I am wholeheartedly appreciative to Daisaku Ikeda for founding this institution, to the faculty for nurturing my education and my life, to my classmates for everything, and to everyone else who supported me.
Hello, my name is Leonel, I am a member of SGI-Argentina, I commend you for all the work for everything they do there in college in California, I understand that is one of the largest universities in the world and also one of the leaving great human values!
Protests, walkouts and lawsuits concerning California school run by cult
A California university established by a controversial Japanese Buddhist organization, which has been called a cult, is having serious problems.
25% of the faculty at the newly established Soka Gakkai University in Aliso Veijo, California have been dismissed and/or walked out. And students are dropping out in protest, reports the Orange Country Register.
Japanese businessman Daisaku Ikeda is the founder and leader of the modern Soka Gakkai sect. His organization seems to be in the midst of a public relations meltdown regarding its newest school in the United States.
The controversial Buddhist sect spent nearly a half billion dollars to get the 103-acre campus up and running.
But despite the groups wealth and expensive effort it seems that teachers and students alike dont appreciate the way it runs the school.
Soka Gakkai previously promised the new university would not be focused on its beliefs, proselytizing and religious indoctrination, but instead would reflect an open, nonsectarian environment.
However, professors and students say, most decisions are made by an administration composed entirely of Soka Gakkai Buddhists.
One professor said the university is secretive, hierarchical, coercive and deceitful. Another who was fired has taken legal action, alleging religious discrimination. And the universitys Dean of Faculty is gone, seemingly as the result of a purge.
There is a sharp divergence of opinion between those faculty and students affiliated with Soka Gakkai and others outside the group. Those within the organization essentially deny the seriousness of allegations.
It seems Soka Gakkai is having considerable difficulty adapting to an academic setting based upon openness and dialog. The organization is instead historically known for its autocratic and authoritarian tendencies.
A lawyer for one former teacher said, In a university environment, youre supposed to be able to ask questions. One teacher added, This is the least powerful faculty I have ever seen in my life.
But the sect and its political party known as Komeito in Japan has a deeply troubled history of aggressive proselytizing, allegations of abuse and purported blind reverence and obedience to its leader Ikeda.
Maybe these academics and students should have done their homework before going to Soka U?
And SGI and Korean's decendant President Ikeda founded SUA for the straredy for recuritement of members to SGI. Maybe your friends are good people basically, but eventually you will get involved in any kind of troubles in the future, only because of having attended SUA.
If you are a student of Brigham Young University in UT, it would cause something troubles in USA.
How do you think that? Only one quote on the video was by Daisaku Ikeda. The video was nothing to do with him, but simply had a quote that he said. The focuse of the video is encouragment for students who are studying English.

Could you please stop posting anti-Soka Gakkai Propaganda on this video! This has nothing to do with Daisaku Ikeda or the Soka Gakkai! These statements you are not nessecay! You are directing them at my friends who are soka gakkai members and I really can't allow you to do that! Please stop!
I was in Japan, I met Japanese Gakkai members and visted the Soka Gakkai headquarters in Japan. They are nice people!
I am not an SGI member, I do not try to recruite anyone to become SGI because I am not SGI.
The point of SUA is to promote humanistic education. Students who are from all religions attend SUA, not just SGI members. I am not SGI but some of my best friends are. I want to understand 何で、創価学会のことが大嫌いですか？説明して下さい。

SGI members are basically naive and pure people,
have good personality, but if you have a chance to stay in Japan, and see the real Soka Gakkai, you will be sure to change your idea.
nekogasuki4141 2 years ago
Are you a Korean or Korean-Japanese?
Since you have already connected Soka Gakkai,
You can't do anything about criticizing anti-Soka Gakkai movement,
Why do you learn English?
Only for SGI recruitement?
You never run away from this question as long as SUA student or Soka University.
