Me:
"The only organized Nichiren group for which I have great respect is the Nipponzan Myohoji and their modern priest (deceased) leader, Nichidatsu Fuji and the disorganized priests and laymen of the independent movement who endeaver to have the same faith and practice as Nichiren"
Noel:
Well then how do you feel about Craig the Administrator of Stand Together Nichiren Buddhists who is a devoted member of Nipponzan Myohoji who thinks karmic retribution, rebirth etc are BS.He outrightly said that Nichiren is not his teacher but the present Nipponzan leader who approved of him using the LGBT flag to represent the 564 member that are on that site. He and his associates changed their facebook picture regardless what anyone else thought So thoughtless and selfish. Do you see that he endeavers to have the same faith and practice as Nichiren?
Do you feel the millions of Nichiren Buddhist's that chant Namu Myoho Renge Kyo study the Lotus Sutra from the teachers that aren't focused on Nichiren are true Votaries of thre Lotus Sutra?
Me:
Obviuosly NO!
Thanks for the heads up. I didn't know that about him nor the Nipponzon Myohoji, only their beautiful across country walks. Never read most of Craig's posts. He criticized me for my forceful practices and admonishment of the provisional Buddhists, SGI and the like, so I rarely go there. I'd be interested in what there priests who have taken a "vow of poverty and celibacy) believe about Nichiren. Thanks for the heads up. Will stop my approval of their sect. Thanks again.

Again, NO!
I should have studied more the facebook groups and the Nipponzan sect.
Will correct the one or two places on my blog that praises them. Thanks AGAIN and AGAIN.
