaving the world a better place is the noble way to live. I am a family practitioner and pain management physician because all the other doctors in this rural community are afraid to prescribe opiates. I also practice addiction medicine. Methamphetamines are a scourge of rural America.
As far as White Cheese, I think we have bigger fish to fry, Soka Gakkai, Nichiren Shoshu, etc. I no longer waste much time with White Cheese except to read her analysis of the Soka Gakkai Cult. I skip any slander of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren. I can relate to a small extent what Nichiren went through, the whole damn Shogunate was against him, crazy killers, all the established sects, and he was betrayed by many of his own disciples. I don't know if you know Jerry "Shinkei" Marcheso? Anyway, the stupid idiot returned to the Nichiren Shoshu. He couldn't overcome having a wife, a 40+ year Nichiren Shoshu member, and a rare illness. Besides he was arrogant, claiming that if one can not study the Gosho in the original Chinese and Japanese, one could never understand the teachings or attain Enlightenment. He is a weak man.
Anyway, I'm glad you are doing well. We can be good cop (shoju) and bad cop (shakubuku). I'm sure you have a lot to say (offer). Talk to you soon.
Namu Myoho renge kyo
"You are a wonderful writer. You can be my ghost writer :-). Unfortunately, I can't pay you as much as Soka Gakkai for ghost writing for Ikeda. I'm kidding of course. Anything you write, please sign, as Lady Nichinyo. As long as they see my blog and not my face, we'll be fine. My wife says I'm ruggedly handsome. Her vision is not great. Yesterday she told me, you are my prince. Are you working? Are you fluent in French? Is your husband alive? You may have mentioned it but I forgot."
"First let me thank you for your letter. I do not doubt even one word of your missive. That stupid "priest" went back to Nichiren Shoshu. He is ill with multiple endocrine neoplasia and his wife is a Japanese NST member. There is an old Kempon Hokke directive from the 1400s that states: "If the husband is of another faith and the wife of ours, never expel him from the community. But if the husband is ours and the wife an outsider, wait three years [for her to convert] before expelling them both." Jerry expelled himself from our community.
Sorry to hear about your son in-law. He will pull through. Will chant for him. What is his name?
There are many independents out there, Bodhisattvas of the Earth. For example, Anthony Elmore. I don't agree with everything he says but, as you know, Nichiren teaches, if their faults are minor, overlook them.
Thanks for contacting me. I would love to hear the details of your experience.
I was thrown off SGIwhistleblowers for defending the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren...to be expected. "We will be banished again and again". Have you seen my Independent blog? Hope you are well and have a long life to protect the teachings.
