池田大作、麻薬マネーロンダリング

（はじめに）

「別の民族の韓国のカルト指導者、池田大作は麻薬取引に彼の信奉者のお金を投資しています。 今彼のお金は、マネーロンダリングのためにブラジルとニューヨークで保持されます。 牧師月、彼はあまりにも、そうすることができます。」

　上記のことを誰もが口を閉ざしてきた。原島嵩氏、山崎正友氏、矢野絢也氏、竜年光氏、誰も語らなかった。本当に知らなかったのかもしれない。これは池田大作、金庫番と言われた中西氏、他数名しか知らなかった可能性は高い。

　池田大作、麻薬マネーロンダリングによって、創価学会は非常に潤沢な資金を得てきた。世界中に多くの古城を購入し、池田大作一家の別荘としている。このことを日本人は知らない。創価学会の強いマスコミ言論統制があるからだ。

　創価学会員にはあまりに素朴な人が多い。余りに素朴である故に池田大作の傲慢さに気付かない。私は同時放送で一発で彼の本性を見抜いた。それを見抜けない素朴な創価学会員が哀れでならない。

　心は声と顔に表れる。これを仏法では色心不二と言う。創価学会員が日常的に口にする色心不二を創価学会員が気付いていなかった。

　創価学会が同時放送を始めたのは２０年ほど前のことであろうか？　同時放送は池田大作の醜い姿と本性を一般会員に知らしめることになった。同時放送の開始とともに創価学会の衰退は加速を極めた。理性的判断の出来る特に男性会員は創価学会から自然と離れていった。同時放送は池田大作、創価学会の自殺行為であった。池田大作の自己顕示欲に由来する致命的な大失敗と言えるだろう。そして残ったのは理性的判断の鈍い女性会員と天然記念物的お人好しの会員のみであった。

　池田大作は雲の上の人間であらねばならなかった。本当の姿を一般会員に顕すことは自殺行為であった。しかし、池田大作の自己顕示欲は良識的判断を凌駕した。

　三船小仏は今、死の床にあります。酸素ボンベで呼吸しながらパソコンに向かって書いています。もちろん、ethernet の線は抜いています。一日のうち、パソコンに向かえる時間は限られています。一日、一時間もありません。後はベットの上で死んだように寝ています。

　肺の大部分を癌が占め、もはや手術不可能であります。化学物質、放射線による治療は拒否しています。ここまで進むと、化学物質、放射線による治療は苦しむだけであり、無効であることを知っているからです。延命処置は文書で拒否しています。

　寝ながら富士大石寺の大御本尊に祈るのみです。声を発することも困難です。座って題目を唱えることも困難です。座れるときはSoka Gakkai in drug money launderingを暴くためのホームページを造ることの方が良いと判断しています。富士大石寺の大御本尊に向かっての題目は寝ながら心の中で唱えています。

　今は３日ぶりにパソコンに向かっています。もう、パソコンに向かえないとも思いましたが、今日は調子が良いです。

　慕わしきモデブーことモデブー大仏、三船小仏の暗い人世の最終章に於いて、モデブーことモデブー大仏のような優しい女性に出会えた三船小仏は幸せでした。白馬さんは白菜さんというのが正しいようですね。三船小仏の悲しい人世に於いて最後に白菜さんのような若い美しい女性と出会えたことは三船小仏には幸せでした。

　白菜さんに再び書きますが、創価学会、池田大作の最大の犠牲者は創価学会員です。悲しい人世を辿った創価学会員を数限りなく見てきました。三船小仏もそのうちの一人になるでしょう。

　創価学会はたしかに社会に迷惑を掛けてきました。社会に害毒を流し続けてきました。しかし、２００万人に及ぶ創価学会員の悲惨さは目を覆いたくなることが多いです。とくに熱心に純粋に信仰している人に限って不幸に襲われてきました。悲惨な不幸に襲われなかったのは適当に信仰してきた要領の良い人達です。熱心に純粋に信仰していた人の多くが悲惨な不幸に見舞われたり、精神障害など病気に罹患して苦しんでいます。

　これは池田大作が創価学会に雪崩れ込ませた悪鬼の大集団に依るとしか説明のしようがありません。ストレスや過労などではとても説明ができません。

　三船小仏はSoka Gakkai in drug money launderingを言い始めてからの猛烈な脅迫メールに苦しみました。それらの脅迫メールからもSoka Gakkai in drug money launderingが真実であることが分かりました。三船小仏はそれら脅迫メールにもの凄く苦しみました。また、それ故に、肺癌になったのかも知れません。

　創価学会はこれが知れるともの凄く痛いからです。

　三船小仏はもう死んでも良いのです。死ぬ気で書いています。

　今、創価学会が必死に日蓮正宗を攻撃していますが、創価学会の教義はほとんど日蓮正宗そのままであることを知らないのでしょうか？　少なくとも若い創価学会員はこのことを知らないようです。一部を適当に変えているだけです。理解に苦しみます。創価学会の多くの家庭には日蓮正宗の教学の本が多く存在していることが普通です。確かに創価学会は新しい教義を造ろうと藻掻いていますが、藻掻いているだけです。出鱈目の教義を造ろうと藻掻いています。創価学会が新しい教義を造れるはずがありません。

　Soka Gakkai in drug money launderingのホームページは完成しないうちに終わってしまうでしょう。もうパソコンに向かえる体力があまり残っていないです。今、酸素ボンベをしながら、必死で向かっていますけど、今日だけ、調子が良いのかも知れません。

　インターネットをSoka Gakkai in drug money launderingで検索すると多くが引っ掛かってくる。

Soka Gakkai’s Cocaine Business

By Mr. Toshimitsu Ryu, January 1st, 1995

Soka Gakkai was investing the honest money from their followers in cocaine smuggling business. The profit was given to the leaders of Japanese LDP or Liberal Democratic Party. The fact was perceived by CIA. The US government intimidates Japanese government with the information as Japan’s weak point. That gave US a big advantage in diplomatic negotiations with Japan. As a result, Japan was compelled to take policies that benefit the US even if they are against Japan’s national interest.

Dr. Yoshihiro Tsurumi, a professor of the University of New York City, says amazing story in his book titled “America Goroshino Cho-Hasso” (published in 1994 by Tokuma Shoten) He is a director of the Institute of Pacific Economy and well known as a researcher in the field of international management. The following is from 206 page of his book.

Quote:

Triangle of three men, Ichiro Ozawa, Daisaku Ikeda and Noriega

A report criticizing Ozawa, distributed from Washington D.C. to all over the US, refers to a fact that cannot be disregarded.

The report discloses a fact that Daisaku Ikeda, who has a bad reputation even among his followers such as making counterfeit mandala and so forth, and Ichiro Ozawa, who helps Ikeda to become a Nobel Prize winner in peace for gaining in reputation as a pacifist, are scheming to take over Japan with the combination of religion and politics. It asserts Ichiro Ozawa is an unwelcome person because his alliance with Daisaku Ikeda.

To tell the truth, the article reminded me one thing. Going back to the past when President senior Bush was making puppets of Kanamaru and Ozawa, I had a question which could not be explained with a carrot-and-stick policy.

Then I asked an American who was close to CIA. The person told me a story about a line, Ozawa, Ikeda and Panama’s dictator General Noriega.

When former President Bush senior was a director of CIA, Noriega supported him as his agent and got involved in an operation throwing Prime Minister of Cuba Castro and anti-government groups in the Middle America such as of Nicaragua, into confusion.

In return, Noriega was allowed to do a crime smuggling cocaine from Columbia to the US even using airplanes of CIA.

Therefore, Noriega became overconfident that he would be able to control the Bush senior’s US because he knew the weak point of the director of CIA, Bush senior.

However, Bush senior was clever enough to make a surprise attack against Noriega in 1989 just after he became a President of the US. Noriega was captured and brought to Florida to have a secret trial. In the trial he was found guilty and was put into a special jail.

In his confession, there was a story regarding Japan. It was that Daisaku Ikeda was investing followers’ honest fund in cocaine business cooperating with Noriega. From the benefit, Ikeda gave enormous amount of money to Ozawa of Japanese LDP continuously.

Bush senior obtained the evidence and used it as a stick to control Kanamaru and Ozawa. Of course the US ambassador to Japan, Michael H. Armacost was a key-person who also used the stick.

An Asian diplomat also told me the story as “Ozawa’s Panama Connection” well known to other Asian, Pan-Pacific countries. Japan seems the only one who does not know the fact.

Unquote:

Members of Soka Gakkai have blind faith in Daisaku Ikeda’s words, “Kosen-Rufu costs high.” And they are swindled lots of their money saved for their old age or even all of their property. However, the very honest money was given from Ikeda to the King of Drug Noriega to misuse for cocaine business and became a fund for world’s drug crimes. Members of Soka Gakkai must not know about it.

At that time, Ikeda was very proud of the relationship with Noriega and constructed a nice garden called Noriega Garden in the sacred land of Fuji.

Besides, the commission from the cocaine business was given to Ichiro Ozawa and Shin Kanamaru and former President of the US George Bush senior controlled Japan through ambassador to Japan Armacost.

Followers were swindled their honest money out, caused world-wide drug crimes and eventually Ikeda sold Japan to the US with the dirty cocaine money

I don’t know why Japanese media keep silent about this. They may have lost their sense by Ikeda’s devilish　money power.

Anyway, Noriega is under sentence of 100 years in prison. On the other hand, Ikeda is aiming to take the rein of the government weighing Shinshinto Party against LDP or Liberal Democratic Party. (in 1995)

Can you be indifferent about this? Ikeda has committed far greater crimes than Noriega. He has to be put in jail for the rest of his life.

I talked to a lot of people suffering from anxiety in the course of my healing, I noticed that isolation was a common theme, and I was no stranger to that. I can see why chanting would feed into this. I'm very grateful that I had people that were pushing me to get back out into life. There seemed to be a lot of anxious people in SGI and my SGI "mentor" would tell me stories about these various members of the group that I was in and their various conditions -- this one has depression, that one has anxiety -- and they had been in SGI for years. I said, wow, that's amazing. If they've been chanting all this time why haven't they gotten better? Her answer: They're doing it wrong. They don't attend enough meetings and they're not chanting with determination to overcome their fundamental darkness.

Kitty, good points. I think that isolation, anxiety, and/or some kind of loss got a lot of us into SGI, and similar groups. When you first start to go to the meetings, the members will love-bomb you (classic cult behavior), which can be VERY appealing if you are at all lonely. The chanting can take the edge off of the anxiety, and hearing "experiences" can make you feel more optimistic about resolving your loss or problem. This is all very appealing bait, and it's all too easy to see the bait, but not the hook underneath it.

Your leader's answer is classic SGI-speak. If you do solve a problem, or something good happens to you, then it's all due to chanting and SGI. If you can't solve the problem, or something bad happens, then you haven't chanted with enough determination or done enough work for SGI, and you need to do more. Well, if you are human, both good and bad things happen all the time. So for the devout SGI members, the answer is constantly increasing your chanting and efforts for SGI. You are never doing enough; you ALWAYS need to do more, more, more, whether your life is going well or badly!

This mindset is like getting sucked into a whirlpool. It just pulls in someone like my former friend. When I knew her, she usually chanted over two hours a day, and she was attending meetings, or planning them, several times a week. Occasionally, something good would happen to her, or she'd feel good, briefly. Then, she'd feel that she'd gotten a benefit. Which meant that she should be grateful to SGI and do even more for them. If she felt bad, or had a bad day at work, or something else bad happened to her -- she felt that it was because her faith and determination weren't strong enough. Then, she'd resolve to chant more and work harder for SGI. This is such a vicious cycle! You get to the point where you're doing little but SGI stuff, and this is what happened to her.

All she has now in her life is SGI, chanting, her job and her family. She used to cry to me that she wanted more friends, a relationship, more of a social life. Yet her SGI activities simply never left her the time for that. People would invite her out, and she never could go because she'd always have some SGI commitment. Naturally, people are going to quit inviting, if the answer's always no. By now, her friends are all hardcore SGI members. She's cut out anyone who could show her a different perspective. Even if she did start to question SGI at some point -- leaving would mean losing almost every friend she's got. Her family pretty much knows that they can't question her devotion to SGI, or she won't see them.

That could have been me. I'm grateful that I never entirely lost the desire to question. I'm also very thankful to sites like this one. Reading and writing about this helps so much.

Gekkan Pen Scandal

In 1976, Japanese monthly magazine, the Gekkan Pen exposed Ikeda's sexual relations with six Gakkai women. One of the six, Tokiko Tada ( top leader of the Women's Division ), appeared in the article. The scandal was revealed with big headlines. Ikeda and the Soka Gakkai filed a libel suit against the Gekkan Pen. The Gekkan Pen was found guilty because the truth of the article was considered to not have had sufficient evidences. However the penalty was much llighter than was sought, because Ikeda's behavior warranted suspicion of his sexual relations with those women. Strangely, despite that Ikeda and the Soka Gakkai were plaintiffs, Soka Gakkai gave the Gekkan Pen 20 million yen. On the sixth of November 1976, Ikeda was so anxious over the Gekkan Pen scandal that he gave an order to the members of the Komei Party in the Kansai Culture Center. He said, " If I am ordered to appear in court, I will eliminate the Komei Party as a sacrifice. I will not forgive Watanabe and Yano, if they did it half way. I will kick them out." The whole train of events posed questions about how Ikeda and the Soka Gakkai used religious contributions and the the meaning of the Komei Party's existence.

Dummy Votes Incident

In the election of the House of Councilors in 1968, an organic crime was committed by the Soka Gakkai. Believe it or not, massive amount of votes, as many as 100,000, disappeared in Shinjuku Ward Tokyo. Eight Soka Gakkai top leaders of the Student Division, Yoshinori Kitabayashi, Takashi Miyamoto, Akio Sunagawa, and others were found guilty in this case.

Interference in the freedom of speech Incident

This was an incident that emerged at the year-end of 1969. The Soka Gakkai put pressure on indivisuals and publishers that posed questions about the substance of the Soka Gakkai, in order to hush its crimes up, with every method, including money, the mobilization of politicians, strong-armed men men related to right wing organizations. Also its members systematically made threatening phone calls to the critics of the Soka Gakkai.

The main publications which were the target of Soka Gakkai were "Soka Gakkai o Kiru ( I Denounce the Soka Gakkai ) ", "Komeitono Sugao ( The Naked Face of the Komei Party ) ", "Korega Soka Gakkaida ( This is the Soka Gakkai ) ", "Soka Gakkai Komeitono Hametsu ( The Destruction of the Soka Gakkai & the Komei Party ) ", "Soka Gakkai Komeitono Kaimei ( Analysis of the Soka Gakkai & the Komei Party ) ", and " Soka Gakkai ". Despite that a man of religion must reply to the criticism with words fairly, the Soka Gakkai always reponds with political power, financial power, and violent, destructive power. Those methods fully proves the Soka Gakkai's true nature.

ミフネさん質問へ。医師はクランケの病気しか診ない（ストイックにならないとやってらんないのかな？）、でも一人の患者には家族がいる。ワーカーはそこで壁に出くわす。お年寄りは病気に対する知識が無く又病院を基地○病院とゆう偏見から子の病を改善しようと出来ない。ある引きこもりの子がやっと病院に来た。（一年以上引きこもり20代後半おそらく、もっと以前に発症していたが親に知識が無かった）障害者年金を受給しようとしてもできなかった、私は社会保険事務所に行き、掛け合うが１４ヶ月の無年金がわかった。通常初めて病院に来てカルテに記入し発症が決まります。残念ながら患者は受給できませんでした。家も訪問し小さなボロボロのアパートで家具も余りなく、やせ細ったお爺さんだけでした。私はこの様な悲惨を沢山見てきました。しかし宗教者の役目として、この様な闇の中に入る人に光をと思ってます。知ってる神父さんは以前に年越しに命の電話のボランティアしたそうです。又ホームレスの自立の為に奔走したり、今も私達の教会では被災地にボランティアに行ってる人もいます。いつまでも貴方自身の心の確執に捕われず、組織がどうの、あの人がどうたら、そんなの世でかってに人間がグダグタやってるだけです。患者一人一人に必づ苦悩の家族もいます。病気だけでなく。人を見て欲しいです。

キリスト教の教会の牧師さんはそういうボランチィアを積極的にしています。創価学会員はしないです。

創価学会だったらすぐに市会議員が動いて生活保護にします。

公明党の市会議員は一人暮らしでないと生活保護になれないことを知っていますからアパートをちゃんと用意しています。

そこのアパートの大家さんはもちろん創価学会員です。

精神障害の患者さんはそういう例が非常に多いですが、親と一緒に生活していたら生活保護は受けられないと公明党の市会議員が動きます。

公明党の市会議員の仕事の大半は生活保護の斡旋だと法華講に移った元公明党市会議員さんが言っていました。

今はそのことよりも「Soka Gakkai in drug money laundering」の研究をしています。

英語ですので少し大変ですが、創価学会員は麻薬中毒者の塗炭の苦しみの上に胡座を掻いていたのです。

これは創価学会本部の職員が池田大作の命令で行っているようです。

ノリエガ将軍と義兄弟の契りを結んだのは麻薬のマネーロンダリングに参加するための手段でありました。

ノリエガも半分知っていて騙された振りをしていたのでしょう。

「Soka Gakkai in drug money laundering」で検索したらボロボロと出て来ます。こ

れは創価学会の存続に関わることです。創価学会が日本のマスコミを握っているために日本人には隠されてきたことです。

知らなかったのは日本人だけで欧米では常識となっていることのようです。

麻薬のマネーロンダリングは１９９１年から取り締まりが厳しくなりましたが、非課税特権のある宗教団体を２つほど通すと分からなくなる、その為に使われていた宗教団体が創価学会と統一協会ということです。

麻薬の隠れたボスとして池田大作と文鮮明の写真が掲げられています。

創価学会員は麻薬中毒患者の塗炭の苦しみの上に胡座を掻いていることを恥じて早く創価学会を脱会して日蓮正宗に移るべきです。日蓮正宗は伝統のある純粋な信仰団体です。ｒｓｄ氏を使って創価学会は日蓮正宗批判を激しく行いましたが、ｒｓｄ氏も途中から反創価学会に変わりました。ｒｓｄ氏は或る創価学会副会長から依願されて宗教カテに現れたのです。ところがｒｓｄ氏は途中から創価学会批判に変わりました。「ｒｓｄ氏殺害事件」という小説を書いています。創価学会は九州のある薬科大学を財政的に支配下に収めて、研究をしていた、しているという報告があります。これはオウム真理教事件とも関わりがあると思います。ｒｓｄ氏の死には不審なところがあります。しかし、三船小仏の下には「Soka Gakkai in drug money launderingを調べるな！」という脅迫のメールが雨霰のように来ており、もうSoka Gakkai in drug money launderingのことを調べることは辞めようと思います。それが「世渡り」と思います。自分は独り身ではありません。子供がいます。子供のためにもうSoka Gakkai in drug money launderingを調べることはマシュマロ姫などに引き継いで貰おうと思います。マシュマロ姫は英語が堪能なので最適だと思います。三船小仏は英語が苦手です。それら脅迫のメールは毎日ドイツSGI最高幹部（ドイツ連邦警察公安部の内部スパイ）の下へメールで送っていますので、もうイギリス秘密警察などにも渡っていると思われます。今後はマシュマロ姫にSoka Gakkai in drug money launderingのことを調べることを引き継いで貰おうと思っています。マシュマロ姫にこの依頼の連絡を誰かに行って貰いたいです。http://sky.geocities.jp/mifune008/創価学会内部改革派三船小仏

Soka Gakkai - High possibility of North Korean

Here comes again! Soka Gakkai International. Known as the largest Buddism sect in Japan, Soka Gakkai International (SGI) has gaind its victory (it's their favorite phrase) over 190 countries. Of course the religion was born in 1937 in Japan as a normal religion, worshipping Budda. However, Some of Japanese rightists say it's a Korean religion and there's a lot of chances of takeover by Korean since after WWII. Let's see how those Japanese get to have such an idea.

For those who already read my articles about SGI, it's easy to grasp how SGI has been undermining Japan. Drug bootlegging from North Korea into Japan is one of a good examples to depict its deed. Keeping 8% of Japanese parliament seats, it exerts huge power to control Japan's politics. Of the massive power scattered in every authority, Ikeda Daisaku --the leader since 1972-- was said to be the "king of Japan", superior to the past Japanese Prime Ministers except Koizumi. The acme of him was until recent: Prime Minister Mori (2000 - 2001) hadn't been born until Mori got Ikeda's permission. Just after Mori's period started, he angered Ikeda because he made a careless comment on Japan as "a gods' country". According to Ikeda, Japan should be a Budda's country. Mori reluctantly made a correction after receiving lots of accusing by mass media which was controlled by SGI.

The code of conduct of SGI is very similar to that of evil zainichi network, and they are very confident to make it convincive about this. (Zainichi is Koean living Japan. Many of them are good, but some exceptional groups have been trained to spy on Japan.)

Soka Gakkai - the cult rules Japan

You don't know anything about Soka Gakkai? Don't worry about that because this website is for those who don't know much about Japan.

A sect of Buddism, Soka Gakkai, is referred to as Soka Gakkai International (SGI) in the world, so I'll call SGI from now on. Surprisingly, this cult has been prevailing in over 100 countries all around the world. You live in America? Oh, yes. it has even two universities in california, giving birth to a lot of believers. On the other hand, it was designated by French parliament as a cult, so the article I'm writing may have something to do with your life even outside Japan. (Recently I've heard a rumor that SGI attempted to steal nuclear weapons from France. Please give me any information on this.) By the way, I've heard that SGI was accused by France because it attempted to steal nuclear bombs from France. Let me know if you know furthermore about this.

 The weiredness of the cult can be vividly seen when you go to a town in Tokyo, Shinanomachi, where it's located several stations away from Tokyo station; it's as the center of Tokyo. As soon as you get off the train, you'd see a weired ambient with tricolored flags here and there, at the shops or electric poles. They're SGI's flags! As you walk through into the district, suddenly you'd feel you are watched by someone. You turn back, and there's someonee keeping on the track of you. He has a transceiver and doesn't even hide it. You got scared so much. And what would you do? Going to police? Well, it's not gonna work because it's called "Soka heaven" here, and of course the police is "Soka police". The above pic I borrowed from a website is a very precious; the blogger was surrounded by a couple of guys and asked what he was taking pictures for. He ran away and posted this pic. The town of SGI is THAT dangerous to snooping around.

 Here I uploaded a map of SGI's territory around the town in which oranged and grayed buildings belong to SGI. Just imagine that one whole town is occupied by a cult. It's so scaring. There are many shops recently built dealing with SGI stuff although they are not shown in the map, and of course they are run by the practitioners.  Let me explain why they are called "a cult". One aspect is that they don't allow to be critisized at all. The map I got is originally published by "Weekly Diamond", which featured SGI several years ago, but it resulted in buy-out by SGI, not letting many readers to purchase this number. Those buy-out usually is followed by a successive defamation suits against the publisher regardless the quality of the article. They are OK because they have plenty of money sucked from the earnest believers.

No matter how I insist, you're not going to believe it, aren't you? I happened to run into a video clip from Youtube, and this will convince you. It's a censorship of NHK, the only public TV company and therefore the principal channel. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Gsw3EwL98S8&search=sokagakkai Even if you don't know Japanese, you could barely hear the woman said "Komeito" and "Soka Gakkai". Komeito is a political party SGI has, and it's taboo on TV although everyone knows it. Since the constitution prohibites any reliigilus group from forming a political party, it's not allowed to even imply the relationship between two. Japan is still not a country with freedom of speech.

Gekkan Pen Scandal

♦♥♦—————♦♥♦—————♦♥♦—————♦♥♦—————♦♥♦

The Suspicion of massive amount of Tax Evasion

In March 1991, an inflated transaction for Renoir paintings by Mitsubishi Commercial Company emerged. It was confirmed that the Soka Gakkai's vice-president Yahiro and the Fuji museum ( also SG's ) were deeply involved in this scandal. An unaccounted expenditure of 1.5 biilion yen was suspected to have been misused by the Soka Gakkai as its hidden money.

In May 1991, a huge ammount in false declaration regarding the Soka Gakkai's cemetery business was pointed out by the Japanese Tax Administration Agency. The Soka Gakkai was compelled to revise their return as much as 2.4 billion yen and payed approximately 640 million yen for aditionally assessed corporation profit tax. Tax investigation into the Soka Gakkai continued.

Furthermore, in July of the same year, the fact emerged that the Soka Gakkai received compensation as much as 450 million yen for a lost in assets on investment in stocks from a Japanese securities company. The Soka Gakkai insists that this was not compensation.

Nevertheless the fact clearly proved that the Soka Gakkai had been investing follower's honest money, as much as 7 billion yen, into the stock market. The dark money raised in this way is being used for other crimes and anti-social activities.

In 1989, 175 million yen in a safe discarded at a scrap yard was discovered. The safe was proved to have belonged to Soka Gakkai. But in the press conference, the general meneger of the Soka Gakkai Mr.Nakanishi explained that the money was not the Gakkai's but his own, he claimed that he had forgot his business profit which he alleged he accumlated for twenty years.

Who on earth can believe such a stupid explanation to have forgotten 175 million yen in the basement of the Seikyo Shimbun office ? This scandal aroused more suspicion about the Soka Gakkai's money raising activities.

Former Soka finance chief indicted

Kiyoshi Hatanaka is accused of embezzling $1.7 million.

Orange County Register/December 24, 2007

By Marla Jo Fisher

The former finance director of Soka University of America has been indicted on charges he embezzled $1.7 million from the private university over the course of seven years, according to a federal indictment unsealed Friday.

Kiyoshi Hatanaka, 52, of Aliso Viejo had worked for a Big Seven accounting firm before coming to be Soka's finance director in 1990, a university spokeswoman said.

He left his job in January 2006, spokeswoman Wendy Harder said, after allegations arose that he had created sham university accounts at a Los Angeles bank, moved money into the accounts, and then cashed $10,000 checks from them.

Hatanaka could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon. His public defender, Chase Scolnick, did not immediately return calls

Hatanaka came with Soka when it moved from Calabasas to open a 103-acre hilltop campus in Aliso Viejo. The university is affiliated with the largest Buddhist sect in Japan, but attracts students from the U.S. and around the world.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lawrence Kole said evidence indicated Hatanaka gambled large sums of money during that period at casinos in Temecula and Las Vegas

Hatanaka is scheduled to be arraigned in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana on Jan. 2, and could face trial in February, Kole said. He was indicted on eight counts of embezzlement and eight counts of money laundering; each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.

Kole said the bank became suspicious of irregularities and contacted officials at Soka, which then contacted federal authorities

Soka's Harder said the bank expressed concern about transfers that were not approved by multiple people

She said the university hired a new chief financial officer in 2005, and put Hatanaka in charge of endowment accounts.

Among the overhauls created by the new financial officer was a procedure requiring multiple signatures and approvals on bank transfers, Harder said.

Hatanaka is suspected of taking interest money out of endowment accounts, then moving money around in a way that made it less likely to be detected by university auditors, Harder said. "We're working now to recover the money," Harder said. "We did recover about a million dollars of the loss through insurance."

Claims of Distortion

Ikeda said the myriad accusations deliberately distort the group's philosophy. They also ignore history: Soka Gakkai was one of the few organizations that resisted the militaristic Shinto theocracy in the dark years leading to World War II and was nearly destroyed for it. Its founder, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi, died in jail; Josei Toda, Ikeda's late, revered mentor, suffered behind bars for two years.

Jabbing a finger in the air, Ikeda declared: "We don't have the slightest intention of ever supporting a theocratic government. The Soka Gakkai organization was destroyed by state Shinto, by a form of nationalism that really did merge the political and the religious. Why in the world would we want to repeat that bitter experience?"

The group's political activity--as well as its other endeavors--stems from a belief that the spirit of religion should animate and uplift all realms of society, he said.

"If religion does nothing but pray in quiet isolation, then there is no need for it," he said, paraphrasing Mahatma Gandhi. "Unless the spirit of religion is reflected in politics, in society, unless it contributes to the world, then it is without value."

Still, Ikeda said Soka Gakkai's aims have been so misunderstood that it will begin endorsing candidates rather than specific parties after the next election, which must be held by spring, 1997.

Even so, public acceptance is likely to remain elusive.

♦♥♦—————♦♥♦—————♦♥♦—————♦♥♦—————♦♥♦

Pushy Proselytizers

Some say the antipathy stems from Soka Gakkai's history of aggressive proselytizing--a legacy of the fiery brand of Buddhism preached by Nichiren, a poor fisherman's son who founded the sect in 1253. He declared that disasters would destroy Japan unless people abandoned their evil belief in other Buddhist doctrines and recognized the Lotus Sutra as the only true teaching.

At the height of their aggression in the late 1950s, followers entered homes and threw competing Buddhist altars into the streets. Such methods have long been abandoned, but the image of pushy proselytizers still offends many Japanese, who tend to tolerate a mix of beliefs.

Religion scholar Hiroshi Shimada said many Japanese dislike the group because it reflects a history they want to escape: the feudalistic fealty of disciple to master; a clannishness that to critics reeks of a suffocating rural society.

Soka Gakkai's membership has traditionally been drawn from the poor, the ill and the dispossessed, leading to class snobbery among some critics, Shimada said.

Ikeda does not pause when asked why he is attacked so vehemently.

"Because I am antiauthority. The fundamental reason is that we haven't allowed ourselves to be co-opted by authorities and don't do as we are told.

"The Japanese national character is very muddled," he said. "You don't know what their religious beliefs are, who they follow. But for some reason, they never criticize authority."

In the 3 1/2-hour interview at his group's Soka University outside Tokyo, Ikeda was blunt, impassioned and erudite.

He spoke of Japan's spiritual hunger and political malaise, the wounds of his own childhood, French literature and American poetry, the universal message of hope that Buddhism offers.

He denied designs on being prime minister, and he confessed to holding grudges against betrayers and to a fondness for sushi and spring.

He consistently returned to the theme of the "demonic nature of authority." The topic provokes thunder in his voice and fire in his eyes, stirring painful memories of a family ripped apart by war.

Poor Beginnings

Born Jan. 2, 1928, in Tokyo, Ikeda was the fifth son in a family of 10, whom he describes as poor but happy harvesters of seaweed.

As Japan began its long slide into militarism, four of his brothers were drafted, and one was killed at the front. His brothers' absence devastated the family business and cast clouds of sorrow over his normally radiant mother.

Afflicted with tuberculosis, Ikeda was forced at age 14 to fend for the family when his father fell ill.

He recalls coughing up bloody phlegm as he labored in an ironworks factory. He recalls the terrifying secret police and the nauseating stories of cruelty toward the Chinese that his brothers brought back from the front.

His life's decisive encounter occurred when he was 19, as the benumbed Japanese began picking up the pieces of a demolished country. What he believed would be a study meeting on "life philosophy" instead was a lecture on the Lotus Sutra by Toda, who would become his touchstone.

To Ikeda, Toda was a man of unshakable convictions, "like a sheer and towering cliff," who had gone to prison defending them; he was a mathematical genius and a master at explaining ancient Buddhist doctrine in logical, modern terms.

"He was completely open, frank and unaffected," Ikeda said. "I intuitively knew this was someone I could put my trust in."

A year later, in 1949, Ikeda began working for Toda's publishing company, and the two became inseparable. Toda taught him more than Buddhism: Every morning, he instructed Ikeda--whose education was cut off by war--in economics, law, political science, astronomy, chemistry, the Chinese classics and organizational theory.

As a result, Ikeda's breadth of knowledge dazzles scholars such as Balitzer. "He has read every book I teach, and he knows them better than most educators," he said. "He is not a cult leader. Cult leaders don't read Plato."

Ikeda married, and he has two sons. A poet, photographer and author of about 150 publications, he was named Soka Gakkai president in 1960 and resigned in 1979. Today, he is honorary president.

He receives both a Soka salary similar to those of other top officers in the group and royalties from some of his publications.

His followers say he lives modestly compared with presidents of major Japanese corporations. He occupies a small 1941 wooden house; he is, however, chauffeured in a Mercedes-Benz and stays in expensive suites when traveling, though defenders say both these seeming luxuries are fitting for him when he meets security- and status-conscious world leaders.

Meanwhile, Toda's influence still permeates Ikeda's core; Soka Gakkai President Einosuke Akiya said Ikeda still invokes his mentor's name every day.

"Josei Toda wanted me to understand his own life and experience and to realize we really have no choice but to fight against persecution and authoritarianism," Ikeda recalled.

That task is pressing in Japan, which "sanitized and glorified" a horrible war and is still caught in a spiritual bondage created by centuries of feudalism, Ikeda said.

But his critics say Ikeda is a religious tyrant, intolerant of dissent.

The struggle between the priests and Soka Gakkai has been largely portrayed by the secular press as a clash for money and power, but it raises questions about the nature of faith itself.

Nichiren priests preach a fundamentalist vision, stressing the importance of objects such as sacred scrolls and the authority of the clergy. If the clergy are not obeyed and doctrine not followed, worshipers will "fall into hell," Nichiren high priests state.

But Ikeda says Nichiren's essential teachings are antiauthoritarian, aimed at empowering the masses to gain spiritual enlightenment through their own action. He views religion as an inner communion, independent of controlling clergy. He also says the true spirit of Buddhism is tolerant, affirming the value of all teachings, even as it holds to its core beliefs.

This pictures of Daisaku Ikeda (from this site: http://yellowpeep.blogspot.com/2006/...-of-north.html ) were quite interesting:

Basically, he is the more successful version of another Korean cult leader who claims he is the Second Messiah-- Sun Myung Moon of the "Moonies" or "Unification Church":

Koreans seem to have a special affinity for establishing cults -- maybe even more than Indians:

Ozawa met Soka Gakkai ex-boss; Komeito rumors swirl

Kyodo News

Democratic Party of Japan Secretary General Ichiro Ozawa met late last month with a former leader of Soka Gakkai, the nation's largest lay Buddhist organization, which backs the opposition New Komeito, sources said Tuesday.

The meeting between the ruling party's No. 2 and former Soka Gakkai President Einosuke Akiya, who is now serving as chairman of the group's supreme leaders council, has set off speculation in political circles that they may have been exploring a DPJ-New Komeito partnership.

The two met at a Tokyo hotel on the night of Feb. 26, the sources said, adding that DPJ acting Secretary General Azuma Koshiishi and Yuichi Ichikawa, a former secretary general of New Komeito's predecessor, who now serves as the party's standing adviser, also attended the meeting.

Participants discussed the prospects for the Upper House election this summer, including Soka Gakkai's plans for the contest, the sources said. The election is expected to take place this summer.

Backed by followers of Soka Gakkai, New Komeito provided crucial electoral support for the Liberal Democratic Party when they formed the ruling coalition until its defeat in last year's general election.

Ozawa apparently hopes New Komeito will stop supporting the LDP in elections, the sources said.

On the possibility of an alliance between the DPJ and New Komeito, a senior DPJ lawmaker said, "We cannot accept (New Komeito) shaking hands with us, while holding hands with the LDP."

Yeah, they're a cult....

I think of them as the a 'Buddhist' version of the Moonies.

One of them flagged me down in the Peace Park in Hiroshima a couple of years ago talking about his father being an A-Bomb survivor. He was handing out pamphlets and inviting me to go get some okonomiyaki with him so we could talk more about the organization.

That's the only time anyone has ever accosted me about anything anywhere in Japan.

Very creepy...

1). Destructive cults actively recruit new members, often through deceptive “front” organizations. The SGI has the Boston Research Center, the Institute for Oriental Philosophy, and others where their affiliation to SGI is rarely if ever mentioned.

2). Destructive cults claim to offer absolute Truth. Their teachings are not (to them) mere theory or speculation. The most effective cult doctrines are those which are unverifiable and unevaluable. The SGI claims that their believers are the only Nichiren Lotus Sutra believers capable of obtaining Buddhahood, going so far to claim that all SGI members are Buddhas while those of the Nichiren Shu and Kempon Hokke are “deluded Shakyamuni worshippers”.

3). Destructive cults reduce everything to a bi-polar attitude: “for us, or against us.” Anyone who criticizes the SGI, no matter how wise, is a fool and anyone who praises the SGI, no matter how foolish, is wise. Daisaku Ikeda writes, for example:

“Seven years have passed since then. The outcome of the struggle of good and evil and the workings of the law of cause and effect have been strict and uncompromising. The decline of the crazed and destructive Nichiren Shoshu is clearly apparent. The victims, unfortunately, are the lay believers who practice with the temple, who are not aware of Nichiren Shoshu’s evil and have been deceived by the priests.”

4). Destructive cults generate some kind of external “pet devil” with which to threaten their members if they should doubt, or fail, or ever leave the group. The SGI has dozens of “pet devils”. Those who leave will have misfortune on their jobs, in their families, in the social lives, have accidents, fall into hell, etc. President Toda stated: “If you keep this up, you’re going to come to a pitiful end in life.” and “Betraying the Soka Gakkai is betraying the Daishonin. In the end, they’ll receive the punishment of the Buddha, you’ll see.” Ikeda says, “To take action to fight against whatever forces appear as the enemies of the Soka Gakkai is our most noble mission.” Matilda Buck says, “How tragic it would be for even one person to have found the great means of bringing forth Buddhahood only to be diverted to another, seemingly similar, path that is incapable of leading that individual to his or her deepest happiness.” This is the jist of the Gakkai’s attempt to chain the members to the Gakkai way of life. The Biggest ”pet devil” is Nikken of the Nichiren Shoshu:

“When Buddhism speaks of “devilish functions,” what does that really mean? These represent whatever tries to prevent us from advancing in our Buddhist practice. In a sense, they are frightened when we expand the Buddha?s forces, because the realm they want to control will then be changed into a pure land. In our case right now, this function is being manifested in the current high priest of Nichiren Shoshu.”

5). Destructive cults lead their members to believe they are somehow superior to all other humans on the earth. In many of Ikeda’s speeches we see how the SGI members are to view themselves: “Sons of the Gakkai”, “inheritors of Myoho”, “Lions of the Mystic Law”, “the sole group of true believers”, “Truly praiseworthy are you who resolve to work hard for kosen-rufu and the SGI. You are the most noble of all people.”

6). Destructive cults put the will of the group above the will of the individual. This is often reinforced with simplistic games or rituals of some type designed to make the individual subservient to the group. If you search, you will find such quotes from the eternal Soka Gakkai mentor, “the Soka Gakkai is more important than my life.” We also see the special Soka Gakkai holidays like May 3rd, day of mentor and disciple, and such slogans as, “reaffirming the prime point of the Soka Gakkai” We can see inordinate references to Soka Gakkai, SGI, and Ikeda in nearly every experience given by an SGI member. There used to be dress and hair (short) and beard (none) codes for the SGI Young Men’s Division and on saturdays everyone had to dress in white pants and white tee-shirts.

7). Destructive cults teach that the end justifies the means. How they misuse upaya (expedient means) is a travesty. Flirtatious shakabuku by young women’s division, telling people they can get new cars and even drugs if the chant, teaching people that they will immediately become Buddhas if they join the SGI, and the list goes on and on how they utilize the ends justify the means philosophy of Machiavelli, the antithesis of the Buddha’s teachings.

8). Destructive cults teach strict obedience to superiors and encourage the development of behavior patterns that are similar to those of the leader. Is there any doubt why the Soka Gakkai is known throughout the ten directions as the Ikeda cult? Guidance division, never criticizing leaders, “follow no matter what”, this is so apparent to everyone but the brainwashed SGI member himself. Lately, the SGI has abandoned any subtle pretense with such overt youth division guidelines as, “Reveal your true identity as Shinichi Yamamoto” and “I want to be Shinichi Yamamoto”

9). Destructive cults offer acceptance by the group for good performance, and conversely, withhold it for poor performance. Moving up the ladder from Jr Group Chief, to Group Chief, to District Chief, to Chapter Chief, to Area Chief, to Territory Chief, to Joint Territory Chief and so on. Busting people from their position or moving them at the leaders will.

10). In destructive cults, fear is a major motivator. Guilt is a close second, and shame is third. The cult leader is perfect, so everyone below is fearful that those above will find out their shortcomings. Cult members feel constantly guilty for having those real or imagined shortcomings, and are ashamed that they haven’t worked harder to get rid of them.

“Never talk about your problems to the members until they are resolved.” “Did you know that so and so got hit by a car and is paralyzed. He should have stayed with the Soka Gakkai.” “She turned in her SGI Gohonzon and lost her job and her house.” “He committed suicide not soon after joining the Nikken sect.”

11). Destructive cult members swing from emotional highs, to emotional lows regularly.Lows are not long tolerated, and result in more indoctrination, or even ejection from the group if they last too long.

“You have weak faith.” ‘You had better go for guidance if you want to quickly resolve that problem.” Rumors to stay away from depressed individuals. Not inviting less than enthusiastic members to certain meetings or not telling them about “important” meetings. Lectures about “emotionalism” unless the emotion is rapture. Every last former SGI cult member will attest to this.

12). Destructive cults tend to re-write their members’ past, manipulate their present, and distort their future. Disrupting time orientation is an honored technique of all such cults. Human Revolution, New Human Revolution, New New Human Revolution. Need I say more?

13). And, finally, there is never a legitimate reason for leaving a destructive cult. The only reason members leave a perfect system, is because they are imperfect in some respect, and will be punished for it. “He was angry.” “He was jealous.” He couldn’t get along with his leader.” “He had weak faith.” (even if he continues to chant three hours a day and does shakabuku with the Nichiren Shu or the Kempon Hokke). “No matter which destructive cult you choose, the above 13 items will almost universally apply.

The author of these 13 points [whose name escapes me] then goes on to conclude:

Study the methods of est, LaRouche, Transcendental Meditation, Truth Station, Soka Gakkai, The Way International, Children of God, Temple of Set, Synanon, Scientology ®, The Peoples Temple, Unification Church, Hare Krishnas, House of Judah, Ramtha, Garbage Eaters, Rajneesh, ECK, Church Universal and Triumphant, Elan Vital, Posse Comitatus, or any of the others…. they use the same techniques, even though each of them claims unique and absolute ownership of the “truth.”    Dear 'sudden' new member of this forum...wonder who you are...?

·   #11 | Written by Mark Rogow about 1 year ago.  Dear Tedet: SGI doesn’t know what do with all its money. Trust me, if the Kempon Hokke had one one thousandth of the wealth of the Soka Gakkai, it would translate the Gosho based on the original Showa Tehon collection of the writings, not the self serving modern Nichiren Shoshu collection [Gosho Zenshu]. The SGI has changed and altered Gosho and lumps all writings, authentic and inauthentic, as authentic writings of Nichiren. Instead of edifying, the SGI confuses the masses of beings. There are four dangers of the Soka Gakkai from a religious perspective: The first danger of the SGI teachings is mixing the clean with the unclean. No dog would ever intentionally eat ground glass. No infant would ever intentionally ingest a toxic substance nor would any mother intentionally give her baby a toxic substance. However, a dog will eagerly eat a steak inundated with ground glass and an infant will readily drink tainted breast milk. A mother, not knowing that the noxious drug is excreted into her breast milk, inadvertently gives it to her baby. This is what the SGI members serve to the children of the Buddha. They serve the poison of the heretical doctrines of Nichiren as True Buddha, The DaiGohonzon, and the Oneness of Living Mentor and Disciple to their children in the milk of Namu Myoho renge kyo. Or they, like a mean and deranged farmer, serve their loyal dog the ground glass of slander of the orthodox sects in the steak of the Jiga-ge. The second danger is as noxious as mixing the clean with the unclean: Taking a piece of the teachings from the middle, a piece from the end, and a piece from the beginning and re-attaching them in reverse order or mixing them up. The former practice is like a surgeon who reverses a vein when creating an arterial bypass. The flow of blood ceases and the patient dies. The latter practice (that of mixing up the teachings) can be likened to a physician who is ignorant of adverse drug-drug interactions. He mixes two or three safe and efficacious drugs together which turns them into a powerful poison. The former practice of rearranging the teachings is commonplace in the SGI. For example, those teachings that Nichiren Daishonin taught before he had fully developed his faith are given precedent over the later complete teachings or they promote the theoretical teachings of expedients over the essential teachings of abandoning expedients and the exclusive faith and practice of the Lotus Sutra. An example of the danger of mixing several efficacious practices which when mixed have a deleterious effect, are the practices of shoju and shakabuku in the Soka Gakkai which are practiced without understanding the times or the circumstances in which we live. They practice shoju towards the slanderers of the Dharma such as the Zen men, Nembutsu adherents, and believers in Islam and practice shakabuku towards the members of the Kempon Hokke and the Nichiren Shu. These sundry practices the SGI perpetrates on the children of the Buddha. Neither Greg Martin nor Dave Baldshun nor any of the salaried SGI leaders are good persons and neither is their master, Daisaku Ikeda. Both have the mission of destroying the teachings and harming the children of the Buddha, Daisaku Ikeda from above and the salaried SGI leaders from below. The third danger of the SGI is that they arbitrarily add doctrines and concepts to the Great Pure Teachings where none exist and claim them as “the original and authentic teachings of Nichiren Daishonin”. This is worse than forging Gosho because it is more insidious. By altering a word here or a word there, to already extant and authentic Gosho (literally putting words in Nichiren’s mouth), they become adept at fooling the people. This cunning and treachery they inherited from the perverse seven hundred year tradition of the Taisekaji priests and their Gosho Zenshu, Oral Teachings, and faked transfer documents. Fortunately, we have the unadulterated Showa Tehon Collection of Original Gosho (as well as expert linguists), to keep them honest. We also have the disciples and believers of the Eternal Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin whose correct faith and understanding renders them capable of clarifying such matters. The last danger is, many innocent people fall prey to the SGI’s “Nichiren said this but meant that” arguments which are the teachings of the delusion of fundamental darkness. Since this is a visceral and emotional argument and the people are steeped in the Three Poisons, no amount of logic or scholarship will suffice to overturn it. Most people can no more see their own eyebrows than heaven in the distance [Nichiren]. It will require the wisdom of the Buddha born of faith in Nichiren Daishonin’s Gohonzon and the Lotus Sutra to destroy these arguments and devils.

  #15 | Written by Sera about 1 year ago.  Your definition of a cult sounds exactly like Christianity.      

  #16 | Written by Mark Rogow about 1 year ago.  They too are a destructive cult but, in the light of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren Daishonin, far less dangerous than the Soka Gakkai.      

  #17 | Written by Plutonium Chrysanthemum about 11 months ago.  The people who hate the SGI are always chuntering on about and twisting Human Rights inside out to make THEIR points stick and try to set the SGI up as some sort of wrongful or erroneous movement.  Because Buddhism speaks the truth about life (rather than orders people to live life in a certain kind of way) it is free and pure. It is bound to be criticised by those who are frigtened by it, and in many cases, by those who have seen their wonderful lives reflected in the astonishing reflection of the mirror to the law….and been terrified by the beauty they have actually seen in their own lives. We know that Buddhism speaks the truth thanks only to those who have truly protected it – of which Nichiren, Tien Tai, Dengyo, Never Disparaging and the SGI are the foremost. Perhaps this is why the truth receives so much persecution. With concern and love to the owners of these pages PC      

  #18 | Written by Mark Rogow about 11 months ago.  Plutonium Chrysanthemum, an appropriate name for a defender of the vile, putrid, and noxious Soka Gakkai which deceives the people, such as you yourself. What you perceive as beauty we perceive as ugliness what we perceive as beauty you perceive as ugliness. Who has the correct view in light of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren Daishonin’s writings? The Kempon Hokke is far closer to the truth of the teachings. Sorry to burst your bubble. all this SGI, “we win, we are the best” nonsense doesn’t fly here on this Eagle Peak blog where we are the mirror for for your ugly faces.      

  #19 | Written by Thomas Tan about 9 months ago.  I was associated with SGI when I was in a nursing home. I was sick at that time and needed surgury. This employee (a female staffer) approached me about SGI. She used her female assets to entice me to get to know the organization. She was coming on strong and very forceful about attending their center meeting. They will use forceful means to get me to be a member. I find that they are not sincere in their beliefs. Just be careful not to fall into their force.      

  #20 | Written by Mark Rogow about 9 months ago.  Tom, thanks for your input. The SGI members believe that the ends justify the means. Please chant Namu Myoho renge kyo. You don’t need the destructive cult.      

  #21 | Written by Quintin about 8 months ago.  I have been a member for six years and the chanting has powerful effects on me … there’s something there (reduces negative thoughts). Everything I chanted for no matter how little was never giving to me. But Mr. Ikeda has no problem sucking up 1.5 billion a year from mostly uneducated people and to pass the torch to his son so the wealth and control stays withing the family. They talk about not to slander within the organization, but they slander all organization outside of their group. I recently read the “World Tribune” (SGI paper) and all 60 pages was about Ikeda and a few sentence about Nichiren … I can to realize this was not about Nichiren it was about a sophisticated cult leader with new savvy approach.      

  #22 | Written by Mark Rogow about 8 months ago.  Absolutely Quintin. It is among the most evil injustices ever perpetrated against Buddhism. Thanks for your comment.      

  #23 | Written by SS about 8 months ago.  Mark Rogow and the others. Its a situation wherein one can tell you – hey this is strawberry ice cream and this is how it tastes, but unless you do not taste it, you would never know how it tastes. Similarly, without ever chanting nam myoho renge kyo and seeing the true benefits of nichiren buddhism practiced by the SGI you would never know what the power of this prayer is. The most massive difference that you can figure out for yourself here guys is that none of the SGI members have spoken ill of any of you but rather tried to reason out with you and dialogued healthy. In contrast you have all abused/spoken ill off/ said all things you wanted to disrespect the organisation and members who believe in various things associated with it. This is what the SGI members have learnt to respect the dignity and sanctity of life – each individual is respect worthy. A sincere request to you all, if you do disagree – it’s alrite, but do not disrespect – that is incorrect. If you wish to truly know what the organisation does and what Mr. Ikeda and his life has been all about read more about them from correct sources with a very open mind to try and understand. Also Mr. Ikeda is no crook as you describe him, but someone who dedicated his life to the happiness of people across the world. So many people across the world taking him to be a mentor is no co-incidence – for a man who knows no other language than Japanese. 250+ honorary doctrates, etc. is not going to be given to someone who has an evil mind. Rather to someone who has genuinely worked towards dedicating his life to world peace in various possible ways. Please read his UN proposal that he sends every year as well…anyway you know what Nichiren Buddhism that SGI follows says – each one can do their Human Revolution – to fight their own fundamental darkness within their lives and change to be a better human being. The anger, ego, hatred, jealousy, lack of confidence, arrogance, etc. anything that exists in our life can be suppressed by revealing the buddha nature by chanting nam myoho renge kyo and fighting for the happiness of each and every human being around us. The reason this law of cause and effect has spread from one person to another is because when one person sees proof of prayers in his/her life, people notice – when people notice we share with them, and we do not share with random people or publicize anything. It is a one to one interaction to help another person be happy too. Another way could be I have a close friend or relative suffering and I know them well enough to speak to them about nichiren buddhism and chanting NMRK, then I go ahead and do that sharing my own real life experiences and other members. In turn they try it themselves and do see proof. Try and understand one thing – this is the law of cause and effect and it exists, its intangible and you cannot see it but it does exist. So it does work, try it. Quintin – Mr. Ikeda gets royalty from the publishing company for his books that sell. The money that the SGI has is not his. It is the organisations’ and they are 2 independent entities. Mr. Ikeda does not slander any other organisation either, he has held dialogues with various world leaders from Zhou Enlai to Gorbachev to Toynbee to Dr. Rahman (Indonesia President – and this book was the highest seller in Indonesian history), so these things are not done out of any ill intention, rather to present to society and us people, the world that we can all co-exist in harmony if we change our hearts for the better and look at the larger beauty of our own and each and every other human beings lives. A life that is dedicated for a greater cause in everything you do, be it at work, a sport, painting, writing, business, anything…One of the few things he says very often is to be a world citizen you need to have tolerance, acceptance of other religions, cultures, etc. and competition must not be to trample on another person’s head and move forward, but respect the competitor too, compete on humanitarian grounds, think of his/her happiness too….no matter how much I may explain but when you read from the Gosho, Mr. Ikeda, Toda and Makiguchis writings you do realise and understand so many more things about life and the way to live. They have also always encouraged us to read many other inspiring books, stories and biographies about the lives of men of the past, great heroes, etc. So its not about them as you are showing it. and mentor yes – sports you need a coach, hes a coach in our daily life. Just wana end by saying – Nichiren Daishon quotes “The essence of Buddhism lies in one’s behavior as a human being.” So as I said before introspect your own life, question yourself that is what I am doing correct, is it helping me in anyway, is it making me a better human being? You may point fingers at the whole SGI or the world at large, but its a foolish thing to do so, change yourself first – there may be none worse than myself will be the answer – then see the change in your attitude if you fight to be a better human being and for the happiness of those around you. The simple way you behave at home with parents, siblings, with anyone will change. The gratitude for all you have in life will set in. You may come back with ‘n’ no. of accusations, assumptions and points as you may deem right – but you will harm none but yourself. Do not know how much you understand and believe in cause and effect or karma. So as the old saying goes the world is round and what goes around comes around – you may realise at some point. And if you feel any truth in all the other members and I have said and anything that you do read about SGI – sgi.org, books, etc. may be you will understand that if the SGI was so wrong and so spiteful, evil, conniving, etc. as you all describe it – it would have been destroyed long back. It is a good organisation doing good things – if you do not wish to be a part of it then do not disrespect it. Do anything as you deem right in life and make a name for yourself for people to remember and thank just as Mr. Ikeda. No point in criticizing someone whose done so much good, try and emulate him if not hate it. All the very best and stay happy       

  #24 | Written by Mark Rogow about 8 months ago.  I moved your comment to post status: An Opposing View  Hopefully it will generate some interest and response to your naive and patently untrue assessment of the reality of SGI and your mentor. I will respond fully after the discussion begins.      

  #25 | Written by Mark Rogow about 8 months ago.  This is going to be long because I am going to deconstruct the entirety of SS’s argument. Sunflower, please don’t be sad until we know the identity of SS. It is just as likely that she [he?] is a top salaried senior leader as a “bodhisattva” neophyte. My experience with SGI top senior leaders on the internet is that they enjoy their anonymity while spinning and running interference for the cult. They will do anything to turn attention away from criticism leveled at their cult and guru mentor, hoping that the reader will forget the point of the argument. Also, as you well know, it is their usual practice to turn the criticisms leveled at them back at the accuser and to utilize the cult attack technique known as bull baiting [a form of Ad Hominim]. Part 1 Reply to SS SS: Mark Rogow and the others. Its a situation wherein one can tell you – hey this is strawberry ice cream and this is how it tastes, but unless you do not taste it, you would never know how it tastes. MR: The delicious taste of SGI is more along the lines of cheap chinese food laden with MSG, tasty but toxic. We have all tasted, enjoyed it, and gotten sick. Nichiren Daishonin and the Nirvana Sutra teach that within the beautiful flowerbed lives the venomous snake. SS: Similarly, without ever chanting nam myoho renge kyo and seeing the true benefits of nichiren buddhism practiced by the SGI you would never know what the power of this prayer is. MR: First and foremost, what SGI practices is not Nichiren’s Buddhism. You steal the Daishonin’s Daimoku and practice Ikedaism with a little Shingon [Guru Yoga] sprinkled with Zen [Japanese Bushido].  You are either being naive and presumptuous or disengenuous. Some of us have chanted tens of millions of Daimoku within the SGI, toso after toso, and converting hundreds of shakubuku among us. One of my shakubuku is on the SGI Board of Directors, far more powerful and influential than every top senior leader save perhaps, Danny Nagashima. SGI member’s prayers are weak and ineffectual compared to the prayers of the True Votaries of the Lotus Sutra. SS: The most massive difference that you can figure out for yourself here guys is that none of the SGI members have spoken ill of any of you but rather tried to reason out with you and dialogued healthy. In contrast you have all abused/spoken ill off/ said all things you wanted to disrespect the organisation and members who believe in various things associated with it. This is what the SGI members have learnt to respect the dignity and sanctity of life – each individual is respect worthy. A sincere request to you all, if you do disagree – it’s alrite, but do not disrespect – that is incorrect.  MR: You mean like my former friend, Frank Migliozzi: “Mark you really suck you ungratefull pig.” I have dozens of more such tirades. Here you are just lying and projecting. As far as respecting the dignity of human life, SGI partners with and invests in Mitsubichi, one of the largest defense contractors in the world which makes land mines and weapons of mass destruction. The top SGI women’s senior leader is a death penalty prosecutor for the state of California. I think you knew that. Once again you are either lying or ignorant of the matter. Part 2 Reply to SS SS: If you wish to truly know what the organisation does and what Mr. Ikeda and his life has been all about read more about them from correct sources with a very open mind to try and understand. Also Mr. Ikeda is no crook as you describe him, but someone who dedicated his life to the happiness of people across the world. So many people across the world taking him to be a mentor is no co-incidence – for a man who knows no other language than Japanese.  MR: “From correct sources.” LOL. Which sources might they be? Daniel Matraux? Bill Aiken? Soka Gakkai International? The Daisaku Ikeda website? You must think we are still stupid. I’ll admit, many of us were stupid. We stayed far too long in the SGI but thanks to the Daimoku, Gohonzon, Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Nichiren Daishonin, we awoke and joined the Kempon Hokke which possesses the most refined and truthful doctrine of Nichiren Daishonin. You say Daisaku Ikeda’s only thought is the member’s happiness. Do you know how rich and cheap he and the other top salaried Japanese senior leaders are? Rick Perry who gave less than 0.01% of his yearly income to charity is ten, fifty, one hundred times more generous than Daisaku Ikeda. “Make sure that the participants each bring a bowl and a pair of chopsticks. And ask each person to pack their own lunch, since we can’t afford to provide lunch for them as well. Those who don’t bring any food with them will just have to make do with whatever edible they can find in the surrounding forest. In the future, the Soka Gakkai may experience severe oppression; we may be called on to fight or endure a long, drawn-out struggle. At such time, each person will have to find their own food. We may even have to eat grass. For the sake of training, I would actually have like the youth to spend the night outdoors.

For example, never has the City College of New York tabled any honorary degree. It is well known that benefactors are often awarded honorary degrees, people like your mentor who donate thousands of books to the various university libraries. It has been rumored that many of Ikeda’s degrees have been bought and sold for a lot more than books. Here is another example: “The PM News of Sunday, 19 June 2011 also reported that President Goodluck Jonathan had approved N3 billion for the development of the University of Port Harcourt.

In turn they try it themselves and do see proof. Try and understand one thing – this is the law of cause and effect and it exists, its intangible and you cannot see it but it does exist. So it does work, try it: MR: You reveal your absolute sectarianism [except when it comes to the provisional Buddhists, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and anyone except your fellow Nichiren believers]. How warped are you? The world’s phoniest exclusivist inclusivist cult is the SGI. Do you and your fellow members and leaders think that by your acts of duplicity and treason towards the Lotus Sutra, Shakyamuni Buddha, and Nichiren Daishonin you can have your cake and eat it to? Trust me, you will choke on your cake and cough up blood for slandering the Buddha’s Law. This is cause and effect and the reality you are creating for yourself. SS: Quintin – Mr. Ikeda gets royalty from the publishing company for his books that sell. The money that the SGI has is not his. It is the organisations’ and they are 2 independent entities. MR: And who controls all that money, the voting members?…Hehe. Tinkerbell? You think he doesn’t have an unlimited expense account? wake up, your making me sleepy. SS: Mr. Ikeda does not slander any other organisation either, he has held dialogues with various world leaders from Zhou Enlai to Gorbachev to Toynbee to Dr. Rahman (Indonesia President – and this book was the highest seller in Indonesian history), so these things are not done out of any ill intention, rather to present to society and us people, the world that we can all co-exist in harmony if we change our hearts for the better and look at the larger beauty of our own and each and every other human beings lives.  MR: Nor does he correct them as would have Nichiren Daishonin. He lacks the mercy to correct them. Again, this is proof of Ikeda’s and SGI’s duplicity. You will suck up to every Tom Dick, and Harry dictator, tyrant, and intellectual but will slander the powerless members of the other Nichiren sects. SGI is the World of Animality and Ikeda is nothing but a beast. SS: A life that is dedicated for a greater cause in everything you do, be it at work, a sport, painting, writing, business, anything…One of the few things he says very often is to be a world citizen you need to have tolerance, acceptance of other religions, cultures, etc. and competition must not be to trample on another person’s head and move forward, but respect the competitor too, compete on humanitarian grounds, think of his/her happiness too….no matter how much I may explain but when you read from the Gosho, Mr. Ikeda, Toda and Makiguchis writings you do realise and understand so many more things about life and the way to live. MR: You are so confused SS. The difference between Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism and Soka Sekashu Buddhism is greater than the difference between, heaven and earth, black and white, or good and evil. What Gosho are you reading? Which Lotus Sutra are you practicing? The Makiguchi, Toda, Ikeda Sutra is not the Lotus Sutra. The Makiguchi, Toda, and Ikeda Gosho is not the Gosho of Nichiren Daishonin. SS: They have also always encouraged us to read many other inspiring books, stories and biographies about the lives of men of the past, great heroes, etc. So its not about them as you are showing it.  MR: Then why are you so blind? SS: and mentor yes – sports you need a coach, hes a coach in our daily life.  MR: If you are going to choose a mentor to achieve Supreme and Perfect Enlightenment, you should choose the very best mentor, same mentor as Nichiren Daishonin, Shakyamuni Buddha. Actually, we of the Kempon Hokke have two mentors, Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin. SS: Just wana end by saying – Nichiren Daishon quotes “The essence of Buddhism lies in one’s behavior as a human being.” So as I said before introspect your own life, question yourself that is what I am doing correct, is it helping me in anyway, is it making me a better human being? You may point fingers at the whole SGI or the world at large, but its a foolish thing to do so, change yourself first – there may be none worse than myself will be the answer – MR: LOL I ask myself this question every day and like Nichiren Daishonin, I come to the same conclusion, “I am but an ignorant ordinary person” but I am a true votary of the Lotus Sutra. SS: then see the change in your attitude if you fight to be a better human being and for the happiness of those around you. The simple way you behave at home with parents, siblings, with anyone will change. The gratitude for all you have in life will set in. You may come back with ‘n’ no. of accusations, assumptions and points as you may deem right – but you will harm none but yourself. Do not know how much you understand and believe in cause and effect or karma. So as the old saying goes the world is round and what goes around comes around – you may realise at some point.  MR: We take our guidance from the Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin and if we are to believe them we are creating good fortune and a fortunate birth in the next life. As Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “Though I might be offered the rulership of Japan if I would only abandon the Lotus Sutra, accept the teachings of the Meditation Sutra, and look forward to rebirth in the Pure Land, though I might be told that my father and mother will have their heads cut off if I do not join the Soka Gakkai—whatever obstacles I might encounter, so long as persons of wisdom do not prove my teachings to be false, I will never yield! All other troubles are no more to me than dust before the wind.”  SS: And if you feel any truth in all the other members and I have said and anything that you do read about SGI – sgi.org, books, etc. may be you will understand that if the SGI was so wrong and so spiteful, evil, conniving, etc. as you all describe it – it would have been destroyed long back. MR: This is Mappo, the Latter Day, the Age of Degeneration. Evil flourishes and good people find it hard to endure.  SS: It is a good organisation doing good things – if you do not wish to be a part of it then do not disrespect it. Do anything as you deem right in life and make a name for yourself for people to remember and thank just as Mr. Ikeda.  MR: We do not seek accolades and despite having lost our good name like Lady Nun Myoho, the Buddha will never abandon his children. Not for a moment had Nichiren chanted for secular things. Ikeda is a secularist. We follow in the footsteps of Nichiren Daishonin. I advise you to do the same. SS: No point in criticizing someone whose done so much good, try and emulate him if not hate it. All the very best and stay happy” — SS  MR: If you ask, I might tell you about the real history of SGI in America.      

  #26 | Written by PWD about 7 months ago.  Firstly let me tell you about my background. I was a member of what is now SGIUK for many years. During all this time I was never entirely convinced about Daisaku Ikeda, although I did admire him in terms of what others who seemed to know him better said. I disliked the idea that we had to suddenly change views because Japanese Gakkai leaders had fallen out with Nichiren Shoshu priests. I have never reconciled myself to this disagreement. About 8 years ago I met someone with many, many problems – she demanded so much of my time and energy that I ended up stopping the practice. But before I did I determined to examine the 3 principal differences between Nichiren Shoshu and the other Nichiren sects. I started by reading gosho bent on doing it exactly as they were written with no interpretation. 1. Nichiren Daishonin is claimed by NSS to be the True Buddha. I looked high and low in the Gosho for convincing proof of this and found none. 2. Nichiren is the treasure of the Buddha; Nikko is the treasure of the priest; and Dai Gohonzon is the treasure of the law. In this case I had to agreed that the 3 treasures is a valid concept. But again there is nothing in the Gosho which can possibly allow anyone to arrive at the NSS view of this concept. So once again I have to say it isn’t true. 3. Dai Gohonzon is the true object of worship for the age of Mappo. NSS claims that this is alluded to only in a Gosho known to me as ‘On the Buddha’s Behaviour.’ Once again I was totally unconvinced by the supposed proof. Then I began to consider what we were actually being asked to believe. Nikko moved the DG from Minobu to Fuji from under the noses of five other senior priests with no protest? Nikko installed it at Fuji as the object of worship for this age? Since I have chanted to the DG I am well aware of its’ size and know that this is a farcical story when you really think about it. So here I am no longer a believer in NSS or member of SGI and I have been reading everything I can find. I do not want to just accept things because someone asserts their truth. And I believe I let myself go along with things I might not have otherwise believed simply because I was happy and had made many very good friends. I had forgotten my edict to myself that I won’t follow teachers who claim they are God and will only allow myself to follower teachers who accept that they are humble human beings who have, by their own efforts, achieved great insight. Thus I should never have accepted Nichiren as the True Buddha and if I had been in my right mind I probably wouldn’t have. In my searches I have discovered independent Nichiren Buddhists, not affiliated to any sect, these are generally ex-SGI members. I can see myself as being at home with such people. I only really ever had one bad experience with SGI. I wanted to write about SGI as part of a DipHE course I did in the mid 1980s. Being diligent I asked the UKs top leader for his advice and he thought it was a bad idea, so I didn’t do it. He thought that I could join the PR Group within SGIUK as I was proposing studying this subject, after my course was complete. So I asked about doing just that at the end of the course only to find obstacles put in my way. I spent months chanting about why this never worked out for me during which I realised that the leader had given me incorrect advice. It took me a hell of a lot of effort not go and strangle said leader and not to resent him for the outcome. I was intending to tell him he had been wrong but by the time I got round to it he had died. I suggest you lot look up the definition of cult in the dictionary, never mind how its’ defined by anti cult groups. It actually describes any religious, or religious like group. It is used these days by the large religious groups to disparage any small religion. On the basis of this I think that Kempon Hokke is also a cult. I don’t care whether the 13 points apply to you or not. I can see your reply now, ‘No we are not a cult.’ That is exactly what every member of every cult claims! Many of the comments here seem like they come from disgruntled ex-SGI members who are just bitter and twisted because they feel cheated. As I said before virtually nothing disagreeable ever happened to me when I was in SGI. Okay so I often had people saying I should chant harder or get guidance about something. Usually I pointed out that guidance usually consisted of chant more and little else so I couldn’t see the point. I have always rejected the idea that Ikeda is or was my master. I never saw how someone who lives on the other side of the world, speaks a completely different language and whom I’ve never met can possibly be a mentor to me. Instead I figured that either the person who introduced me to the practice, Nichiren or the Gohonzon are the only mentors I could possibly have. I now hear the claims that I am naive or some other such guff. I believe I have given some small indication that even when I belonged to SGI I was still capable of thinking for myself. Believe me, if any member or leader gave me any idea that they were trying to control me I’d have been out of it like a flash. I’m afraid none of you are very good advertisements for either Buddhism or Kempon Hokke. Isn’t it enough that NSS and SGI are ripping each others hearts out, without you doing it as well. I read some stuff from one of your members somewhere else called Nancy. The extent of their knowledge was excellent, they were very well read. But I noticed they couldn’t resist the temptation of showing how smart they were in a debate with Steven Tan (current NSS) member. The problem was neither of them was really any good at debate. They remained in the world of anger repeating over and over again how they and their lot are right and everyone else is wrong. You lot are full of bile too. Why are you so obsessed with criticising SGI? I have no intention of re-joining and I don’t want to sound like a supporter of theirs, but I suggest that you all read Goshos where Nichiren conducts debates. He never engages in petty name calling or abuse of others. So I suggest that, before you start debating anything about Buddhism you learn how to do it properly! Slanging matches are not debates and being inflexible is no good either. This Steven Tam guy is appalling, he reminds me of a Jehovahs Witness, repeatedly regurgitating the same old platitudes and refusing to listen. Listening to others is a sign of respect. Allow people their right to be wrong. If you want to correct erroneous ideas and point out others slander then there are much more subtle ways of doing so than by saying they are naive. Remember we are living in a age of Absorption, which means that everyone believes they know whats best for themselves. Now lets consider some of the rebuffs made to SS recently. One or two of the claims regarding Ikeda are similar to things I’ve read elsewhere. However, since you give no indication of where the information came from I’m afraid I cannot treat them very seriously as I haven’t any idea as to sources. The marshaling of the arguments is poor, like it was constructed by a complete amateur. In terms you seem to understand your points are rubbish constructed by someone full of frustration and anger. There’s not one telling point there. SS will continue to think the way they did before they came here, you haven’t given them anything to think about. You’ve haven’t provided any real support for your assertions. All you’ve succeed in doing is chasing them away. What I would like to see is a site where Nichiren Buddhists share details of their beliefs, compare and contrast in an atmosphere of mutual human respect. Fat chance, between you lot, NSS and SGI most people will end up further apart than ever. The lot of you are like parasites in the Lions bowls.      

  #27 | Written by Delinda about 6 months ago.  I have been practicing with SGI for 27 years and from time to time I read posts that highlight criticism of the organization. The problems may lie with those individuals that look to any organization to be the foundation of their faith. As the Gosho says, “Rely on the Law and not on the person.” My understanding of Nichiren Buddhism has been strengthened through my association with the Gakkai and Daisaku Ikeda, but my faith is based on my own daily practice in front the Gohonzon.      

  #28 | Written by Mark Rogow about 6 months ago.  Understanding comes from faith, not Daisaku Ikeda and furthermore, Nichiren’s faith and your faith differ. Your Three Treasures and your Three Great Secret Laws are not his. His exclusive faith and practice of the Lotus Sutra is not your interfaith. His master was Shakyamuni Buddha and you throw out Shakyamuni Buddha like yesterday’s calender. You study the Human Revolution and he studied the Lotus Sutra. What I see is a warped faith and shallow understanding. Why do I say this? Because you remain in the Soka Gakkai.      

  #29 | Written by william about 5 months ago.  The are lots of comments on this site- many of them long winded with strange analogies, so I’ll keep my statements short and sweet. I have seen the SGI-UK in practise over the last twenty years. Over this time I have never been asked to give a donation or hounded for money in any way at all. This seems be an arguement of many people on here. With regard to the practise, I have found it works within my life. I do not think this practise suits everyone, just like Islam, Chritianity, Hinduism etc, do not suit everybody. The SGI for me is a non profit Buddhist organisation that promotes peace through dialogue and education. I have never found anyone has ever pressured me to do things I didn’t want to do. Although I do think that the relationship with the Priests should be fixed and put to bed, I do not find cultish talk in any of the discussion meetings I attend. I also do not see profiteering through the SGI in terms of collecting donations.  The mentor disciple relationship is obviously a sore point here. I do not like the term Mentor particuarly much. Likewise, I think sometimes the SGI’s direction has gone away from some of the core teachings and perhaps has put too much of an emphasis on Ikeda. Ikeda is a great human being and a very intelligent man. We just happen to live in a hollywood culture and followers have adopted him as their mentor. I have never heard him directly tell people that he is their mentor. None more so than, Josei Toda was his mentor or Shakyamuni was Nicherns mentor. As for the guy Thomas Ten (Above), who was sick and a good looking woman introduced him to Buddhism. Maybe she was just trying to be nice, because she thought you could do with support or substance in your life. Maybe her life had been enriched and she wanted to share the same experience with you. You shouldn’t keep your defence mechanism up so much. You’d be a little more cool. Finally, you need no man to practise this faith. You just need belief in yourself. Its not magical, its not mystical. But it is practical within daily life. Try it for a while….if it doesn’t work, what do you have to lose. If anyone refutes my comments, please do not post without proof. Or reply with large, boring paragraphs. If this makes sense to anyone reading this, then I’m glad. Keep peace on your side and love and compassion in your heart and lets focus on making positive changes for this world.

  #31 | Written by Mark Rogow about 5 months ago.  BTW, you had better point out the strange analogies before denigrating them.      

  #32 | Written by Mark Rogow about 5 months ago.  Also William, you are very presumptuous. We here have hundreds of man/women years in the Soka Gakkai. Been there done that. Moved on to Nichiren Daishonin’s Buddhism.      

  #33 | Written by Alan about 5 months ago.  Hi William, To me this all comes back to my own tipping point question. Do you/me/any of us want to practice as Shakyamuni passed to Nichiren (as Bodhisatva Jogyo in the Lotus Sutra) = correctly with Kempon Hokke Or Do you want to practice as amended/distorted by the SGI NST NSHU – and others? What is correct? what is more wholesome? what is purer? I too, used to roll my eyes sometimes at the limitless quotations on here, but, think of it this way….. If it was not as the Buddha decreed, or as Nichiren taught then these quotations would not be correct and there certainly would not be so many of them!! You could call it “Actual Proof”      

  #34 | Written by Mark Rogow about 5 months ago.  Hi Alan. I’m sure William wouldn’t have minded had I posted lots of quotes from the Human Revolution, Daily Guidance, and Guidance Memo. The Lotus Sutra and writings of Nichiren Daishonin must grate on his ears.      

  #35 | Written by william about 5 months ago.  Hi Guys/ Mark/ Alan/ Anyone else, Contrary to your point above Mark, very little grates my ears- I think I’m a pretty fair and progressive person. I just thought your analogies regarding poisons and baby milk and what not was a little long winded (it was…). Maybe I was a little unfair on you regarding this, so I apologise if that was the case, as there seems to be a sensible arguement obscured in your post. Also, my apologies for not realising there had been so many pages posted before; I viewed this page on my lunch break and did not realise the abundance of posts. Upon consideration of these, maybe I’m one of the lucky ones who has always had freedom and never been pressured to chant or had members coming to my house to demand details of my practise. Likewise, I’ve never been asked to give a cash donation (apart from by my mother, and she doesn’t count). If that kind of situation has happened to people, then I apologise on behalf of the SGI, or at least my vision of the SGI and its place within society. With regard to the correct teaching; wouldn’t you argue that the correct teaching is the teaching that works for you? I’ve only ever learned to practise the SGI way (old long gongyo and short gongyo). One thing (and the most powerful for me) that has never changed is Nam MyoHo Renge Kyo. I’ve always found a closeness to my spiritual self when recitying this. Otherwise, I try to encourage people and adopt buddhist principles within my daily life (compassion etc). This to me is far more important than the correctness of words we’re taught. Maybe I’m alone in my thinking. I like the SGI. I like that it promotes peace. I like that people from different backgrounds and cultures are encouraged to embrace it and not ostrocised. I’ve seen the positive effects its had within peoples lifes, making them more confident, more assured and more open to ideas. I compare this with other religions and it all makes so much more sense for me. Apologies for poor grammer and spelling mistakes; I’ve been working pretty hard and I don’t have the energy to proof read.      

  #36 | Written by Mark Rogow about 5 months ago.  “The correct teachings are those that work for you” is a gross misconception. The Catholics believe their teachings work for them. The Muslims and Hindus too. Nichiren doesn’t teach this so please [SGI] cease to call yourself Nichiren Buddhists or Nichiren Daishonin’s teachings. SGI would have you believe this nonsense because they have changed the faith and practice of Nichiren Daishonin. The True Teachings are difficult to believe, difficult to understand, and difficult to practice. Promoting the same faith and practice as Nichiren Daishonin would limit SGI’s customer base, forcing the high salaried Japanese senior leaders to sweep floors at Mcdonalds.      

  #37 | Written by william about 5 months ago.  Hi Mark, I have to say, from reading this and some of your other posts, that you come across as pretty bitter and scorned towards the SGI. Maybe it’s some of that bitter SGI MSG…?Did something happen to make you feel that way inclined? As for your statement above, I think we just have a disagreement on buddhism and how it can be applied within your life/ applied to help impact and progress other cultures positively. You seem more hardline; orthordox, where dare say, I am more liberal. I don’t think this buddhism is for everybody, but I do think that it can impact positively on peoples lives through promoting peace (inner peace too) and tolerance. In order for this religion/philosophy to have that impact, a degree of flexibility has to be shown. My question to you is, why do you practise? What do you look to acheive through practising?      

  #38 | Written by Mark Rogow about 5 months ago.  Was Nichiren Daishonin who practiced the Nembutsu before awakening to the pure and perfect teachings of the Lotus Sutra a bitter and scorned man? In repudiating his prior erroneous faith and practice, was he bitter man or was he a compassionate Mahasattva warning of the pitfalls of the Nembutsu that he experienced first hand? Rather, entering the treasure mountain without arms and to slander me, a votary of the Lotus Sutra, as bitter and scorned, you are the bitter one. The “flexibility” SGI and you advance amounts to a destruction of the principles and practices of Shakyamuni Buddha and Nichiren Daishonin. The Lotus Sutra states: “If I convert by a smaller vehicle Even but one human being, I shall fall into grudging A thing that can not be.” (Lotus Sutra Chapter 2) “In all the Buddha’s lands of the universe there is but one supreme vehicle, not two or three, and it excludes the provisional teachings of the Buddha.”(Ibid) “Honestly discarding the provisional teachings, I will now expound the Supreme Way.”(ibid) “The World-honored One has long expounded his doctrines and now must reveal the truth.” (ibid) “These nine divisions of my Law Preached according to the [capacity] of all creatures Are [but] the introduction of the Great-vehicle Hence I preach this sutra.”(ibid) “…desiring only to accept and embrace the sutra of the great vehicle and not accepting a single verse of the other sutras.” (Lotus Sutra Chapter 3) “If I were to describe the punishments [that fall on persons who slander this sutra], I could exhaust a kalpa and never come to the end.” (ibid) “If a person fails to have faith but instead slanders this sutra, immediately he will destroy all the seeds for becoming a Buddha in this world. . . . When his life comes to an end he will enter the Avichi hell.” (ibid) “Suppose that someone coming from a land of famine should suddenly encounter a great king’s feast.” (Lotus Sutra Chapter 6) “At that time the World-Honored One addressed Bodhisattva Medicine King, and through him the eighty thousand great men, saying: ‘Medicine King, do you see in this great assembly the immeasurable number of heavenly beings, dragon kings, yakshas, gandharvas, asuras, garudas, kimnaras, mahoragas, human and nonhuman beings, as well as monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen, those who seek to become voicehearers, who seek to become pratyekabuddhas, or who seek the Buddha way? Upon these various kinds of beings who in the presence of the Buddha listen to one verse or one phrase of the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law and for a moment think of it with joy I will bestow on all of them a prophecy that they will attain supreme perfect enlightenment.” (Lotus Sutra Chapter 10) “The scriptures I preach number in the countless millions. Among all those I have preached, now preach and will preach, this Lotus Sutra is the most difficult to believe and the most difficult to understand.”(Ibid) “I constantly expounded the Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law alone.” (Lotus Sutra Chapter 12) “Among all the Sutras it holds the highest place” (Chapter 14) “At that time the Buddha addressed Emminent Conduct and the host of other Bodhisattvas: “The divine powers of buddhas are so infinite and boundless that they are beyond thought and expression. Even if I, by these divine powers, through infinite, boundless hundred thousand myriad kotis of asemkheya kalpas, for the sake of entailing it, were to declare the merits of this sutra, I should still be unable to reach the end of those [merits]. Essentially speaking, all the laws belonging to the Tathagata, all the mysterious, essential treasuries of the Tathagata, and the very profound conditions of the Tathagata, all are proclaimed, displayed, revealed, and expounded in this sutra.Therefore you should, after the extinction of the Tathagata, wholeheartedly receive and keep, read and recite, explain and copy, cultivate and practice it as the teaching. In whatever land, whether it be received and kept, read and recited, explained and copied cultivated and practiced as the teaching; whether in a place where a volume of the sutra is kept, or in a temple, or in a grove, or under a tree, or in a monastery, or in a lay devotee’s house, in a palace or a mountain, in a valley or in the wilderness, in all these places you must erect a caitya and make offerings. Wherefore? You should know that [all] these spots are the thrones of enlightenment. On these [spots] the buddhas attain Perfect Enlightenment; on these [spots] the buddhas roll the wheel of the Law; on these [spots] the buddhas [enter] parinirvana.” (Lotus Sutra, Chapter 21) “Just as Mount Sumeru is the highest among the various mountains , so this Lotus Sutra holds the highest position among all the sutras.”(Chapter 23) “Amongst all the sutras preached by tathagatas it is the profoundest and greatest.” and “…, so it is also with this Law-Flower Sutra; amongst all the sutras it is the highest,” and “… it is the most illuminating.” and “…it is the most honorable.” and “…it is the king of all sutras.” and “…it is the father of of all the wise and holy men” and “…amongst all the sutras preached by tathagatas, bodhisattvas or preached by sravakas, it is the supreme.”(ibid) “Star Constellation King Flower! This sutra is that which can save all the living; this sutra can deliver all the living from pain and sufferings; this sutra is able to greatly benefit all the living and fulfill their desires. Just as a clear, cool pool is able to satisfy all those who are thirsty, as the cold who obtain a fire [are satisfied], as the naked who find clothing, as [a caravan of] merchants who find a leader, as children who find their mother, as at a ferry one who catches the boat, as a sick man who finds a doctor, as in the darkness one who obtains a lamp, as a poor man who finds a jewel, …., so it is with this Law-Flower sutra; it is able to deliver all the living from all sufferings and all diseases, and is able to unloose all bonds of mortal life.”(ibid) “Even the Buddha wisdom could never finish calculating their [benefits] extent.” (ibid) “If in future ages there should be one who accepts and upholds, reads and recites this sutra,…his wishes shall not be in vain, and he will receive his reward of good fortune in his present life.”(Chapter 28) Nichiren Daishonin teaches: “In Tung-ch’un we read: “Question: While the Buddha was in the world, there were many who were resentful and jealous. But in the age after his passing, when someone preaches this [Lotus] sutra, why do so many oppose that person? Answer: It is said that good medicine tastes bitter. This sutra, which is like good medicine, dispels attachments to the five vehicles and establishes the one ultimate principle. It reproaches those in the ranks of ordinary beings and censures those in the ranks of sagehood, denies [provisional] Mahayana and refutes Hinayana. It speaks of the heavenly devils as poisonous insects and calls non-Buddhists demons. It censures those who cling to Hinayana teachings, calling them mean and impoverished, and it dismisses bodhisattvas as beginners in learning. For this reason, heavenly devils hate to listen to it, non-Buddhists find their ears offended, persons of the two vehicles are dumbfounded, and bodhisattvas flee in terror. That is why all these types of people try to make hindrances [for a practitioner of the Lotus Sutra]. The Buddha was not speaking nonsense when he declared that hatred and jealousy would abound.” — The Opening of the Eyes The bottom line is that the Lotus Sutra is not pluralistic. To abandon the exclusive faith and practice of the Lotus Sutra, to assert that Buddhahood can be realized through other teachings, let alone non-Buddhist teachings, and to fail to censure inferior teachings, is to abandon the Lotus Sutra. All paths do not lead to the Buddha’s land. The SGI path of mentor disciple and interfaith does not lead to the Buddha’s land. Since the Soka Gakkai breeds such perverted interpretations of the Sutra, you should avoid the Soka Gakkai at all costs. I practice for one reason and one reason alone, to attain Buddhahood in this very life and to teach others to do the same.      

  #39 | Written by RElaine about 2 months ago.  I was interested to find this website while looking up SGI. I recently began dating a member of the SGI and have begun practicing Daimoku, which I find to be calming, grounding and centering, and allows me to sit in prayer and meditation for much longer than the more common “mindfulness” meditations of Buddhism.  I am an interfaith practitioner and consciously seek the universal thread amongst all ancient spiritual teachings, which is that we are all essentially spiritual beings that have the potential to realize our true selves, our “Godhood” or Buddhahood or whatever names you care to give it. And that true practice and embodiment of healthy teachings, which promote Love, kindness and especially self-reflection and awareness can lead to this state. As I have begun studying Nichiren Buddhism, I have gone directly to the Lotus Sutra, the foundation of all the teachings, as I would with any other faith which the Creator/Universe chooses to place before me in response to my own devoted desire to continue my own spiritual evolution. It is then up to me to develop my own relationship to the teachings, and to receive from the additional teachings available (i.e. gosho) that which feels good and right inside of me. Hence, I typically avoid “organized religion” which promotes specific interpretations of the teachings. What is said above and on other pages of this site in regard to Nichiren’s teachings can be said of interpretation and teachings of Christ as well. I find it is best to get as close to the original teachings as possible. My friend never tried to influence me in any way, and only shared about his faith when I inquired about it. That said, when he introduced me to SGI, I immediately had a gut instinct that something was not right, and experienced an energy that if not overtly, then subtly communicates the intent to convert and reflects a zealousness that feels uncomfortable to me. A worldwide organization of over 12 million people, organized in what appears to be a corporate fashion, with divisions and districts, etc, does not feel nurturing and safe. I feel I am fortunate that this particular man is open to interfaith practice and dialogue, and has offered to put me in touch with other interfaith practitioners within SGI. He is also not attached to my being a member of SGI, and continues to support my study of the faith in the way which feels most in alignment with my own spiritual belief systems. I can believe much of what is being said of SGI, based on some small exposure and intuitive response, but also that in an organization of over 12million followers, not all are the religious zealots that follow with blind faith the tenets of the organization. I have been extremely impressed with the consciousness, integrity and openness of this man that has been practicing this faith for over 35 years, and would only be open to exploring this if I had not been exposed to him before SGI. I hope that there are more of this type of SGI members, and indeed, Nichiren followers, that can openly share the benefits of this teaching, which feel so much more accessible than other forms of Buddhism. Thank you for this lively dialogue.      

  #40 | Written by Pamela about 2 weeks ago.  I agree, the SGI is a destructive cult. The followers are in denial of the bullshit they’re being fed. The SGI lies, cheats and steals from their followers. The writings of Nichiren are translated incorrectly to serve the SGI’s agenda and propaganda. The cult of personality is big in the SGI. They often make the outrageous comparison of Ikeda to Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Ghandi, which is ludicrous since there have been reports that Ikeda is a rapist. I agree to avoid the SGI at all costs since they will control your life if you let them. The leaders are narcissistic control freaks who don’t give a damn about anyone else’s happiness but their own. They will throw you under the bus. Run, don’t walk, from the SGI as fast as you can.      

  #41 | Written by Mark Rogow about 1 day ago.  Well and good but “Nichiren and Interfaith” is an oxymoron. If you want to practice new age interfaith rather than the exalted teachings of the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren, you are in the right place [SGI].      

  #42 | Written by Pamela about 13 hours ago.  I wouldn’t take on the practice until there is an English translation of Nichiren’s writings that can be verified as accurate and correct. Anything else, is being trapped in Plato’s cave of darkness and the blind leading the blind. Just my opinion.      

  #43 | Written by Mark Rogow about 13 hours ago.  Hi Paula. First, thanks for the accurate depiction of the SGI. Second, even being able to read the original Gosho in Nichiren’s hand, found in the so-called Showa Tehon Collection, doesn’t guarantee that one will practice as it preaches. There is certainly a way to cull the heart and mind of the Daishonin. One way is textual parsimony. Another way is the preponderance and congruety of the various english translations. Still another is knowing that a particular Gosho is found in Nichiren’s hand and weighing the import according to the Gosho’s background and comparing the message to the five Major Writings. Of course, learning Japanese by a true seeker of the Way, can be quite useful but not absolutely necessary, if we are to believe the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren. Is the Kempon Hokke teachings and practices closest to the heart and mind of Nichiren? From my investigations, although they are in a sense subjective, I would claim, yes.

Soka Gakkai - the cult rules Japan

You don't know anything about Soka Gakkai? Don't worry about that because this website is for those who don't know much about Japan.

I still don't understand how they are threatening, or how their behaviour is inappropriate. Following someone is OK behaviour in most countries, as far as I know.  Does their beliefs involve blood-letting, or something?  Just curious.

Yeah, this article isn't appealing in terms of the danger of SGI as you claim.   SGI is a terrible mafia, and of course blood-letting group. Let me write a new article about that some day. Thank for pointing it ouT.

Hi there,  I'm an SGI member and I love the organization. That said, I've always been VERY suspicious of all organized religions (as possible money-making schemes or ways for perverts or power-trippers to take advantage of people) but after 3 years as a member I have to say, being part of SGI is the best thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life, and that's saying a lot. I don't give them any money (unless I feel like it, because I want to support such a cool group) no one bothers me or asks me to do anything I don't want to do, and I've gotten to know a lot of really wonderful members in my area and made friends with members around the world (we're in 190 countries and are incorporated as an NGO under the United Nations.) I've learned a lot about respecting other cultures, non-violence, and the importance of promoting peace and happiness for all people.   Believe me, I am the first person to look with a critical eye on any religious organization that says it's there just for the good of the people, but I can honestly say I can't find anything wrong with SGI--only fabulous things and genuinely good people who want to live happy lives and help others. Also, the United Nations is careful about what organizations they'll incorporate under their charter. I don't think they'd let themselves be associated with a cult, so that's another thing you might want to weigh in your mind when judging for yourself whether or not the organization is good.  If you want to know more, feel free to check out the website http://www.sgi-usa.org/ and contact someone in your area to learn more, or come to a meeting and find out for yourself what SGI is like. I certainly don't expect you to take my word for it. You're an intelligent, grown-up person and can decide for yourself. Come on by and see what you think.   And if you don't want to look into it any more, that's cool too, but regardless, whoever reads this, I wish you tons of happiness and success in your life!   Peace,  Autumn

You made me laugh tonight. Sorry you are so worried. You needn't be. SGI is just into peace. And not the kind that is supposed to come by dropping bombs on other people. In fact, there quite opposed to that. Mostly they think you have to talk things over and learn to understand one another. That's pretty much it. If you want to know more about it, check out  these sites: from the BBC : http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/buddhism/subdivisions/nichiren/ or check out their website at www.sgi.org or www.si-usa.org   Peace out.   Chilly

Soka Gakkai Japan is the largest, wealthiest and the most controversial religious organization to say the least. It has caused too many severe societal/political problems and psychological issues among members. It's been around in USA for 30 years already. I've lived in Japan and USA both for many years. Now, I fear for what’s coming to USA.  We need to nip it in the bud before we suffer from the same catastrophes in USA. In 2004, Forbes published an article about Soka Gakkai USA. It is very thorough and true, actually pretty mild compared to what Soka Gakkai is doing in Japan. I can attest to that because I have been a member for 20 years myself. I'm considering leaving the organization due to its cult tendency. We do not need any religious implementation to reinforce world peace, culture and human rights, not to mention, to collect massive millions of dollars from the members, and they are not even disclosing the financial ledgers to members. For world peace, human rights and diversity, we would rather refer to our constitution of The United States of America. For Forbes article, go to http://www.wwrn.org/article.php?idd=4874&sec=55&con=20 Also, The Rick Ross Institute for destructive cult provides a very informative and neutral database for Soka Gakkai. Go to http://www.rickross.com/groups/gakkai.html *PS I'm posting this comment anonymously. Because, if I disclose my full name, Soka Gakkai, especially right extremist members could trace me down for a severe retaliation.

Someone wrote "I don't give them any money (unless I feel like it, because I want to support such a cool group) no one bothers me or asks me to do anything I don't want to do" Tha't not true in Japan. Every end of year, we are asked to give a lot of money to SGI Japan (at least 100 USD). In addition we have to subscribe their newspaper every month. It's very expensive compared to the contents and volume. However, we are not reported any summary of their B/L. On the newspaper, we always see photos and articles about Mr. Ikeda and his family members and critisize of Nichiren-Shoshu, which Mr. Ikeda joined in his 19 years and had devoted his life except last 10 years.

World Peace is a useful word for CULT, to deceive the innocent. SGI pretend to live for it, but in fact, that is only a propaganda to build credibility. In their theory, those against SGI must be burnt in hell. How colorful! How peaceful a religion! Also, once a believer loses faith, converts to other religion, he should be thrown in hell as well. Members are all megalomania who belong to immoral organization infected with personality cult, Ikedaism. SGI always like to use such words as, victory, justice, peace, dialogue. But I can hardly find any of them in SGI's behavior. On the contrary, all we can find is, lie, hypocrisy, violence, suppression, and the like. That is FACISM, nothing more! To worship one person as God, has anything to do with to achieve world peace? I guess not!!

My comment' Dear readers I have been a member of Soka Gakkai for 2 years and 6 months and it has changed my life for the 100 percentage mark. I am an artist and very sensitive to life. yadayada yalla. Anyway, I chant nam myoho renge kyo the indian sanskript we chant from shyakamuni buddha. It has a way about it that has changed every obstacle I meet into a positive one. I know some people have started many rumors in Japan about soka gakkai being a cult. Well the reason is during WW2 everyone was restricted by the government of japan to practise on religion and it was shinto buddhism at the time. So the followers of the nicherin daishonin buddhism were imprisoned. They started the political party komeito to have positive forces to go against nuclear power from ever happening again and also to stop japan from having an army if they ever try to do so. Yeah so the komeito party works with some evil political parties in japan, the reason being, WHO ELSE IS GOING TO BE THE POSitive force??????????????????America and other countries have nothing like this. Look at the American government why dont you start a website calling them a cult?????????????They are screwing people to the f"""n t every single day. I wouldnt waste my time on calling a sect of people practising buddhism a cult. Why dont you spend your time doing something that contributes to the world??? Try going after real issues in the world... Oh yeah by the way we dont believe there is a hell, only the hell that exists in your mind. And we dont believe if you dont practise this buddhism that you are going to hell. People that practise this buddhism all over the world have had some major great things happen. One woman in california was hiv positive she chanted to be hiv negative, and today she is negative with a baby. We call it human revolution, when you have an obstacle its hard at first, but you can overcome your difficulties much quicker then not chanting!!!!!But I say go for whatever religion makes you happy.

Much after this article however I wanted to add my .02.  Twenty years NSA/SGI member and middle-leader. At the bottom are the regular members who the organization keep frenetically busy with activities and shakubuku. At the higher levels its all about getting new members and getting their money. No doubt you may have been asked to give money or buy the monthly magazines. The pressure continues and each HAN and HOMBU are required to bring in a certain $ amount to "meet the goals from Sensei (Ikeda)"  Now that SGI has been excommuinicated and have been xeroxing gohonzons, there remains very little spiritual reality, just a lot of hype.  Best advice I can give anyone, become a moonie, a jehova's witness or something, anything but a SGI robot.  Wakatta

I hope that your wife will understand the reality someday. I know just one page in English, helping the victims of Soka Gakkai.  http://www.toride.org/eindex.html  The most of the SGI belivers are very good person, longing for world peace, like your wife. But the SGI top members are not. They hide behind these good believers, plotting something very dangerous. It is believed among native Japanese that many of the members are North Korean residents in Japan. You know North Korea and can imagine how dangerous this cult is. They have too much money to be stopped. I am afraid that something might be happening underground in Japan. Very scared.

just wanted to leave my two cents (or because i'm from the uk my 2p worth) I have read many of these posts or articles online and have to say in my experience with the soka gakkai this is simply not true, the wide range of people who are soka gakkai members makes it for a wonderfully diverse and beautiful religion to be part of, the exceptance of every human being no matter age, social status, sexuality preference etc... is something which not is found other religions. That being said I have had instances when i have had clashes with members but that has been with the individual member and the way they are acting towards me etc... not the soka gakkai - the member is encouraged to go through their own personal growth and development as a human being (other wise termed human revolution) I have been chanting for 10 years in the uk and am confused to hear members who have been practising for longer have negative things to say as surely after that long practicing they would understand the true intention of this organisation. sorry for the long post, anyway to finish up before making any decision on the soka gakkai (or anything in life come to think of it!) just from a blog or online article (which could be posted by anyone with questionable motives or not properly researched) find out yourself in the real world. regards, Benjamin

May I ask, what are your intentions behind the objections about SGI?   with regards to the comment in being an SGI robot - do you not have your own personality and character? Can you not stay true to yourself? Or have you given up in that challengs?  With regards to the high level members of the organisation whose sole intention is to rake in money contributions - Why do you not have the courage to face the leaders if they are self-serving? Why do you not have the guts to turn things around? Do you deeply understand why reading materials are encouraged?   For those who have practiced; actually for those who practice any other religion for that matter. How much have you truly gone all out to put into action all that your learn from the religion? Do you leave even an ounce of reservation and take everything with a pinch of salt? If you have lived with doubt, then regardless of what you believe in, the doubts in your thoughts and actions already contradicts yourself. You are no longer a believer. No one gives you the right to tell you what you believe in, you own yourself, you tell yourself what you believe in. Unfortunately your own doubts rob you of it as well.   "Fish want to survive; they deplore their pond's shallowness andn dig holes in the bottom to hide in, yet tricked by bait, they take the hook. Birds in a tree fear that they are too low and perch in the top branches, yet bewitched by bait, they too are caught in snares. human beings are equally vulnerable. They give their lives for shallow, worldly matters but rarely for the Buddha's precious teachings. Small wonder why they do not attain Buddhahood." - Nichiren Daishonin  I believe that regardless of what religion you are currently practicing or not; that you continue to question and clear all doubts so that you may joyfully reap its benefits from within.  Take care all  xx Teresa

Many companies are related to soka gakai. Many production companies In fashion or television or music take the artists money away in very large percentages and give loyalty to Soka Gakai. This organisation is a disgusting sneaky organisation. Pretending to be religous they try to get well meaning people. But why would a group need the money they try to generate ? And If a production company In Tokyo does not agree with it they cannot say anything for fear of losing work.

Fact.  Agencies who represent Television Artists In Tokyo are infiltrated by Soka Gakai members and guess what ?   Artists who refuse to join have a tough time.   Many of them become Christian to avoid being punished.  And Soka Members study this blog and comment back ? If they were a genuine peace loving group why would they try so hard t  I mean this is a free area to discuss things.  My guess is that Soka workers who have time to write on here are reading this blog. Go out of your offices and walk down the street and give some money to a poor homeless Japanese person. That is the best way to use money instead of opening offices In Tokyo to just waffle. Peace is something within not something we create In magazines.

Many Japanese do not like Soka. That is why so many companies who support them do not reveal themselves.   While there is a hunger for peace and love there will be cults indefinately. Like there is a devil there is a god though so I am not in fear of them. Bring it on.

Certainly what you said can be investiage.  However, how do you expect me to totally believe whatever you say when you claim yourself to be rightist and concurrently sharing that Japanese women are nothing but sex machines in war times?  Looking at your postings from the first entry to the last entry, you jump from Japanese lifestyle to Wartime history of Japan(and mostly women having sex with soldiers). Does a person with righteousness share this kind of gross information to public? I doubt so.   You also posted a video link to justify that this religion is a cult. How do you expect people to believe when your link is broken? Therefore hardly any evidences to prove its validity.  From all the comments type inside the column, the literacy and the styles of writing are similar. I wonder if it's the same person like you posting the same message again and again? Sentences are short, simple and relatively emotional. Not much reasoning behind, but just only say this what whether religion is bad. If they are bad, why don't you explain how bad it is? I'm looking forward in listening them.  Meanwhile, for a "Soka Policeman" to follow you is hardly weird at all. Did you do or behave suspiciously? My classmate was caught by an auxilliary police because he was behaving weirdly in public. Certainly you would not called Einstein a moron or lazy student because he failed his grade school and constantly daydreaming in class. I think it is really a gross generalisation to show that Soka Policeman is weird or some mafia. We do not need to worry of getting killed by mafias or what not, cause we do not did anything wrong, isn't it?  You make want to consider re- phrasing your entry to make it justifable and soundable, and best to show us more photos. This is because your article sounds like some childish rumbling without much elaboration of the proof and claim. Similarly, can you show us more credible websites instead of the usual Rickcross website? That website has not been updated for a very long time. Just wondering if the website is credible as their information are not up-to-date.

Okay, I grew up in the States and have visited Japan a couple of times.   IMO, the SGI may appear "strange" to some. But if you compare them to any other religious or philosophical organization, I can't see any extreme difference in terms of how they express their desires for people to be good, happy, etc, for example.   How is that much different from a Christian church? Or even the controversial Jehovah Witnesses? In fact, no offense, but the Jehovah's don't believe in celebrating holidays, nor do they believe in blood transfusions. Okay, so maybe I've pointed out aspects of a group that is considered "odd" by even many Americans. But within the context of those of you who are against the SGI here, can u honestly say that the SGI is better/worse? Again no offense, but we in the SGI have nothing against celebrating Christmas (a Christian based religion), we can drink caffeine (something Mormons can't do), and we don't preach against premarital relations, whether you agree or disagree with the importance of certain sexual mores.   So maybe we actually seem too "loose" by comparison, LOL. Other than that, if we look at organizational finances (which who doesn't), the SGI is no different than other religious organizations; if anything, I've never felt coerced into donating money unless I wanted to. Of course there are times when its encouraged, but again people, don't most churches do the same? Actually I've witnessed pastors and such get mad that there isn't enough tithing in their congregations- I've NEVER heard an SGI leader get "mad" at us for not donating enough monies.   In terms of other Buddhist groups, seems they are rather passive and don't reach out enough to get people interested in their philosophies. I went to a Vietnamese Buddhist temple, and the two American monks there seemed so disinterested in attracting people to their services. Again, passivity reigns in these temples. One time these American monks were going to have a donut breakfast talk about Buddhism to attract non Vietnamese, but last I heard they sort of canceled cuz of lack of interest and/or attendance. So much for strong efforts to reach out to the masses.   On the contrary, the SGI makes effort to reach out to many, and partake in numerous community and local events all over the world.   Besides the more mystical side of this organization that bases itself on the foundation of the Lotus Sutra and Human Revolution, or the changing of one's karma or life, what is there to really dislike?   Just because Ikeda is our "mentor" or like a guidance leader, he isn't Jesus Christ for pete's sake! We don't "pray" or bow down to him or the other former SGI president's photos!  -And to the person(s) who live close to SUA in Aliso Viejo, go visit their campus and you'll be surprised & impressed by the diversity, quality of education, and the fact that one doesn't have to even be Buddhist to be a student there! There have been Muslim graduates in full hijab head dress who attended and loved Soka University. Can that be said of many Christian or other religious based schools? No offense to good Christian schools, but I don't see them encouraging Muslims to attend, or other students from other religions to attend as much either. Seems you should more or less be a Christian to attend a Christian college, if I'm not mistaken.   Soka U doesn't even have seminary type classes- its actually a secular school founded by Pres.

@latest 'Anonymous' poster: OK, by spam posting, I can tell that you are desperately promoting your religion without cause and merely stepping on the feet of other religions. Defending for yourself is one thing, but by throwing other religions under the bus(I mean, who gives a s**t over whether you can drink caffeine or not, or celebrate holidays, whatever), you merely destroy your own credibility. Upon touring SUA in Aliso Viejo, I saw that it was indeed a very nice school. However, with a school that is tied to an organization estimated to have over $100 billion in assets, of course they can afford to build more universities, programs, etc. to increase enrollment. And the people who are made up of 'diverse' religions going to the school probably did not know what Soka University was a front for this 'cult' - which is what it is, just look up the definition. I'm just glad I didn't get suckered into this mess like some of you people clearly have. Good luck in life.  P.S. I appreciated this post, yellowpeep, as it fuels my desire to research these organizations and to prevent them from brainwashing people like this.

I joined SGI 2 years ago. They are a lot of well intentioned people who get sucked into this but people who do joined need to realize that SGI is just filled with fluff and psuedo-Buddhism. Hopefully one day my fellow members in the west (USA) will come to realize this.   I've became fed up with the sanctioned Ikeda-centric study materials, the books that I am on occassion will be pressured into buying at the Ikeda indoctrination bookstore and the most slanderous offense anyone could do to assault critical thinking when the answer from "leaders" came in the form of "What Would Ikeda Do?" when a problem or grieveance I harbored was addressed. What worst of all is that people totally gave up the will to think for themselves.  It took me only 2 years to sober up to the facts but tragically my fellow members are too busy riding the sacks of sensei that if he gave them a gimp mask they would fight each other over who gets to penetrated by him first.

what the Hell is May Contribution? Oh this is where you give money to the SGI so Danny Nagashima can maintain his $250K salary and send his kids to SUA which costs over 40k a year. But if you lie on the application, say you are divorced and both you and your ex practice buddhism and have japanese last names, your kid will get scholarship...Compliments of the May Contribution campaign where struggling SGI members are conditioned to donate money so they can maintain their leadership positions. Sounds like a cult to me!

For all of the non-believers: Sensei sincerely keeps you in his prayers.  Before I found SGI, I smoked crack and whored my wheelchair bound crack smoking girlfriend at sleazy motels. In between pimping her crippled ass out to a bunch of perverted freakoziods. The life I was living was very exhaustive and I wanted a way out. One day, one of the johns I whored my girlfriend out to gave me a Nam Myoho Renge Kyo card. At first I thought it some new street term for crack but I had accidently walked into a Buddhist discussion meeting. I was touched by the compassion and as I chanted with my newfound friends. I felt the urge to really turn my life around this time. I kept going to meetings and my faith grew stronger as I building the foundation to be a productive member of society.  The power of this Nam Myoho Renge Kyo has given me the courage to turn my karmatic poison into medicine. Since I found the touching words of Sensei, I have managed to sober up, I have a job and I am taking part time courses at the community college. Since I've built this compassion with SGI, I have repaired the abusive relationship that I had with my girlfriend. She stopped smoking crack to. I've learned to accept her for her disability and came to terms within myself that she is a very beautiful woman. Because she is lame and don't can't feel anything 'down there' doesn't mean that she isn't capable of happiness.  But I stand with Sensei together we stand united for the cause of Kosen-Rufu. I smoked crack, a thieving ass low down dirty scoundrel as they say, I hope that my story touches you and to, like my wife to be, can be touched by this Nam Myoho Renge Kyo and be feel the warmth of Sensei's most earnest efforts. Despite the negativity, one day you shall walk with Sensei as we forge together an era of capable people and be champions of decisive victory. Your day will come when you too can forge a NEW HUMAN REVOLUTION.

Pray for DAISAKU IKEDA  Daisaku IKEDA has been gotten serious health trouble since last year. His health condition was disclosed via magazine and YOUTUBE video. I put a link for it. How do you think about it? So, he is called a dictator of Soka-gakkai and called decoration collector.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xQMl9NsP1o  Soka Gakkai became infamous cult religion in Japan since two decades ago.

At 3/04/2012 04:49:00 PM , Ken Y. said...

To be honest with you all, Sokka Gakkai and SGI (Sokka Gakkai International) seem to have different personalities.  In Japan, Sokka Gakkai is viewed as a creepy cult, kind of like how in the United States many people don't trust "Mormons". (No offense to Mormons or Sokka Gakkai members.)  In the 1990s there were also some unsolved murders ('suicides') linked to Sokka Gakkai because the group allegedly made it very difficult for members to leave. (This was reported by the American magazine TIME in 1995. )  In contrast, SGI has a very cheerful and positive image as a "Buddhist Organization" in the United States and other countries. They are very busy with charity and events promoting Japan and cultural understanding.  So yes, to be perfectly blunt with you all, there is nothing "wrong" with the actual Nichiren Buddhist belief or the Sokka gakkai chanting practices per se, but Sokka Gakkai in Japan has a shady history as an ORGANIZATION. It's just that SGI as it is now (overseas) has no negative publicity because Ikeda puts a LOT of money into peace projects and charity.  Followers in the United States will never know of Sokka Gakkai's negative points (as experienced by Japanese society) unless they study Sokka Gakkai's history or presence in Japan.   [[Last note: I have Japanese Sokka gakkai friends and American SGI friends who are all very friendly people. It's the whole 'cult of personality' thing and the ties of church and state (with the Komeito party and Sokka Gakkai in Japan) that I don't like.]]  Love and respect and all that jazz,  Ken.   ---  PS: If you like Conspiracy Theories, I can mention that American magazine TIME has printed some (kinda negative) articles on Sokka Gakkai (in Japan) over the years, but these are no longer available online! Coincidence? Maybe ;)  (example: Sokka Gakkai members trying to gain political power, i.e. religious groups controling government: http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,871107,00.html ))

Gekkan Pen Scandal

☆---☆---☆---☆---☆---☆---☆

Kiyoshi Hatanaka is accused of embezzling $1.7 million.

Orange County Register/December 24, 2007

The former finance director of Soka University of America has been indicted on charges he embezzled $1.7 million from the private university over the course of seven years, according to a federal indictment unsealed Friday.

Kiyoshi Hatanaka, 52, of Aliso Viejo had worked for a Big Seven accounting firm before coming to be Soka's finance director in 1990, a university spokeswoman said.

He left his job in January 2006, spokeswoman Wendy Harder said, after allegations arose that he had created sham university accounts at a Los Angeles bank, moved money into the accounts, and then cashed $10,000 checks from them.

Hatanaka could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon. His public defender, Chase Scolnick, did not immediately return calls

Hatanaka came with Soka when it moved from Calabasas to open a 103-acre hilltop campus in Aliso Viejo. The university is affiliated with the largest Buddhist sect in Japan, but attracts students from the U.S. and around the world.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Lawrence Kole said evidence indicated Hatanaka gambled large sums of money during that period at casinos in Temecula and Las Vegas

Hatanaka is scheduled to be arraigned in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana on Jan. 2, and could face trial in February, Kole said. He was indicted on eight counts of embezzlement and eight counts of money laundering; each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.

Kole said the bank became suspicious of irregularities and contacted officials at Soka, which then contacted federal authorities

Soka's Harder said the bank expressed concern about transfers that were not approved by multiple people

She said the university hired a new chief financial officer in 2005, and put Hatanaka in charge of endowment accounts.

Among the overhauls created by the new financial officer was a procedure requiring multiple signatures and approvals on bank transfers, Harder said.

Hatanaka is suspected of taking interest money out of endowment accounts, then moving money around in a way that made it less likely to be detected by university auditors, Harder said. "We're working now to recover the money," Harder said. "We did recover about a million dollars of the loss through insurance."

Soka Gakkai is Poison

Soka Gakkai is NOT Buddhism. They are a money-grubbing organisation that has hijacked the Nichiren Buddhist practices to use as a front. The more money you give them, the greater your "merits" will be.
These friends of yours who are pushing this rubbish on you are simply trying to get "promoted" within the organisation by converting as many deluded people as possible. They actually call it the "Human Revolution".

Soka Gakkai is poison and should be avoided at all costs.

"Cult" or Buddhism?

December 31, 2003
By a former member

Soka Gakkai International (SGI) presents itself as a world-renowned champion for peace, human rights and democracy. While Soka Gakkai does in fact, talk a lot about these important issues amongst members, it appears most of the organization's resources actually goes into strengthening itself, such as printing promotional materials, building new centers, etc.

It's status as an NGO (non-government organization) with the UN was essentially bought by paying dues, not because the UN actively sought out SGI.

The few charitable activities SGI performs is generally used as PR opportunities.

As far as democracy, there is no formalized voting mechanism for leadership within the organization. Leaders are appointed by other leaders. The current president, Daisaku Ikeda, has appointed one of his sons as vice-president and heir apparent.

When members complain about SGI policy or practice, a typical response from leadership is to question the members' faith in Buddhism and accuse them of slandering the organization.

The organization's publications are heavily filtered, so that little if any material that questions SGI ever reaches the eyes of the members.

The central practice promoted by SGI is chanting to the Gohonzon, a scroll inscribed by Nichiren Daishonin, the founder of Nichiren Buddhism.

To obtain a Gohonzon, newcomers must prove their interest in SGI by attending a few meetings and paying a $20 donation for the scroll. The Gohonzon they use is simply a mass-produced photocopy on a single piece of paper with a plastic rod and a piece of cord for hanging.

Newcomers must also allow leaders into their homes so they can make certain the scroll has a proper place to be kept, preferably in a butsudan or Buddhist altar with doors, so the scroll can be protected and hidden.

Obtaining a Gohonzon outside of SGI is forbidden, and there's a lot of double-talk about their reasons for this. They criticize another Buddhist sect, Nichiren Shoshu, as being superstitious for claiming SGI Gohonzons are evil. But they then say that if an SGI member obtains an unapproved Gohonzon, this is sure to bring them "bad karma."

The butsudan can cost anywhere from $30, for a plastic cabinet, to thousands of dollars. Members can also obtain a travel-sized Gohonzon, which is in a small plastic container on a chain, for a $50 donation.

Then there are the supplies. Most of these materials can only be purchased through stores with affiliated with SGI.

Leaving the organization requires that the Gohonzon be returned to SGI, despite the donation. Failure to return the Gohonzon after one has officially departed from the organization may result in regular, unexpected phone calls and in some cases home visits.
In the United States branch (SGI-USA), there seems to be no risk of violence.

SGI does not encourage members to distance themselves from non-believing family or friends, and actually does encourage members to pursue their individual interests. However, there's often little time for this considering the regular demands for various SGI publicity campaigns and meetings.

Many members are happy with the current situation in SGI. But the organization does fail to tell newcomers many things about itself, such as the need for members to develop a "master/disciple" relationship with the president of the organization, Daisaku Ikeda.

Very little about actual Buddhism is discussed by SGI, as most meetings and publications revolve around Ikeda and his writings, and a constant drama regarding the bad relations between SGI and it's parent organization, Nichiren Shoshu, which excommunicated SGI several years ago.

I hope this helps readers that may be considering joining this organization.

Honestly, SGI does not get involved in the personal lives of its members as long as one attends meetings and doesn't try to question the organization, you are free to live as you wish.

Keeping this in mind, I'm not sure if it qualifies as a cult 100%. That is, with the exception of its insistence that SGI is the only true Buddhist organization and Daisaku Ikeda is the only person truly dedicated to spreading Buddhism.

【最後に、一番大事なこと】

　創価学会の改革は不可能に近い。現実問題として不可能である。日蓮正宗法華講に入ることです。

　創価学会の改革は夢物語に近い。現実問題として不可能である。日蓮正宗法華講に入ることです。

　以前、選挙の度に「謗法選挙」と言うビラを配っていた創価学会内部改革派憂創同盟の人が癌で亡くなられたことは、創価学会の謗法の垢が強く染み込こんだ御本尊に祈っていたからであろう。どんなに創価学会内部改革派憂創同盟という気概を強く持っていても、謗法の垢が強く染み込こんだ御本尊に祈ると悪いことが起こる。これは筆者も経験している。

　日達上人の御本尊であっても謗法の垢が強く染み込こんだ御本尊は日蓮正宗の住職から“お清め”を受けないと悪鬼が去らない。悪鬼の住む御本尊にどんなに創価学会内部改革派憂創同盟という強い気概で祈っても悪いことが起こる。“魔”の御本尊と異なり、日達上人の御本尊に祈ると強い歓喜が湧くが、“お清め”を受けない限り、悪鬼が住んでいる。このことは十分注意しなければならない。もちろん、平成五年から配られた日寛上人の御本尊は“魔”の御本尊であり論外である。

　また、本人も勧誡式という御授戒のようなものを受けないといけない。強く謗法化してしまった創価学会の垢を払うためである。

　創価学会に残っていては不幸になります。日蓮正宗法華講に入ることです。

　重ねて書く。創価学会に残っていては不幸になります。日蓮正宗法華講に入ることです。

【あとがき】

　これは出版することにする。広宣流布のためだ。何処かの出版社の方、宜しくお願いします。適当に編集・推敲してください。もう一度書きます。適当に編集・推敲してください。

　書いた時期が様々であるため重複しているところが多いことお許しください。３年ほど前に書いたものも多く混じっております。２００９年頃に書かれたものが多い。

　なお、これはあくまで匿名で出版することにします。自分が書いたものとは分からないようにするようにします。その点、宜しくお願いします。匿名出版です。印税などは要りません。勝手に推敲、訂正などお願いします。

　匿名は創価学会内部改革派憂創同盟残党とします。

　なお、自分にはお金がありません（熱心な創価学会員である女房にお金を握られています）。自費出版も無料でないと無理です。

　正義感のある出版社の方、無料で出版を宜しくお願いします。たくさんの苦しむ無知な創価学会員を救うためです。

　この本は出版されなければならない。何故なら、池田大作の悪を知らしめるためだ。池田大作の悪を知らない素朴な創価学会員が余りにも多過ぎる。そのためだ。池田大作の悪を知らしめさないとあまりにも素朴過ぎる無数の創価学会員が可哀相である。純朴過ぎる創価学会員を幸せの道へと導くためだ。

　これは幻の書である。

　ここに書かれていることは夢幻である。

　これは一つの文学作品である。宮殿革命は不可能である。

　重ねて書く。これは一つの文学作品である。宮殿革命など考えては居ない。

　もう一度、重ねて書く。これは一つの文学作品である。

　この本は夢幻のように消えてゆく。

　ただ、インターネット上に夢幻のように置いておく。

　人生とは仏法上の厳しい因果律に則ったものなのでしょうか。それとも夢幻なのでしょうか。私には分かりません。

　私は隠れ法華講として大人しく生きてゆこうと思います。安穏とした生活を私は望んでいるのです。卑怯かもしれません。しかし私は安穏とした生活を望んでいるのです。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　作者：夢幻（ゆめまぼろし）

　隠れ法華講員として生きていると元気になる。生きている一瞬一瞬が歓喜となる。しかし、自分は安穏な生活をも望んでいるのです。迷い煩悶しているのです。

　日如上人様、自分は法華講に入りたいですが家庭的に入ることが出来ません。妻の一族が狂信的な創価学会員です。妻の両親は昭和３０年からの創価学会員で支部長を長年やってました（早く死ね！）。妻を改心させるために全力を注がねばなりません。でも容易いことではないと思います。

　可愛い幼い子供とこのまま暮らしたい。その一心です。また、その子供を自分の親が溺愛しています。親孝行をしなければなりません。

　そこに立ちはだかっているのが家庭内宗教問題です。これはあまりにも大きな大きな問題として立ちはだかっています。どうしたら良いか、全く苦しんでいます。

　妻はあまり熱心ではありません。しかし創価高校卒です。友達は創価学会員しかいません。周囲の創価学会員の刷り込みが最近は激しいです。妻も他の３人の兄弟のように狂信的な創価学会員になる可能性は大きいです。

　隠れるんだ。隠れるんだ。隠れ法華講員として過ごすんだ。隠れ法華講員として過ごすんだ。

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　（完）

　煩悶しています。

　このホームページはあなたが造ったことにしてくれないでしょうか？　パスワードも教えます。というよりコピーして新しいところに造ってください。

　自分の極めて危険な状態を案じてください。

　そして僕は隠れ法華講員として慎ましやかに生きてゆく…しかし、法華講員として戦うべきだ。

　創価学会にも情があることを期待しています。

　自分がこのホームページの作者であることが知れると拙いのです。家庭が崩壊します。（これは大袈裟でした）

　その心配で一度はこのホームページを削除しました。

　このホームページの作者が自分であることが知れると自分は破滅です。（破滅は大袈裟でした）

　しかし今までこのホームページが問題にならなかったのは不思議だ。ヤフーの知恵袋で盛んに宣伝しているのですけど。

　自分は幻のように消えます。

　自分は幻となります。

　それともこのホームページを幻のようにインターネット上に残しておくか？

　これからは手を付けずに。

　自分は煩悶しています。

　信仰弱い自分なのです。

　何も手に着きません。心配ばかりで。

　再び、このホームページは消そうかと考えています。

　このホームページが価値があるか？という考えがあるのです。広宣流布のために。

　しかし正義感がそうはさせないのです。

　まだ幼い可愛い二人の子供がいます。その子供を自分の親が溺愛しています。離婚することが許されないのです。
