Nichiren says, "to the best of your ability"... for laymen. The forceful practices are relegated primarily to the priests and those predisposed to break and subdue polemics. SGI has it all wrong. They perform the gentle practices with the slanderers of the Law, the provisional Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, and Hindus while performing the forceful practices with the members of the orthodox sects and even their own members. They are shameful indeed. Nichiren also teaches that those predisposed to the gentle practices alone, people like Katie Higgins, should support those who perform the forceful practices but instead, she attacks Greg and I who also perform the gentle practices. She too is shameful and I will not allow here her slander of the votaries who practice as the Lotus/Nirvana Sutras and Nichiren teach.
