SGI members exist to serve Daisaku Ikeda

"Men shall make the right religion prosperous, but the right religion shall not make men prosperous." -- Dengyo the Great

"Religion exists to serve people, people do not exist to serve religion." -- Daisaku

The reality is that SGI members exist to serve Daisaku Ikeda and his well paid lieutenants. We serve the Lotus Sutra and the people out of a sense of gratitude. This is the import of Dengyo's statement.
