Nichiren on the Hinayana teachings 1

"Purna was berated for being the kind who would put filth in a precious jar." -- The Opening of the Eyes 

In the Vimalakirti Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha told Purna not to put impure things into a precious vessel when he saw him preaching the Hinayana teachings to the people. The only reason to study and familiarize oneself with the Hinayana teachings is to thoroughly refute them as did Nichiren Daishonin, Nagarjuna, and Vasubandu.
