The latest SGI "wisdom academy" lecture on Ichinen Sanzen [3000 worlds in a moment of existence], contains the video of a young man who leaves the house angry and he encounters one angry person after another and an angry misfortune prone environment. The latter part of the video shows the same young man leaving the house with what SGI would terms a "high life condition" and everyone he meets is warm and friendly and the environment too take on the characteristics of a joy filled paradise. The point of the video is to demonstrate Ichinen Sanzen and its relationship to the Buddhist concept of the oneness of person and environment [Esho Funi]. The danger of said video is that it is not at all how Ichinen Sanzen functions. In fact, one who faithfully practices the Lotus Sutra will encounter the fury of the Three Obstacles and Four devils, one after another, and a multitude of people who despise and persecute the true votary [those with the "life condition" of Pure and Perfect Enlightenment, for example, Nichiren Daishonin and Bodhisattva Never Despise]. SGI teachings market a false reality that ensures that 95% of the sincere seekers of the way will abandon their faith because they had not been well prepared beforehand.
