Dr. McLaughlin maintained in his latest video that Soka Gakkai practiced the principle of Zuiho Bini (Buddhism adapting to the culture of the countries to which it spreads). I tweeted him demonstrating that SGI does not practice Zuiho Bini. It incorporates Japanese culture into the countries in which it spreads and I gave the following examples: Exporting the Japanese language and expressions ("HAI", AAO, Esho Funi, Hobo Bari, etc); singing Japanese songs; excessive adulation for the Sensei (Forever Sensei song after most meetings); exporting Zen Bushido "follow no matter what" mentality; very top leaders predominantly Japanese; authoritarian rather than democratic structure.
I practiced with SGI in the United States for 15 years and in Italy for 4 years. In both countries, SGI failed to practice Zuiho Bini. Dr. McLaughlin is either an SGI plant or a coward. The Dr. Professor could have attempted to demonstrate how I was wrong (which he couldn't do) so instead, he disallowed my tweet.
