The sixth volumn of the Lotus Sutra reads: “No worldly affairs of life or work are ever contrary to the true reality,” he revealed their meaning and pointed out that although the first two sutras are profound, since their meaning is still shallow and fails to approach that of the Lotus Sutra, they relate secular matters in terms of Buddhism, whereas the Lotus Sutra explains that in the end secular matters are the entirety of Buddhism."

Please understand that "Shakymuni Buddha" in the Lotus Sutra dealt with everyday life. When it comes to Buddhist teachings if you really want to see the true nature of many Asian, White and Black Buddhist all you have to do is ask about the "True History of Buddhism."  Let me be clear: Japanese do not teach a clear view of Buddhism.  The Japanese bring into Buddhism "RACISM."  What you learn in history is the sanitized version of Buddhism that is pretty.
If you tell many of the people on the SGI picture who are smiling about the true history of Buddhism they would frown quick. In the above picture is Nichiren Shoshu Priest Rev. Murata. I asked this man about the Black Buddha this dude got pissed off.  The spirit was so bad that I do not like this man.  This Priest and other Priest showed their racist face.

In the hood there is a joke about believing your "Lying Eyes."  This is the way Japanese deal with Black people in America.  They bring to the table a Buddhism that is disingenuous.  The Priest hide behind their Priestly Robes and act as if they are "Buddhist Authorities."  They are authorities on Japanese Culture but many of them are not well learned when it comes to "the true history of Buddhism."

Imagine this, the oldest and largest indoor Buddhist Statue is in the ancient Capital City of Japan.  This stature and temple is a part of the Japanese "Historic Registry."  This large Buddha is known to everyone in Japan.  How can you believe  that Japanese leaders who teach Buddhism in America do not know about this "Historical Fact." What you will find from the Japanese is "Racism Regarding " this issue.

This Buddhist Statue is the largest indoor statue of Buddha in the world.  This statue is located in the ancient Capital of Japan in the City of Nara.  All ancient images of the Buddha is in the Image of an African.  The Buddhist were Naga or Black people of Ancient India and Egypt.  In my experience the Japanese will not discuss this issue.  In Buddhist teachings in America most people have no idea about the Naga people in Ancient Buddhism.  We have in America a culture of ignorance in Buddhism.  In my 30 years of dealing with this issue Japanese will look you in the eye and tell a lie about the Buddha.  We African/American youth in Memphis studied this subject early in Buddhism.  When the Japanese Buddhist leaders came to Memphis, Tennessee they came with a culture of arrogance and ignorance.  They teach a form of Buddhism that inherently makes Japanese dominate.
