This of course is just sensationalist nonsense.

The organisation may have many faults, but one does not have to be a member to chant Nam Myoho renge Kyo.

Shakyamuni Buddha said:

"Follow the law, not the man".

And the law is Nam Myoho renge Kyo.

I've been practising for 25 years and have never been happier or more content with life, and chanting elevates my mental, physical and spiritual energy hugely.

Don't listen to these cynics - it is their Karma to have bad experiences.

@throbule

"Follow the law, not the man".

yes,you are right, don't follow Daisaku Ikeda but Nichiren Daishonin.

Hokkeko members are following the law of the true buddha in the latter day of the law Nichiren  Daishonin.

When the earthquake hit Japan the Soka Gakkai had food & shelter for the hungry & homeless what did the Nichern Shoshu temple do for the people during that time for the people?

gohonzos de nikken abe estão cada vez mais sumindo

e gohonzos da soka gakkai estão cada vez mais grandes



[yunhanable]

nichiren shoshu is nichiren shoshu, nichiren sect IS a diff thing. don;t mix them up

[yunhanable]

seriously? you all sgi members go around saying bad about high priests, i have heard many fake stuff about him, and even a video with an impersonator( not even alike) abusing our priest? how fake can sgi get? If you all wanna know which is the true one, wait until when we die, and see who will come and lead us to reincarnation. if nichiren daishonin is the one, it means nichiren shoshu is the right one. when are we call NICHIREN SECT btw?

@SwedishSahara There were donations by Nichiren Shoshu to the victims of the earthquake

I hope the narrator of this video is right in saying the SGI membership has declined. But I'm worried because the remaining members might well the the most fanatical ones. The hard core of the organization is still capable of doing a great deal of harm. Let's not forget that a wild animal is most dangerous when it's threatened.

@usaavra:

Karma is the effects one experiences in one's life, and is the genius of the Buddha to have explained it so well.

It is a fundamental strength to be able to recognise one's own Karma and that of others.

All human beings, whether Buddhist or not are subject to the law of cause and effect, and the experiences of the people in this video is simply Karma at work.

"They may chant the daimoku of the Lotus Sutra, but their behaviour reverts to that of common mortals". (MWND)

Get over it.

@mksutra:

"Follow the law, not the man", does not refer to Daisaku Ikeda.

It is a warning from the Buddha to all practitioners to trust only the law of Myoho Renge Kyo - not any man, group or organisation.

All organisations by the nature are corrupt, and Hokkeko are no different.

You were just trying to appear clever, but in fact you sound rather stupid.

[swatirajsgi]

@usaavra No, but with soka spirit! Gohonzon is universal. even if nikken has the Dai Gohonzon, nothing will happen because the heart is impure. But the SGI is upholding the law in the way it was delivered and preached by Nichiren. please awaken to the reality of Nichiren shoshu.

[usaavra]

@swatirajsgi HOW WITH FAKE GOHONZONS?

[usaavra]

@DrEdFeraco  WHERE IS HELL? HAVE YOU. LOOKED AROUND YOU LATELY, THE TEN WORLDS, JUST DONT SHOW UP WHEN YOU ARE DECEASED. TAKE A TRIP TO IRAQ, AFRICA, ETC.

OR LOOK AT ALL THE HOMLESS PEOPLE IN THE USA. OH RIGHT THAT IS JUST KARMA.
