It would help me to understand why SGI members are so eager to abandon the teachings of the eternal Buddha Shakyamuni. Especiall thise who have been around for 20 or more years.
It seems that they/we(SGI) have moved beyond looking to the teachings of Nichiren (which are based upon the Buddha's teachings) to a whole new system of thought that should be called Ikedism. For this reason I am leaving SGI and moving towards being a Nichiren Shu practioner. ________________________________ From: Nancy Rogow <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sun, May 30, 2010 4:10:17 PM Subject: Re: [GohonzonForum] Re: [The Bible of Shakubuku] supervised by Taisaku Ikeda, SGI Dear Greg: The Japanese Vice General Directors probably have a copy in their libraries. Unsure if it has been completely translated into English. It is only fifty or so pages. It is referenced by independent sources such as Christian missionaries to Japan in the late fifties and early sixties. I don't have the time to research it for you but I have seen such references. What would it explain to you?

But I keep seeing this referenced on web sites. If there is actually such a publication and the quotes are correct this could explain a lot for me. --- In GohonzonForum@ yahoogroups. com, "Jerry" <nowatzke60130@ ...> wrote: > > Such a title is very odd for a Buddhist related sect.
