Please understand that once upon a time all of Asia was inhabited by Black people. What is known as Asian people are the result of Whites and Blacks mating. This is where the Asian man comes from. Let me relate this story. At the Nichiren Shoshu Temple in Ghana that opened in 1998 there was a Nichiren Shoshu Priest by the name of Rev. Dojo Yorshita. When you discuss matter of race with Rev. Yorshita, Rev. Yorshita came out and told me that he was an African in his past life. It was amazing how different the Priest were in America and how Rev. Yorshita was in Ghana. I believe if you shared Buddhist history with Rev. Yorshita he would have embraced the “True History.” Rev. Yorshita never paraded himself as a “know it all” master.”
"[Dai Bishamon] Vaisravanais the guardian of the north and the chief of the four guardian kings —'he who is knowing,' 'he who hears everything in the kingdom', the protectorof the state par excellence, sometimes thought to be a god of defensive warfare. In China, he is considered to be a Buddhization of the Indiangod of wealth, Kuvera, the north being considered to hold fabulous treasures.He presides over winter and is black, so is also called 'the black warrior.'His symbols are a jewel and a serpent, and he commands a large army of Yaksas." (p.242)
There are those who are upset that we have a Proud Black Buddhist Website. On the Gohonzon on the top left is the Buddhist God "Dai Bishamon Tenno." He is also called the "Black Warrior." Nichiren Daishonin put the "Black Warrior" on the Gohonzon. He is a "Proud Black Buddhist God." He is not racist just Black.
Fudo Myo 'O is a "Black God that is on the Gohonzon. We are proud to know that Nichiren Daishonin Placed Black Gods on the Gohonzon.
