"The Soka Gakkai is the jewel of Buddhist Democracy' -- Daisaku Ikeda

An SGI member rebuts criticism of the SGI leader appointment process: 

"That's interesting. In America, no religion I know of democratically elects their leaders. Episcopal, Lutheran, Religious Science Unity Agape, all leaders chosen through seminary or leadership appointments. But thanks for the perspective. Very interesting." -- Gary P.

Yes Gary but these religious organizations don't tout themselves as jewels of Democracy while Daisaku Ikeda states,"The Soka Gakkai is the jewel of Buddhist Democracy".

My criticism of SGI and your mentor is not their process but their lying and hypocrisy.
