"Now in this latter, evil age, great evil arises less from secular wrongdoing than in connection with the doctrines of the religious world." -- Nichiren
The SGI and the Nichiren Shu should take this teaching to heart, especially the SGI with their secular approach to violence [Victory Over Violence, anti-bullying campaigns, and nuclear disarmament initiatives]. Nichiren teaches that such efforts divorced from forceful religious conversion practices [shakubuku] are doomed to failure. One need only look at the countries and leaders in which SGI President Ikeda has visited and dialogued with to know that what Nichiren and I are telling you, is true.
