Conclusion... According to SGI, "repaying debt of gratitude to the mentor is the prime point of the six chapters of the Lotus Sutra", chapters 23 - 28 (particularly Chapter 23 the Medicine King Chapter).
Nichiren's teaching on repaying debts of gratitude is found in his major writing, On Repaying Debts of Gratitude. Ironically, he taught that acting contrary to the mistaken master (mentor), the slanderer Dozen-bo, is the best way we can repay our debt of gratitude.
Likewise, the Soka Gakkai members can best repay their gratitude to their slanderous mentor by practicing with the same faith as Nichiren and with great reverence for Shakyamuni Buddha.
