Unknown: Hello Rejicho. So good to see you again. How is Sensei's health?
Rejicho Straus: Sensei is marvelous...truly marvelous. Three weeks ago, when I was in Japan, I heard how vigorous he was and in robust health and Kaneko too. How can I help you?
Unknown: Do you know Mark Rogue?
Rejicho: Can't say that I do.
Unknown: He is that wackadoodle who has a Nichiren Lotus Sutra Buddhism blog. He is also anti-Soka Gakkai...
Rejicho: and...you have been talking to him..?
Unknown: Yes. I challenged him to a debate.
Rejicho: How many followers does he have?
Unknown: He has 73 followers.
Rejicho: That's all?
Unknown: Yes.
Rejicho: Don't dirty your hands. It is a lose lose situation. Even if you win, he gains status debating a top senior leader and if you lose, it will be even worse.
Unknown: I remember what Sensei said about those with an aversion to debate. I also remember what Nichiren said about debating an emperor or a demon to prove the righteousness of True Buddhism.
Rejicho: that was then and this is now. Do NOT debate him!
Unknown: HAI
