Nichiren was in the Tendai School where many monks practiced. Kukia (Kobo Dashi) was at the same school where many monks shared, examined, translated many sutras and doctrines; and many forms of Buddhism grew from that and Nichiren was one of them.

Everyone in their sect has a leader that has been made out to be like a god by the people and nation. It becomes a cultural identity.

We see this in every Buddhist sect and religion. We must get over it. Nichiren was a Bodhisattva, not a Buddha yet like you and I with faults. And so he would I am positive be so thankful if we could see the problematic issues with the ancient doctrine that came before him.

It was virtually impossible for him to see such a thing as Sanskirtization ciphering problems. He had no internet or world news to know these things, where we can just search in a moment.

So to say our knowledge can not be more expansive is just wrong on so many levels.

The two Bodhisattva Jyogyo, and Jogyo is what I believe will help us find many answers.
