Ichinen Sanzen reveals the reason for SGI's Code of Conduct for leaders

Cause and latent effect is always simultaneous. Cause and manifest effect may or may not be simultaneous. That's why SGI leaders are required to sign the Code of Conduct for leaders... because there is not the simultaneous manifested cause and effect of Buddhahood in the Soka Gakkai. On the contrary, there is both the simultaneous latent and manifested cause and effect of Buddhahood in those who share the same faith and practice as Nichiren Daishonin.
