“True Islamic jihad is the most courageous process a person can undertake. A jihadi fights with himself to overcome his own limitations in order to contribute to society at large. This slow and difficult battle, the true jihad, is what Buddhists call the ‘human revolution.'”
SGI's teaching on Human Revolution runs contrary to the Lotus Sutra's teaching of Three Thousand Worlds [the entirety of phenomena] in a moment of reality.
Nichiren Daishonin states:
"Moreover, as life does not go beyond the moment, the Buddha expounded the blessings that come from a single moment of rejoicing [on hearing the Lotus Sutra]. If two or three moments were required, this could no longer be called the original vow of the Buddha endowed with great impartial wisdom, the single vehicle of the teaching that directly reveals the truth and leads all living beings to attain Buddhahood."
Can you find anything RECENT that Mariane Pearl has said or written for SGI? I'm wondering if she's still involved with SGI - I can't find anything attributed to her from after about 2005 or so, after the publicity surrounding Daniel Pearl's murder died down.
