When they hear the true teachings they cover their eyes and ears.

"If the questioner says that in the end, good and evil are inseparable, incorrect and correct are one, and asks why you insist upon making distinctions of good and evil when such distinctions go against the basic intent of the doctrine set forth in the Lotus Sutra:

Reply by asking whether T’ien-t’ai’s appearance in the world was for the purpose of putting an end to evil, or for the purpose of encouraging evil.

Ask where, in the twenty-eight chapters of the Lotus Sutra, there is any passage that exhorts one to do evil deeds." -Dialogues for Quick Victory

"The teachings of the Tendai Lotus school use these doctrinal classifications to reveal the original intentions of the various Buddhas. If one is ignorant of these doctrinal classifications and yet tries to discuss the teachings of the Lotus Sutra, then [as the Great Teacher Dengyō has said] “Though one praises the Lotus Sutra, one on the contrary kills its very heart,” that is, one destroys the intent of the Lotus." - Questions and Answers on the Various Schools

Here Nichiren is talking about Tientai's Five Periods and Eight Teachings. Since 95+ % of SGI have no clue of the significance of the Five Periods and Eight Teachings when they discuss the teachings they destroy the intent of the Lotus Sutra.

"No one can escape death once born as a human being, so why do you not practice in preparation for the next life? When I observe what people are doing, I realize that, although they profess faith in the Lotus Sutra and clasp its scrolls, they act against the intent of the sutra and are thereby doomed to the evil paths. To illustrate, a person has five internal organs,1 but should even one of them become diseased, it will infect all the others, and eventually the person will die. The Great Teacher Dengyō states that though they praise the Lotus Sutra they destroy its heart.2 He means that, even if people embrace, read, and praise the Lotus Sutra, if they betray its intent, they will be destroying not only Shakyamuni Buddha but all the Buddhas in the ten directions. " - Letter to Nikke

SGI Mentor/disciple is to betray the intent of the Sutra.

The Tendai Lotus school is known as the Buddha-founded school, having been established by Shakyamuni Buddha himself. The True Word school p.868was the invention of ordinary persons, and its scholars and teachers of later times were the ones who began to use the term school to describe themselves. However, they ascribed the founding of their school to the Thus Come One Mahāvairochana and Bodhisattva Maitreya. Nevertheless, only the single school devoted to the Lotus Sutra conforms to the true intent of Shakyamuni Buddha." - Letter to Shomitsu-bo

Please note since our school was founded by Shakyamuni Buddha that is one reason why Nichiren revered him. SGI ignores Shakyamuni Buddha thus depreciating him. Very slanderous.

Nichiren Daishonin considered Tientai's organization of sutras crucial because it enables people to focus on what is profound in Buddhist doctrine and to avoid the error of embracing partial truths derived from lesser teachings.

"As for the time of its propagation, the Lotus Sutra spreads during the latter age, when the Buddha’s Law is about to perish. As for what capacity of persons it is suited to, it can save even those who commit the five cardinal sins, or who slander the correct teaching. Therefore, you must be guided by the intent of [the Lotus Sutra, which is] the immediate attainment of enlightenment, and never give yourself up to the mistaken views that stem from doubts or attachments."- Questions and Answers on Embracimg the Lotus Sutra.

SGI and their Sensei teaches that attachments are good, Black is white and white is black in SGI because they chant Nam Myoho renge kyo instead of Namu Myoho renge kyo and disregard their father, Shakyamuni Buddha.

"However, there is a difference if one chants the daimoku while acting against the intent of this sutra." - Fourteen Slanders

SGI goes against the Sutra in so many ways: Money collecting activities; interfaith activities; mentor disciple; wrong Three Treasures and Three Great Secret Laws; wromg Gohonzon; slander of others who chant Namu Myoho renge kyo; lame study of the novel, the Human Rsvolution; not to mention;

(1) arrogance, (2) negligence (regarding study), (3) wrong views of the self, (4) shallow understanding, (5) attachment to earthly desires, (6) not understanding, (7) not believing, (8) scowling with knitted brows, (9) harboring doubts, (10) slandering, (11) despising, (12) hating, (13) envying, and (14) bearing grudges.’”

"The power of karmic rewards extends to all of the Ten Worlds, even to the realm of Buddhahood. Even though one might go around killing people throughout the provinces of Japan and China, if one does not commit any of the five cardinal sins or does not slander the Law, one will not fall into the hell of incessant suffering. Yet one must go through other evil paths for a period of numerous years. Even if one observes ten thousand precepts and performs ten thousand good deeds, if one does so with a mind only half intent, one cannot be reborn in any heaven of the world of form. To be born a king in the Brahmā heaven of that world, one must add the spirit of compassion to one’s karma that is laden with outflows and draws one to the world of humanity. The poor woman in the sutra passage was reborn in the Brahmā heaven because of her concern for her child. Her case is different from the nature of causality that is commonly known. Chang-an offers two interpretations of it, but in the end it is nothing other than the loving kindness with which the woman cares for her child that makes the difference. Her concern concentrates on one thing just like the Buddhist practice of concentration. She thinks of nothing but her child, which is similar to Buddhist compassion. That must be why, although she created no other causes to bring it about, she was reborn in the Brahmā heaven." - The Opening of the Eyes

SGI members all have minds half intent on goodness, failing to take the teachings of Nichiren to heart and unwilling to ponder ALL of his teachings while taking to heart the teachings of Daisaku Ikeda rather than Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin. When they hear the true teachings they cover their eyes and ears.
