"...And then on the basis of these idiocies they proceed to rage at persons who declare that the moon and gold are superior to stars and stones, who say that the east is the east and the sky is the sky. Are we to go along with such persons simply because they are numerous? Are they not merely a great gathering of idiots? How sad it is to think that all the useless men and women who base themselves upon delusions of this kind are destined to fall into hell."
Today, the great gathering of idiots are those who revere Daisaku Ikeda and their supporters.
hmmm i'm reading gosho after gosho praising those who chant the daimoku; gratitude for all living beings--- seeing these remarks makes me wonder if any of the big sgi trashers here meditate on the the law, myoho renge kyo, or do they chant with their mouths as their minds wander to their personal biases, desires and warped perceptions? in other words, where are their hearts *for others*? where is any proof that theirs is the path of a bodhisattva? they all look like the arrogant ones who think they have attained superiority over others. that's some nasty karma to be sure.
ReplyDeletewait! myoho renge kyo IS the lotus sutra-- the whole lotus sutra, what the hell? this is pure inanity-- . wanna talk to some engaged, productive, striving and succeeding practitioners of myoho renge kyo? sgi is overflowing with good citizens, good neighbors and educated folks who care about the ills in our society and WORK to make a difference.
ReplyDeleteall mark does is preach-- and tweet and pretend he is being persecuted for it and therefore is just like nichiren, be independent and engage in society, or practice with others in sgi- follow mark and you'll end up as twisted and irrelevant as he is!
