Why SGI's latest "statement" regarding the state of the union and the state of their faith is false

Uniting in Prayer for the Peace of the Land Toward Jan. 26, SGI Day!

To all members of the SGI-USA,

Our efforts to establish the correct teaching for the peace of the land are centered on expanding a network of people committed to doing their human revolution and thereby transforming society.

In light of current events, let us reconfirm the Buddhist principle that our personal security cannot be established in isolation. Nichiren Daishonin encouraged his followers to pray with determination for “order and tranquillity throughout the four quarters of the land,” also saying “it could never come about that the prayers of the practitioner of the Lotus Sutra would go unanswered.”

With this lionhearted spirit, and led by our foremost Women’s Division members, let’s unite in chanting abundant daimoku for the peace of the land as well as the safety and security of every person and every community in America and around the world toward SGI Day, January 26, 2021.

Thank you.

The SGI-USA National Team

Their statement is false because Soka Gakkai members are NOT Bodhisattvas of the Earth. Nichiren teaches: "If you are of the same mind as Nichiren, you must be a Bodhisattva of the Earth. And if you are a Bodhisattva of the Earth, there is not the slightest doubt that you have been a disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha from the remote past." Soka Gakkai members neither have the same mind as Nichiren nor do they teach that they have been a disciple of Shakyamuni Buddha from the remote past.
