仏法の中には仏いましめて云く、法華経のかたきを見て世をはばかり恐れて申さずば、釈迦仏の御敵いかなる智人・善人なりとも必ず無間地獄に堕つべし。
Turning to Buddhist literature, we find that the Buddha has warned that, if a person sees an enemy of the Lotus Sutra but fails to speak out against him because of fear of the world, then he is a foe of Shakyamuni Buddha. No matter how wise or good he may be, he will assuredly fall into the hell of incessant suffering.
In his teachings, the Buddha gives us the following admonishment:
If one is fearful and hesitant to propagate [the Law] when encountering an enemy of the Lotus Sutra, then this person is an enemy of Shakyamuni Buddha. No matter how wise or good one may be, it is certain that such an individual will fall into the hell of incessant suffering.
