 | | For example, some started to worship images of Sakyamuni Buddha or to identify themselves as priests of the Tendai school. | | | On October 8, 1282, Nikkō was one of six senior priests whom Nichiren designated to carry on his faith after his passing. | | | As the priest whom Nichiren had selected to be his sole successor as high priest, Nikkō decided it was time to leave. |

| | On October 8, 1282, Nikko was designated by Nichiren as one of the principal disciples (later known as the six elders) to carry on his faith. | | | The claim was rejected by the other five disciples, and Nichiren Buddhism split into the branches stemming from Nikko and the sects, most amalgamated in today's Nichiren Shu, stemming from the other five disciples. | | | Nikko became Nichiren's disciple sometime between 1258 and 1260—the precise date is unknown. |

| | Priests marry and have families [although celibacy is the traditional practice of Buddhist priests, as is indicated in Article 25] and there is no serious study of any kind. | | | The current high priest set up a family tombstone in the cemetery of a Zen temple, even conducting a ceremony to consecrate it there, and then left the temple grounds without refuting the mistaken views of the Zen priests, only to go on to a banquet. | | | Nikko Shonin admonishes that priests must not wear ornate robes, but should be simple in their attire. |

| | An Overview of the Priesthood Issue |
| | In letters to the Soka Gakkai, the priests state that by asserting the equality of the priesthood and laity in terms of faith, the Soka Gakkai is 'seeking to destroy the Three Treasures of Buddhism.' The Three Treasures of Buddhism are the treasures of the Law, the Buddha and the Priest. | | | Promoting the unprecedented erroneous teaching that the high priest is the true Buddha, while Nichiren Daishonin is a provisional Buddha. | | | Although the roles of high priest, priest and laity differ in terms of their specific mission to protect the Three Treasures, both priesthood and laity are equal and can be regarded as part of the Treasure of the Priest, under Nikko Shonin, the primary Treasure of the Priest. |

| | Nikko Shonin wrote of this transmission as follows when he transferred the Daishonin's Buddhism to Third High Priest Nichimoku Shonin: I, Nikko, transfer to Nichimoku the Dai-Gohonzon of the second year of Ko'an which was transferred to me. It should be enshrined at the Temple of the Essential Teachings. | | | This means that the High Priests are the ones who have the "capacity to teach." Those who "are taught" are their disciples, we priests and lay believers. | | | Sixty-sixth High Priest Nittatsu Shonin explained: The Taisekiji school is the denomination which received its transmission from the Daishonin, so the followers of this school must be sufficiently versed in the Gosho. |

| | Priests would make the rounds --- from the Hondo (Main Temple) to the Miei-do (Image Temple) to the place designated for revering the heavenly deities, to the lodging quarters, etc. --- reciting the sutra and chanting daimoku at each location. | | | Nittatsu also suggested that prayers for the deceased were offered at the priests' lodgings, and that this formed the basis for today's five-prayer format of Gongyo. | | | According to 66th High Priest Nittatsu, the practice of making the rounds among the various temples to perform Gongyo was discontinued at that time and instead came to be carried out in the form of five recitations of the sutra in the Reception Hall (Kyakuden). |

| | Priests who bestow the precepts on practitioners serve merely as messengers to convey the Buddhist precepts or teachings on behalf of the Buddha. | | | Priests of the Nikken sect, who are themselves bereft of the spirit contained in the Buddhist precepts, are not qualified to bestow the precepts upon anyone. | | | Nikko Shonin meant this as an admonition to each high priest that he is transcribing the Gohonzon on the Daishonin’s behalf, not his own. |

| | In essence, the Daishonin’s Buddhism is “Religion for the people,” but these offshoot sects lost this spirit, and became the “Religion for the priests.” Accordingly, they all lost the spirit of Kosen-rufu, which is the essential tenet of Rissho Ankoku Ron and the WILL of Nichiren Daishonin. | | | Thus, priests gained absolute power - life and death of the believers were controlled by a temple and the priest. | | | Several priests had refused to receive support from Tokugawa Shogunate (because Tokugawa’s family religion was Pure-Land sect), they were eventually exiled. |

We know that Nikko Shonin was the closest disciple of Nichiren Daishonin, and one who inherited the very spirit of the True Buddha. |

| | Up until 1991, the SGI respected and supported the high priest based on one essential assumption: that the office of high priest is vested with the responsibility to protect the integrity of the Daishonin's Buddhism and the believers who are sincerely working to spread it widely. | | | The SGI followed the teachings of the Daishonin and Nikko Shonin before 1991 in its support of the high priest and pilgrimage, because that equated to protecting the Daishonin's Buddhism and its wide spread. | | | The priesthood's attempt to subordinate faith in the Gohonzon to obedience to the high priest -- thereby obscuring the essential teaching of the Daishonin's Buddhism -- clearly amounts to slander of the Law. |
