In the latest SGI Quarterly, there is an article on a woman fighting to eradicate landmines in Africa. Probably many African landmines are manufactured by SGI's partner Mitsubishi. Either way, SGI's rhetoric and exhibitions of peace and preserving Article 9 at all costs ring hollow for supporting Shinzo Abe and partnering with Mitsubishi.
All the th hidden secrets that have been hidden in the dark corners of the SGI are now blowing up in their faces for all to see. Finally judgment day has arrived for them where they have to account for what they have done
ReplyDeleteSGI current GD, Aidin Straus, formerly SGI CFO disclosed a small percentage of SGI USA's financial assets are from their stock portfolio .

Or if "The Roots of Good Fortune" has ever been the topic of a SGI Gosho lecture ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting the Roots of Good Fortune Katie. How apropos!
ReplyDeleteAs the advent of SGI's "Contribution Activity" draws near, it would be appropriate, I think, to reference, " On The Four Stage of Practice"
ReplyDelete"Question: For practitioners in the Latter Day of the Law, who have just aroused the aspiration for enlightenment, what types of practices are prohibited?

(WND vol. I,p. 786-787)
The cover page of "Young Lions" insert in the WT , Springtime 2012 was covered with little piggy banks decorated with flowers....

no clinging to the provisional teachings. sgi does not care or even understand this. too bad, but for the japanese, and those that follow them, buddhism has become a business.
