Gosho 日興遺誡置文 The Last Religious Precepts of Nikko 3

一、謗法(ほうぼう)を呵(か)責(しゃく)せずして遊戯(ゆげ)雑談(ぞうだん)の化(け)儀(ぎ)並びに外書(げしょ)歌道(かどう)を好むべからざる事。

5. You must not spend time for a play and an idle talk, not take to a non-Buddhist writing and an art without criticizing against slandering Law of Buddha.

一、檀那(だんな)の社参(しゃざん)物詣(ものもうで)を禁ず可(べ)し、

6. You must forbid Shinto shrine worship and visit of the believers.

何(いか)に況(いわ)んや其(そ)の器(うつわ)にして一見と称して謗法(ほうぼう)を致(いた)せる悪鬼(あっき)乱入の寺社に詣(もう)づべけんや、

Why they visit the Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine of the evil spirit intrusion, disobeying Buddha's teachings for a glance with a low talent?

返す返すも口惜(くちお)しき次第(しだい)なり。

It is never enough to be chagrined.

是(これ)全く己(こ)義(ぎ)に非(あら)ず、経文(きょうもん)御(ご)抄(しょう)等に任(まか)す云云。

This is not doctrine of me totally but depends on text of a sutra or writing of Daishonin and so on.
