Soka Gakkai is a multi-level marketing scam

I once bought into an MLM [multi-level marketing] system and took on a "financial mentor" for $10,000.00 initial investment. Then, as I chanted, I realized that I didn't want to look at people as if they were $$ or recruits. SGI is not much different. Instead of having deep mercy and compassion for their converts, it is drummed into the members that converting people is the surest way in which the member can change his or her karma [gain]. The Buddha and Nichiren, on the other hand, teach that the purpose of spreading the Lotus Sutra is to benefit the masses of beings and to create the Buddha's Land.
