It's been said that we've all done personal things on work time. Is there a person who hasn't used his or her office computer for personal correspondence, e-mail and checking out the latest on favorite websites?

What Linda Johnson has done, if this publication's allegations are true, is far more serious than this. It's an ethical issue, a major conflict of interest, and I'm surprised that she only got demoted for it. People have been fired for far less.

Her office makes determinations on whether a religious organization in California can be shut down. And she is a leader in the Soka Gakkai -- whose goal is to shut Nichiren Shoshu down. It's like asking a lawyer to prosecute a member of his own family! Or asking an accountant to audit her husband's business for possible violations of tax regulations. Any competent professional knows not do these things! It's a major conflict of interest.

That's why Johnson's statement that she was just helping friends and acting as a private citizen is nonsense! Johnson cannot be a fool, or she wouldn't have gotten where she is, in both her legal career, and in SGI. So why is she speaking like a fool? She knows better.

Ah, the untold story of SGI.

-------------------Beginning of quote--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was that Linda Johnson, who was employed at the department already possessed the absolute authority on religious corporations, which obligingly agreed to meet a demand search Odano.

Within a few days, the lawyers had prepared their reports and were together 'in one place. The prosecutor, Linda Johnson, had also prepared a long report of more than ten pages. The report of Johnson, we have obtained, said: "On the foundations of the Office of the Attorney General of the State of California, in determining the feasibility of contraidre the Temple of Nichiren Shoshu and Hokkeko of Nichiren Shoshu has dissolved "she research the applicable laws and precedents. Attorney Linda Johnson had concluded his report as follows (paraphrasing '): On the foundations of the Office of the Attorney General, seeking a dissolution is an exceptional case. Accordingly, I do not know if it is possible to order the dissolution of the Temple of Nichiren Shoshu. From another species, there is a precedent or dissolution as decided on the basis of a petition of members and shareholders. If there is an illegitimate action consisting of priests has to pay high wages so unusual, so they can be prosecuted.Actions against members of the SGI resulting in the inability to let them enter a temple may also be deemed unlawful. "In other words, the search for a solution through the Office of the Attorney General is somewhat delicate. However, if the prosecution came from within the Nichiren Shoshu, the dissolution is possible.
--------------End of quote----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can the Office of the State Attorney General close down a religious group? It sounds possible if a majority of members or shareholders petition for it. Is that a good thing? Now, I know that there are some awful groups out there that exploit their members. Yet, close down a religious group? Does that give a state office too much power -- power, as we see here, that can be misused?

It also seems that SGI could have encouraged SGI members to go to the temple, create disturbances, and then cried "Discrimination! Unlawful exclusion!" when the Nichiren Shoshu members kicked the disruptive SGI members out?

Unbelievable.

And patenting daimoku?

What an organization.

@ tsukimoto

all this is actually quite pathetic when you coem to think of it. Even though its quite a few years since it shows to what length some in SGI would go.

There is another article about these SGI-USA incidents, it looks like it was translated into French from the Japanese, and then its automatically translated into English, which makes for interesting reading.

Its interesting that ONLY the cult-sect site in France called Prévensectes [www.prevensectes.com] carries these articles from The Weekly Bunshun about SGI-USA.
The French cult site Prévensectes, has been attacked by many cults in an attempt to shut it down.

There are a couple dozen articles there about SGI, and it would be a good idea to save or cross-post any that are relevant.
There seems to be a lot of trouble with SOKA GAKKAI FRANCE INTERNATIONAL (SGI FRANCE).

The General Manuel Noriega received funds Ikeda and the Soka Gakkai for its operations finace traffic in drugs.
The revelation was made recently that the President of SGI Daisaku Ikeda procured funds to General Manuel Noriega for his traffic cocaine. Then we learned that the Japanese politician and member of the Party of Nouvelles Frontieres (Shinshinto), Ichiro Ozawa, received the sums of money Ikeda, its investments in the form of the drug from Gen. Noriega. Noriega.

Prof. Yoshihiro Tsurumi City College of New York, director of the Institute of Economic Research Pacific, in his recently published book entitled: An unconventional methods to kill the American (Japanese title:-Amerika goroshi No Cho-Hasso) 206 and following pages, shows that Daisaku Ikeda, Ichiro Ozawa and General Manuel Noriega were linked together in the traffic of cocaine from Gen. Noriega in Panama.

Proof of this comes from the testimony of Gen.. Noriega himself, who testified that Daisaku Ikeda Alimenta Noriega with funding from the Soka Gakkai for its use in its drug operations in Panama. Gen. Noriega also testified that Daisaku Ikeda has regularly paid Ichiro Ozawa of enormous sums of money from the profits made across the traffic of drugs Noriega thanks to money from the Soka Gakkai.

Daisaku Ikeda
A businessman who exploit THE REPUTATION OF BUDDHISM
TO EMPHASIZE ITS PERSONALITY TO EXPAND ITS BUSINESS 'MILLIONAIRES

In 2001, Asia Week magazine put it already in 19th place in his ranking of the most powerful men in Asia. In the same ranking, the president of Sony Corporation is at 29th place, the president of Toyota in the 35th, Prime Minister of 'India to 40th, the Prime Minister of Australia to the 46th.

How did a former employee to get rich so remarkable?

Thanks to favorable tax treatment enjoyed by all religions in Japan, Daisaku Ikeda, the Soka Gakkai has been able to transform into a committee of business almost free. . Not only that psychological enslavement of 12 million members of Soka Gakkai in Japan has been able to create a sort of consortium of consumer be able to boycott the products of unwanted people in the Cape, which constitute a hard core of loyal consumers, always ready to purchase and give away the books first Sensei ( "teacher").

Even assuming that every believer is shopping for himself at least 4-5 books a year, it is very quietly sold 50 million copies in Japan alone, without any need for ad dollars.

If the President is upset with someone in politics, it is difficult for economic ruin because each member will be happy to do something for the sake of Kosen rufu, such as erasing major supply contracts with troublesome people or block the publication of books " too critical. "

Before him, in the first two presidents, Makiguchi and Toda, the Soka Gakkai Association was at least a serious and devout, but Ikeda, when he became president, discovered the enormous power that comes with having millions of people willing to follow always and every password, every wish of the Head, any indication, any suggestion.

This irresistible mental influence has been ably used for "the fray" on the ground specifically through the establishment of a political party, the Komeito, which despite its limited electoral results, it is sometimes made available in the formation of the government majority.

Despite the Komeito is now formally separated from the SG, all their equipment, from politicians down to the last employee, are members of the Gakkai, and then subjected to the charm and above all to the unquestioned and unquestionable power of Ikeda.

Among other things, each year the SG takes a special meeting of leaders on support from the Komeito.

Faced with these successes, Ikeda has seen fit to try to reproduce globally the results obtained in the motherland. Thus in 1975 came the Soka Gakkai International. Ikeda's dream is to make the Soka Gakkai can count on every country in the world on the consent of a significant proportion of the population.

To achieve this, the Soka Gakkai has simplified and adapted, with some deformation, Nichiren Buddhism, a sort of religion that seems invented in the studios of Walt Disney, because it is naively based on the achievement of their own desires and ambitions, just like the fairy tales of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

In practice, a factory of fantasies and illusions, the exact opposite of traditional Buddhism, which teaches even to remove the attachment as an essential condition for overcoming the pain and progress in wisdom.

However, it is a well known phenomenon that people want to be deceived, if you find reassurance and psychological protection. . So the Soka Gakkai could not quickly expand teaching Buddhism "true", ie one that requires dedication, meditation, research, contemplation and renunciation.
Those who want success in the sense of propaganda, and the growth in numbers alone, we should spread the promises that everyone wants to feel a little 'as in election campaign:

"I want you, the members of Osaka, prayed before this Gohonzon and fill your lives for benefits. Recover your health if you are sick. Earn enough money to live comfortably if you are poor. Continue your faith in a perfect manner and become happy. "(J. Toda, speech inaugurating the first cultural center of Kansai, 4 January 1956)

IKEDA always knew his self investing large sums to exalt his megalomaniac ambitions.

In the photo on the left we see his picture in the star at the center, while its "blue men" (toh. .. seems a congress of Forza Italy!) Participate in a convention of the Soka Gakkai in Japan.

The exaltation of themselves and the absolute lack of modesty is minimal as there may be more alien to Buddhism, which, however, Mr. Ikeda si ritiene il maggior interprete contemporaneo. Ikeda is considered the greatest contemporary interpreter.

In Japan, perhaps more than abroad, Ikeda continues for years its "holy war" against the hated rival Nikken Abe, patriarch of the Nichiren Shoshu, the Buddhist sect that has excommunicated Daisaku Ikeda considering it undignified and took away the Soka Gakkai any recognition.
By contrast, the inspiration dell'indiscusso head Ikeda, recitations are held regularly for the destruction of the Temple Nichiren Shoshu.
The campaign of hate seems to find fertile ground among the members of Soka Gakkai Japanese, who come to paint Nikken as "more evil than Osama bin Laden. Besides who does not align with the campaign are prophesied misfortune and curses.



Daisaku Ikeda AMA PROMOTING THE CULT OF HIS PERSONALITY '
EVEN WITH EVENTS IN HIS CAMP IN PHOTOS
Alongside the historical characters and PRESTIGE

Another striking example of the megalomania and indole boaster of Daisaku Ikeda is reported in the newspaper Buddhist CYBERSANGHA. In this site tells you how Ikeda had the cunning to create its own Cultural Center at Harvard, with the deliberate purpose to hold conferences in a way that exploits the enormous prestige in the media of the American university is considered the most important institution educational world.

The magazines of the Soka Gakkai International describes the "triumph" of Ikeda at Harvard. Nobody knew anything at Harvard, of course, yet the press continue to emphasize the SGI is suspected of Ikeda calls for respect for Harvard and Harvard for his erudition ! Obviously not specified that Ikeda was invited by .... ITS cultural center, and played sull'equivoco to get people to believe that the calls came UNIVERSITY 'Harvard.

A true masterpiece that shows the ability of media Daisaku Ikeda to know how to use subtle psychological tricks to imitate, substitute, boasters, appropriation of another's fame and prestige.

Eventually, after many false recognitions in the end there are those who believe, and also awards come true, because he never spared Ikeda donations that might attract the benevolence of Institutions, International Organizations, State.

The leadership of Ikeda's anxiety enlarge his reputation led him to make big mistakes, like the questionable acquaintances of bloodthirsty dictators. Qui sotto lo vediamo insieme a Nicolae Ceausescu . Below we see with Nicolae Ceausescu.

Daisaku Ikeda TOGETHER the bloodthirsty Romanian dictator Ceausescu

Despite the claim to appear as a staunch pacifist leader, Ikeda has never had qualms in establishing relations with the political compromises with various crimes. His supporters, having generally lost all critical faculties, in some way to defend the honor of their father-master, the undisputed master, using a ridiculous excuse: Ikeda would visit these shady dictators to convert to peace.

Nothing is more absurd, first because not even the same Ikeda has issued similar statements of intent, also none Of these tyrants has entirely changed its behavior.

Below we see Ikeda with the Panamanian dictator Noriega. Daisaku Ikeda and Noriega Conversations like old friends.

Could not miss a meeting with Fidel Castro (see photo below).
DAISAKU IKEDA Entertain FIDEL CASTRO,

Ikeda has been able to combine his need to belong, with the needs of political leaders increasingly isolated, as indeed Ceusesku, Noriega and Castro, who had everything to gain by getting all the honors that a leader no less "Buddhist".

In fact in countries subjected to such dictators there was no real religious freedom, and the other democratic rights were violated.

Ikeda, giving credibility to these dictators, he therefore had an accomplice also of their wickedness, disgracing the name and reputation of Buddhism.

Daisaku Ikeda to make credible its image as a pseudo-pacifist committed to the good of mankind, has made extensive use of communications technology that experts call the "halo effect".

It is widely used in advertising and consists in approaching the two objects, two images, two concepts or two people, so that the reputation of the object 1 to be "transferred" in 2.

The most classic example is a famous actor and drinking a nice cocktail. Infuenzerà The sympathy of the character's perception of the aperitif, this is bound to show, through their effect alone, a symbol of success, just as an actor.
The experience of the center of Harvard, we have discussed in this page was already an application of the technique of 'halo effect.

Ikeda has tried to use the same technique when he conceived the ranting campaign IKEDA - GANDHI - MARTIN LUTHER KING "(see photo below).
An unscrupulous Japanese businessmen who dares to approach her figure to that of 2 martyrs of peace and freedom is really an act devoid of any moral scruples!

Ikeda is not just a clever advertising, but also a shrewd diplomat. So the campaign Gandhi-King-Ikeda is not just based on photomontages, but also by distributing generous offer to the Gandhi Institute in Nashville and the ML King Jr. International Chapel in Atlanta.

Obviously it is not easy to make charitable donations and contributions that lavishes Ikeda. For him it's shrewd investments, which have a huge financial fallout on its business and especially on its little-known international brokerage who see the center of a complex network of relationships, including politicians, on whose true nature remains a mystery.

Recently Ikeda curiously enriched his collection of honors with the title of Officer of the Italian Republic. . It would be interesting to know the background of such an unexpected recognition, but knowing how things go in Italy, this episode does nothing but cast further suspicion on the activities of Daisaku Ikeda.

Its very interesting that Daisaku Ikeda was hanging around all of these dictators. He must have been wondering how those guys were able to gain control of a country, and keep control of it for long periods of time, and the methods and techniques they used.

Its also very interesting how SGI-USA has been able to keep Ikeda's connections and meetings with Noriega off so many websites.

How long until the Governor of California is SGI?
SGI really is an almost mind-boggling global cult, and it has not be researched enough.

The prevenseces link is interesting. The (CAIC) Cult Awareness and Information Centre [www.culthelp.info] also has articles on many of these topics: SGI's insurance fraud in Japan, . Watanabe's speech against SGI, the death of the priest Ouhashi. I think that the CAIC's translation is better.

Here's one that I don't remember seeing on the CAIC. It's from [www.prevensectes.com]

Daisaku Ikeda diverts billions of Japanese Yen

Ikeda, with the help of accomplices, may have embezzled more than five billion U.S. dollar fund Gakkai from Japan. Former Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer of the Soka Gakkai, Akira Hosoya, has said that Daisaku Ikeda prevailed in Japan at least 50,000,000 dollars (250 million dollars) when leaving for abroad. The number of times Ikeda realized this is not yet known.

We believe that the money was piled in bags of leaders and accomplices of the Soka Gakkai traveling with Ikeda, and they turned away from Japan in violation of the laws of the Ministry of Finance concerning the transport money liquid.

It was published in the December 1992 edition of the monthly Gendai. We learned that the head of the Women's Division of SGI, Ms. Eiko Akiyama and former Vice President Hosoya discussed it in 1978 when a San Paolo, has the opportunity to dine in a restaurant in the presence of Don Cuuro, the chief priest of the temple Ichijoji, the Rev.. Shoken Mori and his wife.

Hosoya stated: "They divide the money between them and prevail." Steve Gore, former bodyguard of Ikeda, also explained in his statements to the BBC how he was stunned at the sight of huge sums of money they carry with them to make purchases Ikeda objets d'art when traveling abroad.

As Ikeda's gone abroad more than a hundred times, it might have diverted from Japan nearly five billion dollars (25 billion).

--------------------------End of Quote----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steve Gore, a former Young Men's Division leader from California, was quoted in a CAIC article. He spoke of going to Brazil with then-General Director George Williams, and an SGI vice president. There was some problem in a temple in Brazil -- maybe the priest accused of embezzling money? Williams and this vice president put the money, a large sum, in suitcases. Departing Brazil, Williams told Gore to carry a suitcase full of "uncut gems" for him. Unfortunately for Gore, U.S. customs officials stopped him as he entered the United States. They opened the suitcase that Gore was carrying for Williams and it was full of polished gems, set into jewelry. Williams and the vice president walked through customs with the suitcases full of money, while Gore got charged with smuggling.

Anyone who wants to run their own "new religion" or tax-exempt "church" (like SGI Soka Gakkai, Byron Katie, or whatever) might want to have a look at this.
In the Byron Katie thread, there were some fascinating reports.

Apparently each person can carry up to $10,000 cash over the border into the USA.
Seems to be pretty common with these "new religions" and "churches".
Lots of full suitcases moving around.

-----------Beginning of Quote--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clearly, the Soka Gakkai was very interested in children and their education. According to Florence Lacroix (2), this interest in the youth would be "strategic": "As in totalitarian regimes, children are an issue, and structures are created to accompany future followers from the cradle. Soka Gakkai has established a network of education that goes from kindergarten to university in Japan and abroad in certain countries. This is logistics, among others, to ensure its presence in the key area that is education, to develop links with educational institutions abroad prestigious sometimes it can penetrate well, and build an image of respectability, illustrates the challenge posed by children and young people in the eyes of the Soka Gakkai (...)."

Reading the monthly Soka Gakkai France (SGF) "Third Civilization" tells us much about the subject and reveals that "special attention" paid to them.

"Children have the ability to change the world"

It is on this subject that was open, June 5, 1999, "the general meeting of children from Ile-de-France", organized by Soka Gakkai, a major event that would have attracted nearly 700 children accompanied by their parents can read in an article "Third Civilization" (No. 455 of July 99): "Everyone could go with one of his dreams (poem or drawing). Put in an album, they will be sent to President Ikeda. "

Program: Speech of the women responsible for FMS, video interviews with children about peace and a great spectacle inside the Cirque d'Hiver Bouglione. A tale "sound and light" whose heroes are two children who need to recover "the chest of dreams" which was stolen. After many vicissitudes, the trunk was found. Phew! Moral of the story: "You have found the courage that keeps the hope and fulfill its mission." And tomorrow, dear viewers toddlers, what other noble mission are you promised? The article concludes thus: "The meeting ended happily, as it began, with the magic show and more in the eyes of children as the greatest, and premium ice cream and beverages offered by President Ikeda "- Thank who? .

"Raising her children so that they cherish the Soka Gakkai"

Members of Soka Gakkai truly worshiped in Ikeda. This unbounded admiration for the President must be inculcated from an early age, and the role comes naturally to parents.
They must also create in their children strong and lasting links with the organization.
Ikeda, in No. 455 of the monthly "Third Civilization" (July 1999), clearly listing the color, urging parents to educate their toddlers in love ... of the sect: "The important thing is to teach children the spirit to cherish and respect the Soka Gakkai. The ideal is to raise your children so that they cherish our organization. With this spirit, children will grow remarkably [sic]. " "(...) Parents must show by their attitude of mind to respect the Gohonzon and the Soka Gakkai" (...) "It is up to parents to guide their children wisely. It is also important to seek support to Department officials Future (...)."

"Enlighten" the whole family

We know the proselytism which engage the members of Soka Gakkai, whose proselytizing entourage, and therefore the family be the target
No. 1: "In a family, it is only when we overcome the small waves of conflict between those who practice and those who have not yet started, establishing a family harmony that we can reform society sustainable manner. Kosenrufu is built on the basis of the human revolution in each family (D. Ikeda) (3). " Thus, the practitioner must convert all the members of her family: husband, spouse, siblings, and children, of course, no exception to the rule: "It is hoped to awaken in them the desire to practice (D. Ikeda) (4). "
This work at all times. The individual practitioner must persevere and follow the advice of the Master: "It is (...) she decides to be a sun. So there is more darkness in the world, all his family is informed. It is sufficient that a person becomes full of good fortune and to share her blessings with her husband, her children and grandchildren (5). "
The results, undoubtedly, will soon appear, and Ikeda ensure: "With such a determination, inevitably, the rest of the family began to practice (6)."

Your children do they practice?

That is the question posed to parents two practitioners in the magazine "Third Civilization" (No. 459) by November 1999.
Response of the mother: "It's one of my unrealized goals yet, but I persevere."
Father's response: "If they asked, they say Buddhists. They have very strong links with President Ikeda, since childhood. They share ideas and Buddhist philosophy. But they have not yet decided involved. My son, this summer, wanted to absolutely convince me to do some sport. I reminded him that it was time I tried to convince him to recite Nam Myo Renge Kyo. We have therefore established a pact : I run 500 meters and he recited five minutes of daimoku. I, therefore, still a lot of practice to achieve. (Laughter). "

Thus children are cast in the ideology of the sect, soon they will think "Soka" they speak "Soka", as evidence shows that other distressing published in the "Third Civilization" of July 1999 (No. 455) as the

"There is no age to decide"

"Hello, I have 5 ½ years. My parents are practicing and I'm going with them to tell you my experience. (...) I was always sick. (...) There were not two weeks without fire and EMS are at home. (...) I met with doctors, I had tests to finally find a year later, I do not digesting milk or animal protein milk. (...) I decided to be reasonable and to my diet. (...) For three years, recurrent disease have decreased but not completely disappeared. It was difficult to efforts all the time! My parents and I were very tired. They practiced with their friends but it was difficult. daimoku I recited and found another doctor. (...) The results are not failed to appear I was less tired, parents said that I was "combative, more joyous, it worked! In practice, we found a doctor who knew the best treatment for me. Continued 6 months and at the end we won. (...) Now I can eat like everybody else and I'm not sick (...). I do not take my whole life drugs "with many side effects "(...). My parents say" I am now in good health "and that" it is I who influence my environment, (...) and if one learns that someone is sick, it is immediately daimoku for him and you believe! "
The practice, says this young fan (with the help of his parents) gave it the power to overcome the disease, allowing it to find a better doctor, but especially by giving him the will to heal, combativeness the strength to overcome evil. Thus, the recitation of "daimoku" it would also therapeutic?

A mantra which heals everything?

The practice does not replace it advantageously medicine, side effects and less?
If things are not as clearly presented, we can still say that the mixture is carefully maintained in Soka Gakkai publications
"The Gohonzon is the source of all power: Health, Wealth - Influence."
"Nam Myo Renge Kyo is like the roar of a lion. Therefore, what disease might therefore be an obstacle? (7)"
"When we are able to bring out the Nam Myoho Renge Kyo, which is inside us, we can cure any disease."
The danger is not, then, for enthusiasts, the temptation to rely solely on its power?
"Although Soka Gakkai is not exhorting its members to reject the medicine, the systematic use of prayer and belief that" Nam Myoho Renge Kyo "cure-all may suggest that the first instinct of parents followers, when the child is ill, even seriously, is to practice, instead of using (8). "

Dangers of recitation

The recitation of an intensive mantra (sacred formula) is a packaging tool widely used by cults. All specialists cult phenomenon agree that this practice may present a real danger to the psychological balance of an individual, even denouncing these litanies as a phenomenon of "self-hypnosis suggestive" creating addictions that can produce an alienating effect. If such practices are being too daunting for an adult, you can imagine the disastrous effects they can have on the fragile psyche of a child, and one can wonder about their long term.

"The recitation of mantras alone is a powerful element of isolation and marginalization from the world outside. The child who endlessly repeat the formulas that do not (in Japanese) is not required to unlearn the first function of language is to mean? What impact will this have on his ability to grasp and understand the world (9) "
Moreover, disruption of identity and cultural markers that the child will suffer no risk does not have serious impact on his personality under construction?

"And how would build it? The family unit integrated into society in a dynamic interaction, no longer plays its role, its referential function. Parents' Nipponization" (rather than converted to Buddhism) have indeed radically broken with their culture. They have no experience or individual to transmit.
What they had internalized from childhood is repressed. The chain of transmission between generations is broken. Turning his back on his family history, the child may he not grow in an artificial world, opaque, without identitairesl markers (10) "

On eternal persecuted

Members of the Soka Gakkai are animated by a strong sense of persecution. We find in them, as in many sectarian groups, this mentality of "besieged fortress"

"We, members of the IMS, are often attacked and discredited. We must often face hatred and jealousy, in agreement with the Lotus Sutra and the writings of Nichiren Daishonin, who announced the persecution would apply to the practitioner of the Mystic Law. SGI has won one after another, decisive victories in suffering persecution because of his efforts to convey the true teachings of Buddhism is the champion of truth and justice more which are high (Ikeda D) (11). "
Thus, we can not be that WITH or against them in the side of justice and truth, or in error, "which side are you on the side of good or the side of evil? Which of these two roads will you choose for your life? (Ikeda D) (12) "This mentality, firmly rooted in the philosophy of the movement, is even part of its history. From the outset, all those who worked for the transmission of the "proper law" would have had to suffer persecution and external attacks of all kinds. Starting with Nichiren who "chooses to be born in Japan, a country inhabited by people the vilest and the worst [sic], and when the persecution of the Act would be most severe (13)." These were then MM. Makigushi and Toda (successive presidents of the Soka Gakkai), imprisoned by the military during the Second World War and who "voluntarily gave their lives for the Law (14)."

"Just as the Daishonin's life, the history of the Soka Gakkai is one of great persecution. Each of these persecutions mission proves very pure SGI and has allowed the development it is today (15)"

Establishment of a reversed reasoning that tends to strengthen membership of the follower within the movement: I am attacked because I am right.

"The persecution of Nichiren Daishonin was targeted prove the correctness of his teaching (16)."
Resist external attack would fit well in the very nature of Buddhism: "Spreading the Act may be themselves imprisoned or martyred, is the essence of Buddhism (Ikeda D) (17)."
"Meet the persecution is to meet the Buddha (Ikeda D) (18)."

Raised "fashionable soka"

How the child bathed in such a climate of paranoia live there compared to the other, "other" too often portrayed as malicious persecutors?

And how will he learn his tolerance in such an organization? An organization that rejects other religions (including other Buddhist schools). An organization that demonizes the same momentum state, the press and media, and all those who criticize or otherwise issue a "neither the media nor the people will make efforts to discover the truth. They content to a maximum of noise (D. Ikeda). " (19)

Outside the organization, no truth, no hello.

"The unconditional veneration of" Master ", the exclusive study of his works, the form of repetitive practice lead to enslavement of the mind (or critical), a confinement within the group to remove any opening d other sources of information and monopolizes every kind of relationship. "
This indoctrination, denounced by Bernard Fillaire in his book "The Great brain-softening" (20), will certainly have an impact on child development. And there is concern that child is raised "fashionable soka" becoming, rather than an adult and responsible citizen, a perfect little soldier entirely devoted to the cause.

But is it not precisely the goal?

Young children getting indoctrinated into this notion of writing to President Ikeda....and that Ikeda sends ice cream to their meetings. The father who said that his children had a strong link to Ikeda...he's happy and proud that his kids have links to a total stranger? Children shouldn't feel a tie to a manufactured image of a stranger; they should feel ties to family, and friends, not a fantasy image of a total stranger. Chanting cured the child of his or her inability to digest milk? No, finding a decent doctor did that....children whose families don't chant manage to get proper medical care and become overcome health problems. And "I decided to be reasonable and to my diet."? Huh? What five-year old talks that way?

It's just sad to think of innocent young children being indoctrinated in SGI's paranoia, intolerance, anger, and Ikeda worship.
