I have been observing this rather heated conversation and am reminded of what happens across other faiths when people argue and try to convience that the other is correct.
Buddhism was created to lift people out of suffering, it was developed and nurtured so that ordinary people could look in the mirror and KNOW that they had the power to change their lives and the lives of others for the better.
You are wasting precious time arguing about this text and that letter, this gosho and that gosho.
What matters is what is in your heart.
Judge a man by his actions, not by his words. If you with your own eyes have seen evil deeds by IKEDA then judge him accordingly, but as Buddhists it is not our place to cast judgment on others.
Karmic law will create an outcome for any evil doings.
Just like the Christians and the Jews and the Muslims, everyone killing each other, fighting and arguing about who is right.
At the end of the day, we all want the same thing.
Food on our tables, love in our hearts and the safety of our family and children.
If Siddhartha Gautama, was listening to this conversation, I do believe that he would shed a tear at the level of arrogance and ignorance.
It is not our place to correct others, but to show them a path we have walked to achieve unshakable happiness.
Your life is your life, and you can choose how you live it.
If you wish to share your experiences for the good of man kind, it should be able helping others altruistically not demanding that they practice, said teaching, in the way written down in stone.
Every life is different, every life is unique.
You are missing the point of Buddhism if you continue to demand others follow the same path of you.
Namaste
