"Thank you for your comment. However, the intent of this blog is not to have “open and honest dialogue.” I was told by a top leader there is no dialogue in the SGI. Meetings serve as a vehicle to promote publications and activities. That is all. All my attempts over the years to promote dialogue at meetings were squashed. Group think over-rides individual’s feelings and experiences. Who refuses to look in the mirror is the SGI. The agenda is set by the leaders of the SGI and there is no room for individuals’ opinions, thoughts, or anything. All the SGI wants are sock puppets and members’ effort, time and money. That is one definition of a cult. Another definition of “cult” is the verbal, emotional and physical abuse that SGI leaders heap on their members. If the SGI were a corporation, they would be sued.
I also grew weary of the spying and gossiping that goes on among 20-30+ year members — maybe like you. I’m only pointing out inconsistencies and hypocrisy that I noticed in an organization that prizes itself on morality and world peace for all humankind. You know as well as I that small groups in the organization can’t get along, so obviously, the SGI is not working. Something’s wrong. My other friends who commented here pointed out because the SGI is practicing Ikedaism.
My assertion that the SGI is linked to communism may sound far-fetched, but it isn’t. If you take a closer look at the United Nations and what there goal is, you will see how Ikeda fits right in with their agenda21. Some people are admitted communists and think a one world government would be great. I used to buy in to all that garbage, but since I am a recovering liberal, the idea of controlling the world’s population and exterminating most of it, doesn’t sit well with me. The United Nations is a corrupt organization that supports and participates in genocide in third world countries, ex. NATO, and yet pats themselves on the back that they are humanistic. They make me want to vomit. I’ve come to see the SGI and the UN as one.
When a member of 40 years practice can hit me in the stomach after I recently gave birth to a baby: that’s evidence enough for me that people who chant and practice for many years can be filled with hate and avarice. I suppose you would say the reason she hit me was because of my “karma.” No, the reason she hit me was she was filled with envy and hate, which has nothing to do with me. If I buy in to the SGI “canned” reason of “it’s your karma,” then I become the problem: I can never escape the vicious circle because every bad thing that happens I must say it is a result of my bad karma. When I look in the mirror I see a reflection of my physical self, but I know I am an individual on a path to seek truth. To discover truth, I have to pull away lies, and the SGI was one big lie that sadly, I bought at one time, and others I love bought too." -- Administrator Conservative Patriot and Non-Apologist from Cali
One will NEVER have such horrid experiences practicing as the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren teach. We are a true religion composed of enlightened individuals. We treat our fellow members with the utmost respect and dignity. SGI offers lip service to "The Buddha's behavior." We live it.
