One person said before Soka and Nichiren Shoshu are not real Buddhism because they don't ask people and followers to lead a simple living! They encouraged wealthy bosses to carry on their difficult businesses to strike harder and richer to gain "happiness" but such "happiness" is related to money and wealth. More money they have more fears and worries they have, so where's the true "happiness"? During the Shayamuni Buddha's time even kings were encouraged give away their power and kingdoms to join the Buddha in practice so to wake up to the true Buddhist wisdoms! During Nichiren Daishonin's time, even Shoguns were encouraged to give up their swords and rivalry in politics to join Nichiren in practice, what they had was a simple life, Nichiren needed to beat freezing bitter cold winter on Sado Island. But today the Nichiren religion especially Soka's members to struggle for more headaches, pressures, problems yet still urging them look for more wealth, what for? They forget to study Buddhist histories to lead a simple life! This should be true path and happiness for all global Buddhists!! Nichiren had this to say in Gosho, "And when you are happy, you should remember that your happiness in this life is nothing but a dream within a dream, and that the only true happiness is that found in the pure land of Eagle Peak, and with that thought in mind, chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo."
In Buddhism all people are equal, but to Soka and Nichiren Shoshu they seem to forget this principle, instead abusing others saying we slandering them! If Buddhists are equal, we do not need to bow and kowtow towards their leaders! We do not need donate to feed them and arouse their greed up to punish others! Buddhism supposes to be FREE of charge! Why build those luxurious temples and Soka cultural centers? So that they can benefit from building costs? You know donation to build temples and centers they benefited? Just follow Nichiren's teaching to practice your own and to tell other people the good benefits from practicing, these should be enough!!
Also a note of caution, urging Soka leaders stop telling to chant Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo will have a happy life in the next life-times and should return study Gosho of Nichiren Daishonin, which here quoted, "When the world makes you feel downcast, you should chant Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, remembering that, although the sufferings of this life are painful, those in the next life could be much worse." From Gosho ~~The Fourteen Slanders. Who told Soka leaders can use the Gosho words to twist its meaning? They have created slanders themselves!
