NSA SGI-USA George M. Williams January 26th 1982 pt. 1/5

http://www.saddharmapundarika.com/ This is a meeting at the "World Culture Center": Santa Monica, CA., Jan 26th 1982. George M. Williams speaking. This was an important meeting, because here a "special announcement" is made. I encourage people to listen to this a number of times.

There is also remarkable guidance from George Williams about Shakubuku and the goal of One Million Members in the USA. Had it not been for Ikeda undermining him and the slanderous staff stabbing him in tne back, Nichiren Buddhism would have spread much further in the USA. Although GMW too, was caught up in the "President Ikeda": issue, notice how he refers back to Mr. Toda. It was Mr, Toda that was George Williams early connection to the Gakkai.
The audio is from my own recording of the meeting. Since i had no visuals I created my own visuals and there is a brief news report on the Japan disaster.

@kehau96701 Not very personla, when Senior leader are even Slandering Mr. Williams at meetings. Even meetings with guests. They go too far. Mr. Williams should be a Gakkai Treasure, not demonized as he has been.

@mksutra President Ikeda never said he was our Master. He is a mentor to the SGI just as Pres.Toda mentored him and the Soka Gakkai. I believe he is a Master of Nichiren Buddhism in Society and he has accompolished what no one else has but, that was his mission. I agree with you that Nichiren Daishonin is our eternal Master of the Lotus Sutra of Nam myoho Renge Kyo in the time of Mappo. Peace out!

@ehofuenin First of all ask Nikken about the time capsule. You know there is no more Sho Hondo. I did have my name on a monument in Pupukea, HI. Did GMW ever say he was "used?" I doubt it. There were no fraud or evil in the collecting of donations, which by the way every Church organization is allowed to do. Who is supposed to pay for the electricity, etc. in the buildings that the MEMBERS use? It is not free.

@Sactomojo If Mr. Wms is a dear friend of yours then you would know the truth of what happened was of a personal nature. If not, ask him. I really liked GMW and he grew to know me thru the yrs. via Jr. Pioneers. I even named my son after him. GMW's time was crazy fun and challenging as it was meant to be. Times change The SGI continues to grow according to the time and condition of the 21st Century. GMW is enjoying his time with his grandchildren and I am happy for the time he led us.

@Sactomojo Please consider this as sharing info-not an argument. First of all, Pres. Ikeda has never and does not "reign." If you admire what he has done then you should understand that. Will he be the SGI Pres. until his death? I hope so, no one deserves it more. However, he has already passed the baton to the Youth Division and since then he no longer attends meetings. You are entitled to your opinion however, SGI continues to grow with joyful shakubuku.

Although I admire everything he has done, President Ikeda should have resigned when he turned 75. Yet he will be reigning over this organization until death and it is suffering tremendously.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams are very dear friends of mine as I am sure they are to so many. The way Mr. Williams has been treated is an absolute tragedy! He may have been strict but the organization was so much happier. Thanks to one woman (I will not mention her name), due to her jealousy over losing an appointed position, she is the reason that Mr. Williams resigned. How big has SGI grown since? Very little here in the States. I believe that the energy left the day Mr. Williams stepped down.

One of Evil Ikeda's halfway measures to scam & collect money from the members is to claim that he will leave all members' names on monumental stones or bury a time capsule containing your names. Where is the capsule buried when Shohondo was built in '72 now? He & Soka/SGI-USA still do the same fraud to the members to collect donations. Unfortunely, Mr. GMW didn't know he was used as a tool for Ikeda as a money machine. He used GMW's pure faith in EVIL way! NS is the same!
