Someone wrote:

 In the “Senji Sho”, Nichiren Shonin writes about three predications that he made:

"Kono mittsu no daiji wa Nichiren ga moshitaru niwa arazu.

Tada hitoeni Shaka Nyorai no mitamashii waga mi ni ire kawase keru niya."

The above translates as:

"The three (great) things I stated hitherto were not spoken by me.

Shakyamuni Nyorai’s spirit entered into myself and let me speak so."

The Major Works, v.3, p.172 (NSIC) translates it:

"Yet it was not I, Nichiren, who made these three important pronouncements.

Rather it was in all cases the spirit of Shakyamuni Buddha that had entered into my body."

This is a close rendition, but the footnote that follows is ridiculous.

It reiterates that Nichikan, the 26th high priest, says:

“that what is really meant is Nichiren is the True Buddha.”

How could anyone get that from the original text? Nichikan was writing in the 18th century........can his opinions be valid? Especially when such an opinion cannot be found in Nichiren’s writing?

How else to read Nichiren’s own words, but exactly as he wrote them.

There is no such wording in the original text as Nichikan interprets it. If Taisekiji twists this, it twists everything else that Nichiren wrote. The sad fact is that Taisekiji-ites do not believe Nichiren, they put faith in the footnotes of Nichikan, even when the text is right in front of their eyes.
