"The natural power of human beings is very weak. No matter how hard one tries to live one's own life in one's own way, in the end one is easily influenced by others and by external factors....I believe that to make one's life its strongest, most brilliant and happiest, there is no way but to live the Buddhism of ichinen sanzen [a single life-moment possesses three thousand realms] and the mutual possession of the ten worlds. This is the ultimate philosophy that Nichiren Daishonin delivered to the vast universe more than seven hundred years ago. He perceived people's ignorance of this profound principle and bestowed upon them the gem of ichinen sanzen so that they could attain the state of happiness. This gem of ichinen sanzen is nothing other than the Dai-Gohonzon that he inscribed...."(Buddhism in Action, vol. 7, pp. 107-08)
You would think that members would leave SGI in droves when they learned that Nichiren did not inscribe the Dai-Gohonzon and never once referenced a desire to do so---
ReplyDeleteYou would think that a massive protest would break out regarding the counterfeit Gohonzons sold to all the members-- or at the very least a demand for a refund?
You would think that a lie of this magnitude would stop every SGI leader and member in their tracks long enough to say WTF???
The fact that this has not happened is the best evidence I can think of for calling SGI a cult--

Nichiren taught that extreme evil is that which is very difficult to discern.
