Please read my 2001 Tozan report. Many Black people were upset with me and Alan Billups because we took so much liberty. Many of the members were upset with me for talking about "the inclusion of Black history and Culture." What you get from this report is an indept and personal view of dealing with Buddhism and practicing from the Japanese. The Black members wer furious with me because I had a website and I did no ask the Priest permission. The late T. Murray informed me that his Nichiren Shoshu priest warned him about associating with me. Rev. Takahashi and a New York leader challenged me regarding my Website. I explained that I was no Japanese and I have "Freedom of Religion."

Anthony "Amp" Elmore in the above images why he would never visit the Nichiren Shoshu head Temple again. The Buddha Shakyamuni wrote "Put Faith in the law and not in Persons." Elmore documented how members looked at Priest as "Gods" who were infallable. Members rose up against Elmore who expressed his thoughts about Buddhism. Elmore who was fighting for the inculsion of Black history, culture and language was ostracized by the Nichiren Shoshu Priest and its Members.
