Daily Justice
The true nature of the Nichiren Shoshu is evident when we examine their tenets, which essentially boil down to the following three points: 1) the authority of priesthood, 2) the authority of high priest and 3) the authority of rituals. That is all. There is no substantial teaching there. Because many human beings, however, still hold to an authoritarian view of religion, they can still succumb to these ideas.
It is up to us whether we can further expand, at this time of worldwide kosen-rufu, the spirit of the Lotus Sutra that all people can attain Buddhahood, that all people can reveal themselves as Bodhisattvas of the Earth. The issue with the priesthood represents the most important juncture at which we can either advance or retreat.
