Lauren comments in post, My goodness...SGI members have crawled out of the woodwork to castigate me.

"Proved my point, bro. for starters. Either show your face in SGI, or perhaps do the decent honest thing and stop speaking for thousands of members you don’t know. For starters , bro." Lauren

Response: In 1996, I set up a table outside the New York Community Center with anti-SGI literature and Kempon Hokke Sutra Books and asked for a meeting with David Kasahara. Many members were interested in what I had to say but 3 YMDs came out and told me to move away from the center or they would call the police. I got into my car which was right in front of the center [hehe I thought only top SGI senior leaders are able to find a parking space directly in front of the New York Kaikan] and told them, "You are cowards and poor disciples of the Buddha of the Modern Age."

The SGI top leaders with whom I requested a formal debate all refused with various excuses. Ian Mcilraith, David Kasahara, Al Albergate, Gerry Hall, and Greg Martin are all cowards.

Soka Gakkai has numerous manuals for leaders including a Code of Conduct for Leaders, it has its published bylaws, has a national and international website, has many blogs, is on Dharma wheel and reddit. Here is the example of your cult Code of Conduct for Leaders.

All SGI members proclaim, "I am a Buddha". Actual Buddhas don't need a Code of Conduct because Buddhas behavior is faultless. The SGI religion has no power to create nBuddhas so they have a Code of Conduct.

SGI Code of Conduct for SGI leaders or "Real Buddhas don't need no stinkin' code of conduct."

SGI-USA Code of Conduct for Leaders

In recognition of our shared commitment to spread the Mystic Law throughout the world for the sake of peace and the happiness of all humankind; to proudly carry out kosen-rufu activities based on the spirit of the oneness of mentor and disciple exemplified by the three founding presidents of the Soka Gakkai; and to resolutely protect the harmonious unity of the SGI; in recognition of the great opportunity and responsibility to serve the precious Bodhisattvas of the Earth in the SGI-USA; in recognition of my mission to nurture the faith of those entrusted to my care on behalf of SGI President Ikeda; in recognition of the impact, both positive and negative, that my behavior can have on the faith and unity of my fellow practitioners; I am determined to live up to the standards of leadership and highest standards of conduct as described in the 2008 Leadership Manual, and agree specifically to:

* Contribute to harmonious unity based on dialogue and respecting the opinions of others and, in particular, men respecting the opinions of women;

* Abide by the guidance and activity guidelines of the SGI and participate in and promote the kosen-rufu activities of the SGI, including, but not limited to, propagation, publications and contributions;

* Study and apply the writings of Nichiren Daishonin and the guidance of SGI President Ikeda to deepen my faith and understanding of Nichiren Buddhism;

* Respect the dignity of each person, neither condoning nor engaging in discriminatory language and/or behavior toward any member based on age, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, political views or any other distinction;

* Refrain from using religious activities to involve the organization or its members in political activities, recognizing that I, as an individual, may freely engage in political activities;

* Restrict my leadership role to my assigned organizational responsibility—not giving direction in organizational matters to members in other organizational units—and connect members to their direct organizational leaders and never promote exclusive relationships between members and any leader, including myself;

* Not use my organizational relationships to promote any personal business interests or engage in the borrowing or lending of money among members;*

* Not engage in or condone sexual misconduct;*

* Not violate the privacy and confidentiality of members;* and

* Not engage in any other behavior that disrupts the harmonious unity of the SGI or disturbs the faith and practice of its members.*

If I were to bet "bro", I know more about SGI and SGI members than you do.
