Let's evaluate the Soka Gakkai objectively

Last years men's division guidelines and activities. 

II. Guidelines.. 

Strengthen the oneness of mentor and disciple in our lives 

Prove the justice of the SGI toward April 24th and beyond by fostering youthful successors of the second act of kosen-rufu 

As men’s division members, let’s wholeheartedly support and strive to realize the above activity focus points of our organization, and make them our own. 

III. Men’s Activities 

*In response to the challenging circumstances we all face, and with the spirit of replying to the encouragement conveyed to us in our new mottoes from President Ikeda, we’d like to encourage all men’s division members to gather to chant together, if possible on a weekly basis, with the spirit of changing our destiny and the destiny of our nation. Let’s make our lives shine with “youth and victory” and win through our prayers and action for kosen-rufu! 

*Let’s continue to gather each month to study and engage in dialogue together with our fellowmen. This year, we’ll be studying the New Human Revolution, Volume 21, beginning with Chapter 1, the founding of the SGI. Excerpts and suggested study questions will be posted on the SGI-USA website. Let’s encourage all our fellow members to subscribe to and read the World Tribune, where installments of President Ikeda’s book are published monthly. 

* Both men’s division FNCC conferences this year will be open to all members (regardless of leadership position). The dates are July 10 – 13 and September 25 – 28. 

* As we have done the past two years, let’s celebrate our Men’s General Meetings in August by spearheading dynamic and inspiring district discussion meetings, together with all the divisions. Let’s also support the women’s division efforts to do the same in February, and the youth in March.

Response: 

“The ultimate doctrine contains little that is specific, beyond AN APPEAL TO ENERGY AND ACTION”: -- Scruton on Fascism

Here are a few more SGI cult Ikadaisms: 

“Victory or defeat”; “ever victorious”; “life condition”; “take action today”; “It is essential for our members to raise their voices and take action.”; “Develop the will and spiritual energy to guide your members.”; "Give your very life for the Soka Gakkai.”; “A lion is fearless. A lion is never defeated. A lion never laments. A lion is swift. A lion roars. A lion runs. And, above all, a lion wins without fail.” 

"And, above all, a lion wins without fail". Certainly, he is not talking about the Detroit Lions. Can animals be said to win or lose? Lament? Never defeated? I can accept "fearless", "swift", and "roars" but even "roars", the Lotus Sutra and Nichiren speak about the roar of the Lion but Ikeda purrs to his dictator and powerful friends.
