Importance of Soka Gakkai

Importance of Soka Gakkai

Mr Toda used to say that the Soka Gakkai is an organization functioning in accord with the Buddha's intent, and even called it 'Soka Gakkai Buddha'. 

By taking kosen-rufu as our personal mission and uniting with our fellow members, we become a part of 'Soka Gakkai Buddha' and open the way to realizing indestructible happiness. 

"I hope that all of you will remain in this wonderful organization of the Soka Gakkai, and confidently continue to forge ahead on the great path of human revolution". 

The correct practice of Nichiren Buddhism is found only in the Soka Gakkai. Shinichi was firmly convinced that it was by practicing within the Soka Gakkai that one could enjoy the benefits of faith, fundamentally transform one's life state and attain Buddhahood in this lifetime. 

Lastly, he said let's continue to study the Daishonin's writings and base ourselves on the Gosho. When we look at everything from the perspective of faith in the light of the Gosho, there is nothing to fear."

But it's not true. It was founded on the doctrines, principles, and practices of the Nichiren Shoshu, not the Lotus Sutra Buddhism of
Nichiren. I don't expect that you will publish this comment. Therefore ,it is for your edificatilon.
