"As you can tell from my username, I was born in 2004 and I'm turning 17 soon. I wasn't born into the practice, some family member introduced my mom to the organisation in 2006. I'm from India so its called BSG here. My mother forced me to chant as I grew up, and I started chanting and attending meetings in 2008. My parents are hardcore members of the organisation, and in the district we used to attend meetings in, they looked up to one particular men's division leader. Mind you, this man has been practicing since the 80's, he even has a daughter of his own. And that didn't stop him from sexually harassing me. This man has a huge fan following in my state. People look up to him like he's literally the Buddha. My parents used to flatter him and invite him to family gatherings. You guys won't believe it. It was my parents' anniversary and they had invited this man to a restaurant for dinner. He sexually harassed me in this dimly lit restaurant when my parents weren't present because they had gotten up to talk to an acquaintance. I was ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. I didn't even realise what had happened to me until they taught us about it in school when I was 11 years old. My granny is the closest person to me, so I immediately told this to her. My sister was born in 2010 and this man calls her a 'fortune baby' and I made sure to protect her from him whenever he visited my family. This isn't even the worst part. It's my parents' reaction that hurt me more than anything. In 2019, I worked up the courage to tell my mother about this. She didn't believe me, she was like, you were 6 years old then, how can I trust you? Then I told her that my granny could confirm it, and she started believing me a bit. My father downright told me that I'm lying and seeking attention and trying to spoil the relationship between the two families. Even my abuser shamed me and called me a liar. My mother changed districts because she's a district level leader and she couldn't let HER reputation be tarnished because of ME. I have heard a thousand stories of women being abused by this man, and that includes my MOM'S OWN BEST FRIEND. But she's still in contact with him, and instead of taking any action she says I should pray for HIS HAPPINESS. I FUCKING HATE THIS ORGANIZATION. God knows how many more incidents go unreported. I have no interest in continuing this practice or being a part of this organisation but my mother forced me, emotionally manipulates me, guilt-trips me even though I don't want to do it anymore. I'm waiting to get into college so I can move far away from this family and this shitshow."
SHI has zero ability to transform people into Buddhas. SGI leaders are far worse than pedophile priests because they directly destroy the Law.
