The Soka group, formerly part of Nichiren priesthood group claims to be a Buddhism for your daily life and uses Human Revolution to change your life. But fact is the Soka group is more superstitious just like any other religions, because the Soka group also attract and accept other religious followers to join them! But these new converts don't bother to use Human Revolution concepts to change their lives, so they will merge the practices of both their original religious practice and Nichiren Buddhist practice. Example how to place Butsudan in your home? They will use back their old religious practice sayings, Oh, should be in the center of the living hall, and the word "Myo" is to be seen above your heads! If Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo reflection of your life in the Gohonzon so it must be equal position with you!! How can it be above you? Shows they respect Gohonzon as God! Very true as they will bow toward Gohonzon every time they enter as seems Gohonzon is like a God to them! Then it's not Buddhism. The same godly respect they place for their President as though he is a godly messenger from the "heavenly" Gohonzon, is untouchable and cannot be offended!! Buddhism is reason. Where's the reason?
When you join Soka group you will hear many superstitious stories they called Testimonials the resulting fruits from practicing Nichiren Buddhist practice. One such testimonial by a middle aged lady said while chanting the fire to boil water would stop immediate thanking the Gohonzon for this act or else the whole home would be burned down! But she never realized it maybe the wind from window blown off the fire! Testimonial by adult male leader said his cancer can be immediate cured after chanting many hours and to the big surprise of his doctor. But why he got this cancer which was a big secret, as he played Chinese Mahjong game every night gamble money making him really fallen sick so need to admit into hospital. If he have given up gambling and slept earlier maybe he did not need to see the doctor that often and maybe he's a much healthier person. If Buddhism is all about reasons and not superstitions then Soka group leaders must have taught them the correct ways of life to live healthier, study to upgrade themselves so to think logically with scientific reasons and not to think superstitiously!
