No true empathy in the Soka Gakkai

Empathy is being able to put oneself in another person's shoes. I never found empathy in the Soka Gakkai because the organization takes precedence over the individual. They would often quote President Toda, "The organization is more important than my life" or leaders were always placing the blame on the failures of the organization by placing the blame on you, "you are the organization" or "the organization is a mirror of your own life condition." This last assertion particularly is all wrong from the standpoint of the Lotus Sutra teachings of the oneness of person and the environment and that of theThusness of reality. SGI is actually a type of Buddhism called Yogacara or Mind Only, where all phenomena are purported to derive from the mind of the individual. This being the case, there can be no empathy and no acknowledgement of others because everything derives from one's own mind. It is a selfish way to view the world. Despite their rhetoric of caring, they embrace the ignoble and selfish teachings of pre-Lotus Sutra Buddhism rather than the actual caring and respect of Nichiren Daishonin towards his disciples and believers.
