		The conflict surfaced about a year ago when Soka Gakkai leader Daisaku Ikeda criticised what he called the luxurious lifestyles of priests at Taisekiji Temple, Nichiren Shoshu's chief temple at the foot of Mount Fuji, and their authoritarian attitude towards the lay organisation.
		Originally the intent of the Soka Gakkai was to propagate Nichiren doctrine to the world, but they have become rotten.' By requiring Soka Gakkai members to arrange pilgrimages through local temples rather than the Soka Gakkai association, the Nichiren priests hope to separate sincere believers in their doctrine from Ikeda loyalists.
		The motive was, apparently, to intimidate the priests in the temple where about 100 families had severed ties with the Soka Gakkai.

		Taisekiji Temple preserves the so-called "Two-Transfer Documents." According to the Dictionary of Buddhist Terms and Concepts, published by Nichiren Shôshû International Center in 1983, these documents are: 1.
		It is interesting to see that Nichidô (1283-1341), the fourth Chief Priest of Taisekiji Temple, clearly states in his Nikkô Shônin Goden Sôan (The Biography of Nikkô) that Nikkô stayed at Minobu for three years, not for six years.
		Therefore, Taisekiji had no objection to keeping the document although the place of the Kaidan was assigned to Nishiyama Hommonji, and not to Taisekiji.

		The result was that the Gakkaiin (SG adherents) became members of local temples in name only; monks no longer were able to control doctrinal development of SG, their task being limited to Gojukai and, in Japan, funeral rituals.

		However, members are still denied the opportunity of undertaking pilgrimages to Taisekiji, even though the Great Temple was built thanks to their donations.

		Nikkyo was originally a priest at Juhonji in Kyoto (a precursor of Yoboji Temple), but he moved to Taisekiji and became the disciple of Nichiu, the ninth high priest of Taisekiji.

		Likewise, the Head Temple, Taisekiji, is the highest temple among all the temples of Nichiren Shoshu.
		Therefore, when we Nichiren Shoshu priests and believers make a pilgrimage to the Head Temple, Taisekiji, we humbly use the word “Tozan,” which means, “to climb to the head temple.” The word “Tozan” is not used to mean a visit to a local temple.
		The Head Temple, Taisekiji, is the foremost sacred place in the entire world, where the Dai-Gohonzon, the ultimate source of the attainment of Buddhahood for all humanity, is enshrined, and where the High Priest, who possesses the life blood conferred to only one person since the Daishonin, dwells.
