Nichiren's and our teacher is superior to Soka Gakkai's Sensei

"It is thanks to OUR teacher that we can know who our parents are; it is owing to Shakyamuni Buddha that we can distinguish black from white." -- Nichiren Daishonin praising his mentor, Shakyamuni Buddha.

Shakyamuni Buddha of the Juryo Chapter has been mentor since the infinite past and Nichiren is mentor for the Latter Day. Daisaku Ikeda is a Johnny come lately mentor who should be rebuked because he leads his disciples into the Lower Worlds. Nichiren leads his disciples to the Four Noble Worlds.
