On failing to gain benefit

SGI fails to follow Nichiren who teaches that faith in the Lotus Sutra is first and foremost. It is enough to chant until one feels happy, usually fifteen or twenty minutes. Of course, there are exceptional times when one might want to chant more, for example, the recent death of a loved one. Not finding a mate right now or the perfect job, is not a life and death situation. They have turned Nichiren's religion into a cult, a prosperity [and personality] cult. The incessant chanting of Daimoku makes one highly suggestible while a deep and abiding faith makes one stong and self assured. In fact, all the chanting is the opposite of a strong faith. Since the Law is supreme, one should expect fabulous and expeditious results. If one fails to gain benefit by doing the morning and evening practice, it is because one's faith is warped, not because one is chanting insufficient Daimoku. The Lotus Sutra also teaches that one moment of faith and joy is enough. If they were to actually study the writings, they would see that what I am telling them is true.
