A truly wise man will not be carried away by any of the eight winds:
prosperity, decline, disgrace, honor, praise, censure, suffering and
pleasure. He is neither elated by prosperity nor grieved by decline. The
heavenly gods will surely protect one who does not bend before the eight
winds.

Nichiren was actually referring to the fart gods. What he meant was
that if you don't bend over to fart, that you'll be protected from
messing your pants.

As far as YOU farting, what he was referring to was "pleasure" but I guess
you're too stupid to realize that.

Duhhh, do you mean that if I find pleasure in farting, that I'll sh.t my
pants? What kind of dumb religion is it that that would deprive a poor
boy like me the pleasure of farting? I'd apologize for my lack of
intelligence, but I can't help it if I'm stupid.

Lovely.

Soooo, let's see, you didn't understand the S&M joke and you don't
understand the Eight Winds. Why am I not surprised?
