Past this I rightly recognize all phenomenon equally as my teacher and honor all who have been part of the propagation of the lotus in my life. This includes you. I did my due negligence in understanding the various positions of the schools and lay organizations including yours. Of course everyone has their own way of disseminating these teachings which is the point of daimoku doing the real work as the teacher.
Using both Shakyamuni and Nichiren as my benchmark none were able to display a mastery over the lotus that they could teach it as is. The key statement that measures these teachings as I posited to you before. Needless to say you never answered.
If the arguments to compel the schools into unity through shakabuku fall flat in regards to emulating what Nichiren accomplished in his lifetime by what claim can anyone say they truly represent his teachings with the same verity?
If one can't avoid and overcome the biggest obstacles of the practice such as disunity among lotus adherents then there is fundamental lack in the process. Repeating it like a poison drum won't make the poison work any faster and doubting it will work is doubting the lotus which is the other complete measure upon which sectarian shakabuku fails from scriptural and empirical perspectives.

My teacher teaches Nichiren as true buddha. I honor that teaching as I do the others. My connection and understanding of Shakyamuni did not diminish because my teachers focus or because of his teaching. His appreciation for my benefit from understanding as thus was tangible.“But stop, Shariputra, I will say no more. Why? Because what the buddhas have achieved is the rarest and most difficult-to-understand Law. The true aspect of all phenomena can only be understood and shared between buddhas. This reality consists of the appearance, nature, entity, power, influence, internal cause, relation, latent effect, manifest effect, and their consistency from beginning to end.”
The assumption that a written teaching will only be interpreted literally by all minds that encounter it lacks congruence with the four standards (why would Nichiren suggest the impossible or wrong view on interpretation). It also doubts the poison drum relationship with the Lotus. After this amount of time if function has not destroyed these schools from within why attack them from without.
There is a far greater commonality that exist with all of this difference that accords with what he taught. Commonality that can be the basis for fulfilling the teachings as both Nichiren and Shakyamuni taught. This is the most important detail.

Re: I don't always agree with Rev. Tsuchiya, in fact he excommunicated me...
I've been censored (or an incomplete "submit") so i will clean it up. There are innumerable meanings to the one Law. Likewise, there are a myriad reasons why people forsake the practice and why there is disunity among those who chant the Daimoku. Not an insignificant reason is the behavior of the priests and leaders. One sects' members, leaders, and/or priests, literally hates the next and visa versa. Talk about doubt in the minds of many followers! "How can Daimoku be so great when there is such hatred and discord among those who chant the Daimoku?" This is still another cause. thankfully, not to the point of cutting off the heads of those who "blaspheme" but cutting off their spiritual heads which Nichiren teaches is worse.tkp67 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 3:13 amYou are doubting the 600000 bonds with Nichiren and shakyamuni because only 40000 practice as if they shouldn't have practiced at all.illarraza wrote: ↑Mon Oct 26, 2020 2:58 amAm I a hunter who spies sharply?tkp67 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 25, 2020 10:26 pm Mark,

Regarding unity, Nichiren teaches, "Even an individual at cross purposes with himself is certain to end in failure." Nichiren teaches that two differing thoughts, for example, the thoughts of hatred and thoughts of kosen Rufu, will lead to personal and collective failure. Such angry behavior among the adherents is another major cause of losing faith in the Daimoku, as well as disunity. I'm not mad at you. I hate to be blunt but there are bigger fish to fry than tkp67. I am angry with the leaders and priests of the various sects, those with thousands or millions of followers who should know better. I hope that I speak from the palace of the Ninth consciousness, from the anger of Buddha or the anger of Bodhisattva. It hurts me to see one stop chanting the Daimoku as the many. It hurts me to see the world and people suffer.

But if it is in the gongyo book and you are praying to a different Buddha , thats a biggy....a big no no ...i would not say that prayer.
maybe redact it out of your personal gongyo book.
Re: I don't always agree with Rev. Tsuchiya, in fact he excommunicated me...
is that towards Ikeda...a lot of his stuff is helpful...he has the ability or his team to really support a steady practice...No question about it...they do have a support system people only dream of.
as for what you said ...thats worrisome...like is he changing more of the history...
maybe one day SGI will adopt what Mark is trying to express...they do that ...unity is on the horizon..
SGI has the power to really make this a world wide issue...reform totally...get rid of all the unauthenticated stuff...admit mistakes brought about by the obscure sect of shoshu...get real...and man ...other sects would have to follow...
SGI does this reform and holds out It's hand to other sects for reform and "WE ALL" are back on the road to kosen rufu..
The sheer power of SGI...they have it you know...people always are ready for an admittance of wrongdoing and always respect this sort of thing.
Think of it man...a place where we can actually know the real deal finally...
sorry but i see too much fake news and want the real deal...it's hard man...how many times did i get a slap in the face....when it came to understanding this Buddhism...it's not our fault...we trusted...and then got burned...
anyway...it all has to eventually come out in the wash...
Re: I don't always agree with Rev. Tsuchiya, in fact he excommunicated me...
The "True Buddha" business has been associated with the Fuji schools for hundreds of years now, its hardly an SGI innovation. I don't buy it personally, so generally I skip that prayer and instead offer one to all the teachers in all the schools. Whatever- far as I'm concerned its not a big deal.
If SGI adopted Illaraza's methods and language I would return my gohonzon and walk away from Nichiren practice entirely.

Folks, keep it above the belt or this gets locked. If specific ideas of doctrine are being debated, that's fine - but don't antagonize each other.
There is no suffering to be severed. Ignorance and klesas are indivisible from bodhi. There is no cause of suffering to be abandoned. Since extremes and the false are the Middle and genuine, there is no path to be practiced. Samsara is nirvana. No severance achieved. No suffering nor its cause. No path, no end. There is no transcendent realm; there is only the one true aspect. There is nothing separate from the true aspect.

If you truly want to speak from the 9th conscious you have to have an intimate understanding of the hearts and minds you effect. You have to see their function end to end while in mutual possession of your own. To compassionately help others mutually possess the realms of their own mind. This is what both Nichiren and Shakyamuni possessed in their lifetimes. The samadhis discussed in the writings are a barometer to what Shakyamuni's capacities.
Thus the four standards.
I do feel as if once you make an issue known on your blog it stands as a point of reference and does not need to be actively pursued for the subject to be addressed.
You have amazing capacity and commitment and could only imagine if the constant shakabuku of other nichiren buddhists was put aside how powerful your propagation would be.
