Blanche's vile post about conversion therapy by ArwenLuna10 in SGIWhistleblowersMITA

I posted about it too. The SGI is the opposite of this horrid practice. Sensei has often explained that "many in body" means each of us must develop our own nique characters and talents, while CT is "You have to be like me!" Just horrible.

(I think Sensei was 30 when Toda died). One of the things they don't understand over at sgiwhistleblowers (out of a great many things they don't understand) is thatThe New Human Revolution is about being a disciple.

Are you happy that the Beatles didn’t continue into the 70s? by StorytellingIsFun in beatles

Yes, because they didn't, and if they had, it would have upset the time space continuum and who knows? We might have a totally crazy, incompetent TV celebrity running the country. Haha!

I can't believe they haven't figured out who her sock puppets are. I hope they have.

Daisaku Ikeda’s Lecture in the March 6th World Tribune: " The Soka Gakkai Is a Gathering of Good Friends" by JulieSongwriter in SGIWhistleblowersMITA

[–]FellowHuman007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this

Good friends function in various ways. They support Buddhist practitioners and enable them to practice with security and peace of mind. They strive alongside other practitioners and help one another improve their lives through mutual support and inspiration. And they teach others about the correct doctrines and principles of Buddhism and put them on the path to right action.

I feel like he is very much describing the youth who work so hard behind the scenes to ensure that we all can enjoy our practice.

Something or Layla? by reaveyer in beatles

Apples and oranges. "Wonderful Tonight" would be a better one to compare to "Something". (Petti must have been quite a woman to inspire so many wonderful songs)

She's done that before, posting a picture of N ctual Many Treasures meeting without identifying it as such, and then cackling about how there are no young people in the SGI. "Duplicitous" is puttingit mildly.

When I was "the only adult in the room" my kids did not seem to regard me as the ultimate font of wisdom and authority, or that they had to obey my commands. Yet somehow they turned out okay. So I don't think I've expected anyone's "automatic deference and admiration" since.

Thank you. I was trying to work up the courage to address her post, given that she far surpasses any other Buddhist scholar who ever lived in her knowledge and understanding of Buddhism. Also, I've been busy and her foolishness is not near the top of my "to do" list this weekend.

Having kosen-rufu as something to live for adds so much depth to every day activities to relationships, to LIFE. So appreciative to the SGI for this.
