One of the letters that Nichiren Shonin wrote says,
"I have realized that I am the rebirth of Jogyo Bodhisattva"
(Show; teihon Nichiren, p. 1720). "
There are many questions concerning the authenticity of many of the letters attributed to Nichiren.
Especially when the letter does not meet the teaching of a specific Nichiren Sect.
Some say Nichiren is the Buddha.
Some say many things.
The passage quoted above is from a letter that exists in Nichiren's own hand.
