Reform is a naturally long and difficult process. Right now I would argue that moving towards what Andy Hanlen proposed in terms of democratizing the SGI is still happening while your blog has moved in the opposite direction. I’m convinced that it is face to face and life to life interaction that speaks louder than dogmatic lecturing from a computer keyboard. Actual proof of resolution of conflict and discord amongst leaders and members is still and always will be based upon daimoku and sustaining engagement . Something I don’t see on your blog going back 20 years. Most people would reasonably conclude their way ain’t working . Buddhism must accord with reason to remain viable in today’s society. Marty
