Soka Gakkai's failure to follow the principle of Buddhism adapting to the culture of the country to which it spreads




                                                     Abusing children into the cult



                                             Cult leader, Daisaku Ikeda

Lets change our culture to the Japanese culture, why don't we? SGI violates the principle of adapting to the local customs when Buddhism spreads to a foreign country. ...Japanese speech, Japanese mannerisms, Japanese songs, Japanese top leaders, the list goes on and on. This is one of the many dozens of reasons Soka Gakkai is stuck on 35,000 active members in the United States rather than their stated membership of 340,000 which is laughable. Generously, there are 1500 districts that average, at most 25 active members.

  1. Osaka LDP against Komeito and Ishin which means disunity with Osaka LDP and LDP headquarters:

    The rejection of the merger is also a defeat for the local Komeito chapter, which works with Osaka Ishin in the municipal assembly to form a majority. Although the merger plan had deeply divided Komeito’s rank-and-file members in the city, Komeito leader Natsuo Yamaguchi visited Osaka in October, urging voters to back the plan, which Komeito and Osaka Ishin assembly members had agreed on.

    On the other hand, the result is a victory for local chapters of the Liberal Democratic Party and other major opposition parties that had opposed the merger. Local LDP representatives joined forces with their counterparts from the Japanese Communist Party to campaign against the merger, often appearing in local television debates together against Matsui and Komeito representatives.

    Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who enjoys a close, personal relationship with Matsui, had refrained from taking a public stand, saying it was a matter for the people of Osaka to decide. Attention now turns to how the loss will affect not only their personal relationship but also the political relationship between their two parties."
