Jim Celer, Midwest Bureau Chief for the SGI "Living Buddhism" magazine, repeatedly posted in the google group alternate religion Buddhism Nichiren:
"The following is a translation of an article that appeared on page 1 of the November 19, 1997 Soka Shimpo, the Newspaper of the Soka Gakkai Youth Division.
"Nikken's drinking urine. I tried to drain the mud-colored water from Nikken's bath tub, but at that time, a senior priest yelled at me saying that the muddy solution is something the High Priest cherishes. Nikken not only bathed in the oat water, but also drank it. Nikken even tried drinking urine to stay healthy, so there was always a cup on top of the toilet. When I asked my senior about this, he answered with a frown that Nikken was drinking his urine. He is no better than an animal dressed in priestly robes."
What, there wasn't enough to assail Nikken on doctrinal and administrative grounds? Typical SGI cult bull-baiting technique.
