What do you mean, what's about to happen? I live in the land down under where we have been having our share of record breaking disasters, pretty much like the rest of the world. Look at the nuclear disaster in japan. Don't you think it is ironic that while the Gakkai was focusing on the evils of Nuclear war over the last 40 years that the Trojan Horse of the so called friendly Nuclear power was raced through the halls of power via the Gakkai/Mitsubishi...Komeito...LDP,and at the same time the Geo Thermal Power plants were being mothballed. If we can't trust them with the teachings of Nichiren how can they be trusted with money. Toxic Buddhism = Toxic wasteland - the environment is a reflection of our life condition. Now I hear that Mitsubishi is the the Gakkai's main bank that invests in nuclear weapons, that the Gakkai is supposed to appose - this would have to be the height of their hypocrisy. So much for our glorious future - thankyou glorious mentor Ikeda and company - why didn't we listen to Nichiren- Because this is a Hell Planet where the lowest of the low have been sentenced for the crimes that they committed in in higher worlds.
"Outbreaks of the three calamities and seven disasters that occurred thereafter were for the most part due to confusion within Buddhism itself. But these would affect only one or two persons, or one or two provinces, one or two clans, or one or two areas. Such disasters occurred because of the curse of the gods, because Buddhism was slandered, or because of the people’s distress."
I can not say exactly what will befall the province of South Carolina, only the assurance that some great calamity will certainly arise there. It will be specific punishment and limited [to this area] because of the confusion engendered by the SGI expansion there.
What you are talking about is the general punishment befalling the world for refusing to embrace the Lotus Sutra and Supreme Votary, Nichiren Daishonin:
"The three calamities and seven disasters of these past thirty years or more, however, are due solely to the fact that the entire country of Japan hates me, Nichiren. In province after province, district after district, and village after village, everyone from the ruler on down to the common people seethes in anger against me such as the world has never seen. This is the first time that the fundamental darkness has erupted in the lives of ordinary people caught in the illusions of thought and desire.13 Even if they pray to the gods, the Buddha, or the Lotus Sutra, these calamities will only be aggravated. But it is different when the votary of the Lotus Sutra offers prayers to the essential teaching of the Lotus Sutra. In the final analysis, unless we succeed in demonstrating that this teaching is supreme, these disasters will continue unabated."
That and, of course, the nature of the times steeped in Anger, Avarice, and Stupidity.

Nichiren teaches:

I couldn't agree with you more.
