Keep It Real(istic)

December 2, 2012 by allthingsnichiren
I went to a SGI-USA World Peace meeting today (in a major US city) and kept count on the number of times I heard the following words/phrases:
President Ikeda/Sensei Ikeda/Daisaku Ikeda/etc.:  I lost count.  Seriously, I gave up on counting at the 20/21 mark.
Daishonin: 1
Nichiren: 0
Lotus Sutra: 1
Kosen rufu: 1
Gosho: 1
Buddhism/Buddhist/Buddha: 0 (again, seriously)"

This perfectly mirrors my own experience and one of the principle reasons I left the Soka Cockeye.

    Thanks. I try. It is however difficult both protecting the teachings and having empathy for those who would destroy them. I am not the equal of Nichiren Daishonin.
