Daisaku Ikeda lost his first born son and successor to a readily curable illness; he lost the so-called High Sanctuary of "True" Buddhism [Sho Hondo]; and most recently, he lost Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution. He also lost his mind and his good health thanks to a stroke. He gained a multi-billion dollar multi-national religious corporation; a cult based on the slanderous teachings of Taisekeji; internecine conflicts throughout his empire; a personal wealth of several billion dollars thanks to hundreds of ghostwritten books and member donations; 300+ bought and paid for honors and awards; and the adoration of millions of brainwashed personality cult followers who can not distinguish black from white.
not to mention future lifetimes..............yikes !!!

DeleteI've read and directly witnessed SGI leaders laugh and scoff at the idea of future lifetimes because they say that there is no individual karma or causality that goes through the eternal cycles of Birth and Death. All that there is, is the eternal never changing "Now" ( they have discarded the part of the Alaya consciousness that relates to the individual which is consciousness [9 consciousness's] aspect of the 5 Components) that is the integral functioning of the ultimate principle of ichinen sanzen of Law of Myoho Renge Kyo
Delete(5) Consciousness is the cognitive function of discernment that integrates the components of perception, conception, and volition. Form represents the physical aspect of life, while perception, conception, volition, and consciousness represent the spiritual aspect.
Because the physical and spiritual aspects of life are inseparable, there can be no form without consciousness, and no consciousness without form.
All life carries on its activities through the interaction of these five components. Their workings are coloured by the karma one formed in previous lifetimes and at the same time create new karma.
How we view eternal life effects how we behave in this life
How convenient, this attitude translates into non accountability for their thoughts , words and actions in this life, perhaps this partially explains their erratic behaviour and the dysfunction within in the organisation and other secular affairs within the daily life of the individual members that have been caught up in this web of cheat and deceit
They are way out of rhythm with the Law of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo which results in a myriad of physical and mental illnesses and a life of confusion, chaos and pain that doesn't just stop here but rolls over to future lifetimes.
In the writings of Nichiren Daishonin we are warned about the consequences of slandering the Law, but fools thinking they are wise, scoff at the Law to their own demise YIKES.....!!! alright
Great post Noel. Thanks.
DeleteGreat post Noel. Thanks.
Delete"hundreds of ghostwritten books" sounds right because what Ikeda says on video and what other leaders say about him through there direct experiences is so different to what is written in books
ReplyDelete"He also lost his mind and his good health thanks to a stroke" but there is a lengthy peace proposal written in his name to the UN this year.
ReplyDeleteYou'd have to have a damaged mind to believe what the SGI says about Ikeda
"adoration of millions of brainwashed personality cult followers who can not distinguish black from white." Can't or don't want to think for themselves
ReplyDelete"High Sanctuary of "True" Buddhism [Sho Hondo]; a cult based on the slanderous teachings of Taisekeji;"
ReplyDeleteThe Vatican of True Christianity in Rome has been playing the same game a lot longer
"he lost Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution" and aren't the Okinawan's pissed off . Expanding US bases weapons systems capabilities. Mainland Japan doesn't want them on their turf, they have to many potential Fukushima's to worry about, the last thing they want are more nuclear bombs dropped on them
ReplyDelete"300+ bought and paid for honors and awards;"
ReplyDelete"self a praise is no recommendation" the SGI loves to brag about his dodgy accolades as if they have been personally awarded to them , somehow this makes them feel big and important by hiding behind this flimsy veneer
In Buddhism, we encourage critical thinking , not to be controlled by others.
in the clear mirror of the lotus sutra, ikeda and the sgi are sick. end of story.
