and of course not just SGI does this to people.
It looks like EVERY single sect and cult does the exact same thing.
They give their followers a FALSE belief that _______ will solve your problem.
But _______ does NOT.
So then you need more coaching, books, programs, seminars, and to give more donations.
LGAT seminar do the same thing, so they have a customer for life, who never improves. Perfect.
They set people up to fail intentionally.
As well, us humans seem to be superstiitious by nature, and they exploit that.
SGI-chanting cannot solve any problem, the avoidance will make it worse.
Like if we don't have a job, SGI-chanting is not going to do anything! But going to see a career counselor to do some planning and research, then getting your stuff together, and applying for jobs everyday, and doing 50 other things, might actually help get that job. At least you are trying to do something about it.
But when people are fed the FALSE-BELIEF that SGI-chanting or _______ will work, then instead of doing what needs to be done, the person sits on their knees and chants, and thinks a job is going to walk up to their door.
Its a self-delusion.
Like if your DVD player broke, and you wanted a new one, but didn't want to buy one.
If you are a SGI-chanter, you might chant for a few weeks, and then one day a DVD player is in the stairwell of your building...a MIRACLE!
No.
Because a non-chanter also realizes people put their working old DVD players out for others, and if you keep out an eye, you might see one.
You notice what you are looking for.
SGI is just a very primitive yet sophisticated con-job.
And many many other sects and cults use the same techniques.
I knew one SGI believer who used to CHANT over his old CAR so it would not break down!
Of course, it would break down all the time on the road, and cost MORE in towing as instead of chanting for his car, he should have saved his cash, and taken the car to a mechanic to get it fixed.
SGI is installing delusions, and even "insane" delusions in some of their followers.

"So in that sense, SGI-chanting is very damaging.
Because instead of doing what needs to be done, some SGI people chant."
I can attest, I've seen this very thing happen, over and over again, with many members in the cult. It's a crutch for them to go on "avoiding" the problem, while believing that they are actually doing something to fix it.
This kind of behavior is just plain stupid, pathetic and sad.
