"The Great Teacher Nan-yueh in his Shi Anrakugyo states, ‘If there should be a bodhisattva who protects evil persons and fails to chastise them... then when his life comes to an end, he will fall into hell along with those evil persons. '"The meaning of this passage is that, if a practicioner of Buddhism should fail to chastise evil persons who slander the Law but give himself up entirely to meditation and contemplation, not attempting to distinguish between correct or incorrect doctrines, provisional or true teachings, but rather pretending to be a model of compassion, then such a person will fall into the evil paths along with the other doers of evil. Now a person who fails to correct Shingon, Nembutsu, Zen and Ritsu adherents who are slanderers of the Law and instead pretends to be a model of compassion will meet just such a fate as this."
"And so to unbelieving persons, rouse them to accept this Law. By so doing, young men of good family, you will acquit your debt to the Tathagatas." -- Lotus Sutra, Chapter 27, page 440, translated by Kern
"They are like the icchantikas who do not hear, do not believe, and cannot discriminate." --Great Nirvana Sutra: T.12.724c7 = T. 12.481 b27-28)

ReplyDeletethis is just another example of your making egregious accusations, authoritarian judgements and a totally hideous condemnation. pretending you have attained....what? my reading of the gosho says this ain't why we practice/chant/have faith in daimoku. shame on you.
why is it that sgi cult members are so ignorant about nichirens experience and what he had to say about it? the heart is not in the right place.
Delete“ Get off the throne and promote the daimoku practice.” !!!
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!
