As a soka gakkai member, I would say that using "esoteric cosmology" to describe what was taught by Tien Tai is wrong. the concept of three thousand worlds in a single life moment is not an esoteric world that exists somewhere apart from us - it's what could even be called a psychological explanation for states of daily life of a living being. So I think it's inaccurate to describe it in such a short way - it's really easy to misinterpret something like that. Shouldn't there be instead some more in depth writing in this page of some of the other doctrines taught by Tien Tai?
