Examples: "Heroic collective effort to attain a metaphysical goal; "a scape goated demonized adversary"; "anti-egalitarian"; "hostility to democracy"; "hostility to the values of the Age of Free Thought and Expression"; "the cult of the leader and admiration for his special qualities"; "a respect for a collective organization and a love for the symbols associated with it"; "the doctrines [such as 'victory or defeat'] contains little that is specific, beyond an appeal to energy and action"; "authoritarian autocracy"; "pseudo radical populism"; "economic [and religious in the case of SGI] corporatism"; "spurred by a strong charismatic leader whose reactionary ideas are said to organically express the will of the masses"; "who are urged to engage in an heroic effort to attain a metaphysical goal". Also, there are features of SGI leaders'speech that mirror closely the speech of the nationalist socialist leaders in the 1930s and 1940s.

ReplyDeleteBecause of the abuse that I and other people that I know have received from the SGI I no longer have trust in it
ReplyDeleteIronically there is no freedom of Religion if you are a traditional NB believer
only other religions are tolerated in the organisation
There is no freedom of speaking out
No freedom of gathering for those that like true traditional Nichiren Buddhist concepts
No members rights for expressing their right to be heard
No freedom to study certain parts of the Gosho
Spying on members who raise their voice and collecting information about the people who they have been associating with
intentionally isolating members who speak out
There is no freedom to study the the traditional NB concepts like ichinen sanzen,9 consc etc
This has all been happening because of the encouragement of the national leaders who have been influenced from SGI and Sokka Gakkai headquarters
We can no longer be sure of what they say about what P.Ikeda said, as his minders can use his name so they can push their own agenda
P.Ikeda has said things over the years that are completely contradictory, especially on his views about Karma, Rebirth
The Soka Gakkai has all the signs of being a Cult.
Sokka Gakkai can no longer be trusted as a custodian of a religion that teachers Nichiren Buddhism but rather a cult that glorifies P.Ikeda
