Question on Liturgy of SGI instead of NB?
Answer :
Doctrinally, ND is the buddha who invocated the daimoku and established gohonzon as part of the 3 great secret law. However as far as the practice of liturgy (gongyo) is concerned, it is a practice adopted by the SGI, which is the only legitimate org who truly inherited the spirit of ND to prop the mystic law based on our daily practice of doing gongyo n daimoku for happiness of oneself n others. On the contrary, the NS had clearly deviated from the spirit of ND whose legacy is the propagation of the mystic law for happiness of humankind
Hence it is only appropriate for SGI to adopt the practice to recite the LS and chanting the daimoku as the legitimate practice in this new era. Simply put, this revised gongyo format is no longer the constitition of the NS presently who no longer is the legitimate org carrying out the vow of ND.
Btw, pls take note while ND established the chanting of daimoku and recitation of LS, the gongyo practice was later instituted by NS and precisely they have become so decadent since the 1990s, the SGI as the legitimate org transmitting the spirit of ND, has the responsibility to revise the gongyo format as part of the SGI constitution.
Hence in principle the doctrine of Nichiren Buddhism has been only preserved but upheld by the SGI.
