ある外国人から、下記のような、日蓮宗と創価学会の記述が不適切だとの指摘を受け、変更しました。 日蓮宗のページを更新しました

Hi !!

I am a follower of Nichiren Daishonins Buddhism and a member of Soka Gakkai(a militant laymen's league ?) and I was just looking at your homepage... I do understand that SGI has a trivial history in your country and also a lot of dubious rumors and tabloid headlines about it. Since your homepage is about religion in Japan I think it's a bit one sided and you obviously have a strong opinion on this matter. For example:

" According to Nichiren Buddhism, we have no ability to attain Buddhahood, because we are inherently evil and sinful and all good we are capable of doing is only to satisfy our selfish desire. "

Is a completely false statement. "You ,yourself are a true Buddha enlightened with the three properties, with this conviction you should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo." Sounds a lot more like Nichiren. And actually Nichiren never said that we are inherenrently evil and sinful but "perfect and endowed with the buddha nature." It seem to me that you haven't done your homework. I'm not really trying to change your opinion on Sokagakkai but I can promise you it's not half as bad as you think it is. But what I don't think is right is the way you portray the Buddhism of Nichiren Daishonin. It is a truly wonderful philosophy and I would expect it to be described in a more dignified manner on a homepage about religion in Japan. Please don't give out statements that you know nothing about...
Best regards
