Thus all the people have become cowards

"They will be like a monkey terrified by a dog, or a frog cowering before a snake. This is solely because it is a country that, by allowing the votary of the Lotus Sutra, who is an emissary of Shakyamuni Buddha, to be hated by all the priests of the True Word, Nembutsu, Precepts, and other schools, has harmed itself and incurred the particular wrath of the heavenly gods. Thus all its people have become cowards. They are like fire fearful of water, a tree dreading the ax, a pheasant frightened out of its wits at the sight of a hawk, or a mouse threatened by a cat. Not one of them will be saved..."

  2. salvation only through the odaimoku.
    Nichiren was the one and only emissary of the Buddha. above passage may not even be authenticated, but all the same, sure cannot be applied to this unhinged blogger.

  3. "Anonymous" itself is proof of cowardice. Your obsession with me and my blog is obvious. No inference of above passage to me but to the Japanese people who remain cowards for allowing abdication of Artiocle 9 of the Japanese constitution and failure to speak up about Fukushima. Not only are they cowards but stupid. Do you believe the Japanese people have lessened their karmic retribution for persecuting Nichiren, even after 740 years?
