The hearts of the people are the same today

"The hearts of the people are like those of birds and beasts; they recognize neither sovereign, teacher, nor parent. Even less do they distinguish between correct and incorrect in Buddhism, or good and evil in their teachers. But I will say no more of these things."

    1. but then??? Of course Nichiren encouraged and taught devotion to Myoho renge kyo and to Shakyamuni Buddha of the Juryo Chapter of the Lotus Sutra. The SGI and Nichiren Shoshu have forgotten the latter.

  4. The hearts of the majority of people are in fact like birds or beasts and that is why the world finds itself in the state it's in.
