Here is a scathing socio-religious commentary on the Soka Gakkai. If it is not appropriate for this forum, please remove it.

The Fawning, Flattering, Ignorant, Deceitful High Paid Senior Leaders of the Soka Gakkai and their Foolish Followers
Pass the Doobie an SGI leader writes on Chanter Growers Group:
(Unlike you Mark! You are simply a slanderer! But I pray for your happiness as I should. Do you for mine? The honest answer to that question reveals who you really are.)
Mark:
"Here you listen to my good words and think them wicked, point to a slanderer of the Law and call him a sage, mistrust a correct teacher and take him for an evil priest. Your confusion is great indeed, and your offense anything but light."
You may cut and paste as many Gosho passages as there are stars in the sky, pass along as many guidances of Daisaku Ikeda as there are sands of ten thousand Ganges rivers, chant one billion Daimoku, convert as many people to the Soka Gakkai as there are seedlings of hemp, and still, you will fall into the Lower Realms.
I say this because you support evil men, abandon Nichiren Daishonin, the Lotus Sutra, and Shakyamuni Buddha. Nichiren foresaw that such groups as the Soka Gakkai would emerge in the future and he wrote:
"They entirely look up to groups of icchantikas and rely on them as
leaders and, reverencing blasphemers against the Dharma, make
them national teachers.Taking up the Classic Filial Piety of Confucius,
they beat their parents' heads and, while chanting the Lotus Sutra
of Lord Shakya with their mouths, they go against the Master of
teachings." -- Letter to the Tonsured Layman Soya
You have abandoned Nichiren Daishonin and his faith for the twisted faith of Nichikan and the Three Presidents. Nichiren has this to say about you and your high salaried senior leaders.
"Sho-bo, Noto-bo, and the lay nun of Nagoe were once Nichiren’s disciples. Greedy, cowardly, and foolish, they nonetheless pass themselves off as wise persons. When persecutions befell me, they took advantage of these to convince many of my followers to drop out. If you allow yourself to be so persuaded, those in Suruga who seem to believe in the Lotus Sutra, as well as the others who are about to take faith in it, will all discard the sutra without exception."
The five hundred thousand or more human beings in the USA you gave Gohonzon and abandoned their faith: Do you think it was their fault or your leaders fault for turning the most noble religion on earth into a personality cult, these sincere Bodhisattvas of the Earth unable to continue to believe? Was it these new and old members fault, the excesses of your grimy leaders and the abject hatred you and the Nichiren Shoshu brought forth? Whose fault was it, these sincere neophyte Bodhisattva seekers of the Way or your fatally flawed President and his dirty salaried minions who call all the shots, fail to reflect, and suck the very life out of the Buddha's children? Do you really think your smile and pat on the back of these Buddha sons and daughters can possibly change the reality that is SGI, the vacuity of your faith? Do you really think you can abandon and denigrates the Master, Lord Shakya of the Original Doctrine, the Three Bodied Tathagata and remain unscathed?. Would these people have abandoned the Lotus Sutra in droves had you embraced the Buddha instead of Daisaku Ikeda, received guidance from the Buddha rather than your flawed, shallow, greedy, and ignorant leaders?
Nichiren goes on to say,
"There are a few in this province of Kai who have expressed their desire to take faith. Yet I make it a rule not to permit them to join us unless they remain steadfast in their resolve."
Yet you continue to give out Gohonzons like Las Vegas escort fliers, demon infested Taisekaji Gohonzons. One would have thought your Buddha of the Modern Age and his high priced male hookers of the Dharma would have learned their lesson and procured a copy of Master Nichiren's Gohonzon[in form AND spirit].
Nichiren Daishonin continues:
"Some people, despite their shallow understanding, pretend staunch faith and speak contemptuously to their fellow believers, thus often disrupting the faith of others."
Who might Nichiren be referring? You and the other faithless SGI leaders who denigrate the believers and True Priests of the other Nichiren sects? You and the other faithless leaders who claim they have attained what they have not and give shallow self-serving guidance contrary to Nichiren who explicitly teaches we should seek guidance from the Master of teachings, Lord shakya of the Original Doctrine?
Lastly, Nichiren concludes this passage:
"Leave such people strictly alone. The time will certainly come when, by the workings of Brahma, Shakra, and other gods, the entire Japanese nation will simultaneously take faith in the Lotus Sutra. At that time, I am convinced, many people will insist that they too have believed since the very beginning."
We have been telling the disciples and believers all along to leave you alone but many will not heed our appeals. Still, we are joyous to believe Nichiren Daishonin's prophecy that the entire Japanese nation will simultaneously take faith and at that time, you too and the other faithless Soka Gakkai leaders will claim to have believed from the very beginning.
You took up the slanderous faith of Taisekaji at the urging of Makiguchi and Toda and therefore, you were never faithful disciples of Nichiren Daishonin even from the very beginning. Yes, I will chant for you despite being so cowardly that you won't let me respond on your site. Likewise, you are greedy because you won't let me compete for the hearts and minds of the people in your group, allowing me to correct you. It would go a long way were you to post my response on the Chanting Growers group or were you to come here and discuss the issues. I don't see it happening.
Nichiren says of you and your leaders,
Answer: According to the sutra text, the votaries of the Lotus Sutra in the Latter Day of the Law, who are so faithful in upholding the sutra that they are hated by others, are the true priests of Mahayana. They are the teachers of the Law who will propagate the Lotus Sutra and bring people benefit. As for priests who are thought well of by others, who go along with other people’s desires and so come to be revered, one should regard them as the enemies of the Lotus Sutra and as evil influences to the world. A sutra passage likens persons of this type to a hunter who spies sharply about him as he stalks a deer, or to a cat who hides its claws as it creeps up on a mouse. In just such a way, we are told, do they flatter, deceive, and mislead the lay men and women.'
In another writing, Nichiren could well be speaking about your Mentor and his Directors and Vice Presidents,
"Greedy for profit and support, they will preach the Law to white-robed laymen and will be respected and revered by the world as though they were arhats who possess the six transcendental powers."
who are these "white robed laymen"? Orlando Bloom, Herbie Hancock, Roberto Biaggi, and the other rich and famous who have personal audiences with the king...I mean president while the poor abused common folk are cleaning his toilets, answering his phones, and sweeping the floors of his sacred "temples and stupas" for nothing. The deference paid to the these white robed laymen by Ikeda and the top senior leaders is nothing short of fawning and flattery.
And then we read still more about your leaders,
"We also find persons who, though they receive offerings openly, being greedy, never share them with others."
How much have you earned for your efforts? Nothing while your top leaders are earning mid six figures salaries to do the very same "Buddha" work that you do for free. These men are not Nichiren Daishonin, shivering in the snow and living off of grass and brachen. They are neither deserving of your reverences nor deserving of alms. How very foolish of you to to praise them and give them your money and worse, you bring these poor innocents into the meat grinder that is the SGI. You should be ashamed and afraid.
You are just just like those disciples who abandoned Nichiren Daishonin,
"Yet with the lay nun of Nagoe, Sho-bo, Noto-bo, Sammibo, and the like, who are cowardly, unreasoning, greedy, and doubting, my words have no more effect than pouring water on lacquer ware or slicing through air."
Still, I will try again and again for your sake and the sake of the new believers to try and help you believe in the Sutra and the words of Nichiren Daishonin rather than the faithless teachings of Nichikan and Ikeda.
