Ten Negative Actions
When all the people turn their backs on Nan Myo Ho Ren Ge Kyo, and begin to neglect it, their beards, hair, and nails grow untidy, and their clothing becomes sloppy.
As ten negative actions increase, the heart of filial piety is totally gone, and seeing one’s parents is like a hunter seeing a deer.
People’s vitality declines, their lifespan and physical strength decline. They are no longer able to enjoy their lives.
The reason why people’s hearts are falling apart is because the leaders of the country disobey the correct laws, and pagan priests are blocking the path to enlightenment for the people. As a result, Shoten Zenjin are leaving the country.
