However, this term and interpretation of "Butsubachi" is not common in Buddhism as a whole as mentioned at the beginning, which was spread only by part of the schools belonging to the Hokke Sect line or believers of new religious groups, so quite a few sects deny these terms as false.
ただし、これは冒頭に述べたとおり“仏罰”は仏教全体の解釈や用語ではなく、一部の法華系宗派、あるいは新宗教教団の信徒によって広められた用語や解釈であり、これらの用語は正しいものではないと否定する宗派も少なくない。
