The evilest religion in Japan's Buddhism: Nichiren Sect (Essay)

Nichiren

Soka Gakkai, the parent body of Komei Pary, a partner of the Liberal Democratic Party that dominates Japan's current politics, was a group of believers of the Nichiren Shoshu sect but was excommunicated by the Nichiren Shoshu sect. I once befriended a Soka Gakkai member and received an introductory book on the doctrine. However, there was one point that was difficult to understand.

As well known, Nichiren said the Buddhist scripture ``Lotus Sutra'' is superior to any other sutra, and the Nichiren sect views it as absolute. Especially, ``Buddha's real desire for born into this world.'' I heard that the true reason why Buddha appeared in this world is explained in detail in the Lotus Sutra. As I read excitedly, it wrote, ``We don't understand.'' This kind of expression is called fraud. They kept pulling for this answer. Well, anyone not a Buddha cannot understand the Buddha's mind. In that case, it would be far more suitable to say that when the Zen Dharma Master was asked, ``Why did you come from India?'' he answered with only two letters, ``不識：I don't know.'' It's not unnecessarily long.

Furthermore, Nichiren was the one who took this ambiguous Lotus Sutra as absolute and rejected other sutras and the various schools of Buddhism that took them as their fundamental sutras. To begin with, the Lotus Sutra is a forgery created several centuries after the death of Buddha. There is nothing different from other sutras that Nichiren criticizes. This is Mahayana Buddhism’s junk that has nothing to do with Buddha. In later generations, Nichiren's successors devoted themselves to slandering and slandering other sects, calling it ``shakubuku (conversion by force)'' and committing violence. The Nichiren sect is the evilest sect of Buddhism in Japan.

日本の仏教髄一の邪教：日蓮宗（エッセイ）

日本の現在の政治を支配する自民党のパートナー：公明党の母体である創価学会は、日蓮宗の一派：日蓮正宗の信徒集団だったが、日蓮正宗に破門された。私は以前、その創価学会員と仲良くなり、教理の入門書をもらった。だが、そこには、理解に苦しむ一点があった。

仏典「法華経」が他のどんな経典よりも優越していて、それを絶対視する日蓮宗が挙げる根拠についてだ。「仏陀の出世の本懐」。仏陀がこの世に現れた真の理由が「法華経」で詳述されていると言う。わくわくしながら読んでいくと、「解らない」の一言で終わっていた。こういう表現を詐欺と言う。延々と引っ張ってきて、この答え。仏陀でない人には、仏陀の心は解るまい。それなら禅のダルマ大師が「インドから来た理由は？」と問われ「不識：知らぬ」と２文字だけ答えたというほうがずっと気が利いている。

さらにこのようなあやふやな「法華経」を絶対のものとして、他の経典と、それらを根本経典とする仏教諸派を排斥したのが日蓮だった。そもそも「法華経」は、仏陀の死後数世紀経って作られた偽作だ。日蓮が批判する他の経典と、何ら変わるところはない。仏陀とは無関係な大乗仏教のガラクタだ。後世、日蓮の後継者たちは他の宗派の誹謗・中傷に明け暮れ、「折伏」と称して暴力を振るった。日蓮宗は、日本の仏教随一の邪教だ。
