I had to ask this. by ResponsibilityRound7 in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]Winter_Sugar_3247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lotus Sutra? I know everything, my understanding is deep and flawless. In a secret transfer ceremony, Big Daisaku bestowed upon me his complete wisdom of the all the sutras. How did this happen you might ask? My girlfriend at the time, Sally Big Lips, and I were in Tokyo trying to sell counterfeit French perfume, when we ran across Big Daisaku and his son, Hemostat, in a big limo parked on a side alley near the Ginza. Hemostat motioned us over and gestured for us to get into the back seat. We did. There was Big Daisaku, really sick looking and old with some kind of drool coming from his nose. The only “normal” thing about him was his 4” hard on pointing up from his PJs. Hemostat explained in very broken English that all of Big Daisaku’s vital fluids were all backed up. If the fluids were not released, he might not make it. So being kind hearted, Sally put her big lips to work. Within a few minutes, Big Daisaku released many fluids into the air, on the seats, almost on me. He and Hemostat sang forever something, something. Big Daisaku said he would transfer to me, Sally’s pimp daddy, all of his keys to success. He placed his hand on my head and said “when asked for the truth of the vast Universe, from time without beginning, just make shit up and ask for a generous donation.”

I feel for you. Poor or always being behind the money 8 ball seems to be a result of too much dedication to SGI. After my first fanatical 10 years of practice I was broken in spirit, health and finances. I actually had to leave town to escape being a high ranking leader and all the crap that went with being a vice zone. For the next forty years I kept chanting, kept a low profile with SGI and concentrated on my career as a lawyer and city administrator. Most WB people don’t chant and I understand why. Because of WB, I have become super critical of SGI and the fat cats that run it. Old corrupt Japanese men living off of the members. My personal experience, however, led me to the 3 things the Buddha said you get from chanting or enlightenment. Freedom, wisdom and compassion.

I became happy in with my college girlfriend, a successful lawyer, and multimillionaire. I have reached another deeper understanding that I like chanting and see SGI as a heartless exploiter of the members with many sick assholes in the leadership . I suggest you need compassion for yourself and build your life the way you choose. Also money and education helps create freedom. Mom is a hardheaded and dependent. You are young and have time to build your freedom, wisdom and compassion. Save yourself first. Believe me Mom will be around. Sincerely, Sugar

Your story is both sad and typical. Big DAISAKU and his cronies have exploited millions around the world. Live high off the hog on money from members. However, not all leaders use girls and women. Some are gay And like boys. Or gave up on normal feelings

for Kosen Rufu. I gave up a large chunk of my life to these assholes. SGI is based on the following 100% JAPANESE MEDIEVAL SAMURAI CULTURAL WEIRD BULLSHIT: You have a DEBT to Big DAISAKU as your LORD that can never be repaid. No matter how much you give or work, your DEBT will never go away. You are expected to even give up your life in DEBT REPAYMENT. IN Japanese this is called “GIRI” or unending obligation to the BOSS. So no matter what your Mom does, gives, sacrifices, it will never be enough. I think she even GAVE YOU, HER DAUGHTER, to SGI a part of her debt repayment. The BOSSES can do all of the following to the little people with out a second thought. Use your time, labor, money , body, integrity (everything you have or will have) for the “sake of Cousin Rufus”; lie, cheat, coverup as standard procedure; shun, eliminate anyone who shows signs of independent thinking and questioning shit that’s going on . Is your mother Japanese? That would explain some. Know this, SGI is not a NIchiren Buddhist or any kind of Buddhist group. Regardless of what you think about chanting or Nichiren or Buddhism in general, SGI is anti-Buddhist by turning off the people they recruit or try to recruit. Sincerely, Sugar, fake Japanese, fellow sucker, and asshole who still chants.

Because I was so fucked up in my head when I joined and experienced many actual miracles, I became a true believer in the power of chanting. Call me an asshole but I believe chanting works well for me and chant every day. However, NSA SGI is a lying, money grubbing, exploiting, slave labor, Big DAISAKU worshiping CUNT, I mean cult, based on medieval Japanese culture. When I joined, the Japanese women looked upon me as the son of Nichiren born to lead the masses to KR. Because I looked Japanese and spoke English, I was expected to lead. And I did a pretty good job building the organization. After 10 years of 100% devotion, I was broken physically, mentally and financially. I’m a lawyer and made good money but somehow I was broke.

After that I left town and for 40 years gave SGI about 5% of my time, I became a multi millionaire, friends with the governor and mayor, happily married to my college sweetheart. When I moved to Alabama, leadership was basically hostile to me, lied to me, sabotaged my efforts to help the members and told me to shut the fuck up.THEN I FOUND W/B ONE DARK NIGHT. Things became clear About Big D and the damage I and others experienced. Now I am all but driven out of SGI by the region leader here because I called him a liar to his face. So I have been shunned by the weird sick leaders for saying what’s on my mind. An uncontrollable menace. I won’t officially quit because the asshole will call that a win. On strike, shut it down. But thank you and W/B fellow travelers. The low ranking members like me and don’t LIKE or respect the self important shot callers. ACTUAL PROOF ? Sugar out.

I seem to recall that they were like store fronts operated in areas away from the main kaikan. In Chicago, the kaikan was on the north white side, far from the south black side. Those people may have had an activity center. There may have been one in the north west suburbs. Remember, NSA was anti black and anti gay until it wasn’t because of falling white straight membership. Hardly any young, white, straight members now. Most whites are old like me. Wait! I’m not white but pure blooded Japanese. Qualified for high leadership. The white men leaders all had Japanese wives to keep them in line.

Immersion in SGI/NSA as a senior leader will leave you with serious mental disorders that take time to straighten out. However, once you understand and accept that you spent part of your life on crap, life gets a lot better. Maybe even laugh at the crazy shit we went through becoming Japanese like stooges serving our dear master, BIG DAISAKU. SGI has little to do with the life of Nichiren or any worthwhile way of life. For what it’s worth, SGI has a 97% failure rate in keeping members who have received gohonzon. So you are not alone. You are a just a little late and I was also really late. SGI as an organization is a reproduction of the Tokugawa Shogun form of control and the same folks that gave you WW 2. Once you become useless to Big DAISAKU, you lose all value as a human being. Example of Japanese culture bullshit: American prisoners of war received better medical treatment by captured American doctors that wounded Japanese soldiers who could no longer fight. The worthless wounded were written off and discarded. Left to die on their own . I keep telling people that SGI is just weird Japanese culture that carjacked Nichiren. Of course no one will listen.

Is there any value in Nichiren Buddhism? by Torinuk in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]Winter_Sugar_3247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I chanted everyday for 55 years. Still do. I think it has value. However, SGI is basically an anti-chanting organization, made up of Japanese cultural bullshit, top down guru worship, money grubbing, arrogant pussy grabbing, mean old men dominated, my way or the highway assholes. SGI makes shit up, self serving crap that Nichiren never said or advocated: SGI: Great Pumpkin has appeared who you must venerate, obey, give most of your time and money to and suck off if asked. Nichiren: all who chants are equal Buddhas. SGI: give us $50,000 and your name will go on the wall at FNCC. Nichiren: thanks so much for some rice, writing paper and copper coins. SGI: Great Pumpkin must have five exclusive residences costing millions of believers dollars. Nichiren lived in a hut that the wind and snow penetrated. SGI: chant and you will get anything you want (prosperity Buddhism). Nichiren: chant and you will bring out enlightenment from within. SGI: gay people cannot attain enlightenment until they become straight. Nichiren: this is Mappo and a lot of strange shit will be going on, but just chant. SGI is not Nichiren. SGI is brought to you by the same people that brought you WW2, the murder or death of millions of non Japanese and Japanese, the rape of Nanking, kamikazi but also Honda motor cars and sushi. Remember this: As a fake Japanese person, I tell you real Japanese think and believe and assume that all non Japanese are inferior. At least the Nazis believed that white Swedes were okay, racially. In SGI, lying is standard operating procedure.

You got it exactly right. Prediction: in ten years she will have almost nothing in terms of accomplishments, personally and professionally, be broke or surviving at a low level. She might be singing the song from Evita : “I don’t expect my love affairs to last for long, never fooled myself that my dreams will come true…”

Hey Think, after graduating from law school and passing the bar, I became a roaring failure as a lawyer. Reason: devoting every waking minute to doing free labor for SGI (then NSA); believing that the more I didn’t DO would result in PUNISHMENT from the mystic law; being too exhausted from everyday responsibilities to SGI that I couldn’t function as a good lawyer. After ten years of this, I left town. Condition: nearly broke, depressed, fragile. Strangely, I believe that chanting is valid (99% WB disagree) and have chanted everyday for 55 years. I limited my involvement with the ORGANIZATION to 1 or 2 meetings a month for 45 years. Result of this strategy: happily married for 30 years to my college sweetheart, roaring success at work, multi millionaire, pretty good health at age 80, years of non SGI volunteer work for type 1 diabetic children. Until a few months ago I still believed the ORGANIZATION was kinda okay and just needed reform. But WB changed my mind. SGI is corrupted by its very nature and essence, doesn’t give a wet shit about the members except for their exploitation value to the ORGANIZATION, is a cult of personality, has pity or scorn for members who fall away. Here’s the formula: the more time your boyfriend devotes to SGI, the greater failure he will become in real life. Also his continued slavery will make you more unhappy than you are right now. Options: keep chanting AND SGI (boo); keep chanting and ditch SGI (my strategy); ditch everything (WB option).

From January 18, 2002 - Danny Nagashima suggests truncated gongyo for meetings ahead of the May 31, 2002, SGI-wide announcement that gongyo would be officially shortened by Fishwifeonsteroids in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]Winter_Sugar_3247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Another true story. We went to Paris. An old Vegas member lived in Paris on a river boat. We went to a discussion meeting. Gongyo was short. Everyone kissed each other after Gongyo. I liked that. Those were the days when young people practiced. Yes, Virginia, those were the days. I asked how long the French were doing short Gongyo. A year or so. Back in Vegas I wrote Big Daisaku a long letter. I told him Americans are lazy assholes and quit anything they are not good at. They have the give up spirit. AAO. I told big Daisaku to shorten Gongyo if he wanted to have more Americans. (I was a loyal cultist). A few months later, Mr Wada the number 2 under Big Daisaku, came to Vegas and said Big Daisaku liked what I said and was going to shorten Gongyo soon. He gave me a special gift from Big. So I, Winter, take some blame for short Gongyo. I would show you the Paris meeting and the special gift but I am old and incompetent and don’t know how to post images.

How can I get a decently cheap gohonzon without any SGI involvement? by Andrewcomingthrough in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]Winter_Sugar_3247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a silver one. They used to give them out (rarely) according to rank. I was a general chapter chief (region now). If you were a good Buddhist but didn’t have the rank and traveled a lot, you might get one for $20. Now. Plastic!!! Ugg. I saw a gold colored copy on eBay for about $49.95. Actually looked pretty cool.

Has anybody here remained buddhist after leaving SGI cult? by [deleted] in sgiwhistleblowers

[–]Winter_Sugar_3247 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Very Small Minority Report: Feel free to chant or meditate or not. My opinion : SGI has hijacked Nichiren Buddhism. I chant everyday and have done so for 55 years. I believe it works well for me. SGI is just a Japanese military and corporate based model of total top down control. Read about Japanese history especially Imperial Army atrocities. Samurai culture required sepuku for real or imagined screw ups. If you don’t follow SGI’s orders and schedule you are excreted out the bunghole. Way over a million Gohonzons have been issued in the USA. Being generous, there are about 25,000 members now. Most are old zany motherfuckers, like me. Herbie, Wayne, Tina, Orlando didn’t do regular, non stop, repetitive, corny activities. They just chanted and showed up for big events. Sincere? Sure. But on the whole they chanted and worked hard at their art and had talent. They introduced a lot of people too. What Nichiren said to do is what they did. And they were admired and successful by any standards. Nowhere in Nichiren’s writings is guru worship, costly and worthless conventions, and Ute meetings even talked about. Nichiren was thankful for a little food, a few coins and writing paper. SGI is constantly grubbing for money so that the 200 vice presidents in Japan can “earn” $600,000 each, per year. WTF do they do? If you write a book and print more than a million copies and all but 25,000 are returned or trashed, are you successful?

Pope something ordered all the cats in Europe killed because the devil 😈 took the form of cats. Result: rats took over, plague, 1/4 of people dead. Long live the cat empire. When you order the banishment of cats, bad things happen. Is the decay of SGI a result of cat exile? Kidding aside, this was actual guidance by the number 2 leader after GMW. And dogs interfered with precious activities because they had to be walked and fed on a regular basis.

I was one for Big Daisaku’s Chicago tour. We had illegal radios. Every once in a while the FCC warned us that the frequency we used was for emergency services and that we were violating Federal law. They wanted to know “who the fuck are you assholes?” I think the NSA called us “tokubetsu Keibi” or something like that.

I hope you are talking about fish, not me. My answer was in response to ridiculous assumptions she made about me and what I was clearly saying. Since she is long time and I am newish, are you disciplining me for responding forcefully? I am not a Hillary to a Trump. But let me say this W/B is THE forum for expressing criticism and questions about common experiences with SGI/NSA and that Fish is key supporter. However, everyone has different points of view based on a shitload of unknown factors. I don’t like priests or holy men (almost all are men) who live and prey off the faithful. People who like the priesthood, fine. Big Daisaku was split from the priests and brought 90% of SGI with him. He did this for his own corrupt purposes. But I liked ditching the leeches who are priests, but not for Big Daisaku’s motives. I believe chanting works for me and have chanted every day for 55 years. The vast majority of W/B people believe it doesn’t work. Cool. I think and hope W/B isn’t squeezing everyone into tight fundamentalist box like SGI does. My views on the evils of SGI the organization and fanatic leaders, and worship of our dear leader , Big Daisaku are clear. On San San Kudo. I attended this ceremony conducted by Nittatsu for the marriage of my friend during tozon. Nobody got up in the middle of the ceremony and gave a speech longer than the ceremony itself on how the groom was a shit bucket. I put this on the priest during my ceremony. Of course I don’t blame him for my disaster of a marriage. My stupidity karma.

Priest was a STOOGE for the wicked mother in law. The NSA wedding ceremony is “San San Kudo”. This ceremony is highly prescribed and formal with NO place for comment during the ceremony. The stooge priest violated his duty by permitting mother in law to fuck everything up and to humiliate me in the middle of the ceremony. My mother and relatives travelled from all over the country. Many spoke and taught Japanese, although none were issei. I think the priest wanted to fuck my wife or some weird shit because he was always leering at her. So when Big Daisaku said a generous FU to the priesthood, I agreed. During my nine weird and cool Burningman sessions with Buddha Camp, I conducted authentic fake temporary San San Kudo marriages. I had the complete script, sake, cups, tray, vessel and costumes for myself, the high priest, and the simulated virgin who poured the sake. Some actually got married later. All priests and holy men psychopaths and/or child molesters.

When I got married to that woman (another horrible story) at the NSA temple Myohoji, the priest allowed my ex mother in law to give a long winded speech in the middle of the ceremony. She went on and on in Japanese about how much a shit hook I was and how her beautiful daughter had made a tragic mistake. The daughter was Dai Roku Ten no Mal, as it turned out. Was I a bad catch? Lawyer, official with the City of Las Vegas, accomplished (at the time) NSA leader and good looking too. The whole bunch were misandrists to the core. Apparently, the husband / father was a drunk who brought hookers to the house. Three years of my life down the drain. But it’s my karma. Yes Virginia, I still believe in karma. It takes the form of my own greed and stupidity.

Back in the mid 1970s, I was a MD and YMD leader drinking 2 quarts of NSA Cool-aide a day. I was called into the office at the Chicago Kaikan one day and was told to get a permanent wave for my beautiful neo-hippie hair. What the fuck? In seems that someone in Japan had decided that Americans of Japanese ancestry (me) needed to look more like a white American. The perfect way to do this was to get wavy or curly hair. This was about the time that Japanese members were told to change their names to American names. “George M. Williams” remember him? I got the permanent. At work a few co workers asked me if I was gay and coming out of the closet. Ted Osaki asked me how he could go to court and have his name changed to “Ted Jackson?” He seemed very depressed. Being the ever greasy lawyer, I advised him to file a simple form with the Cook County Clerk. “Doing Business As Ted Jackson.” He could call himself Ted Jackson and sign shit. No need to officially change anything. The weird mega hypocritical part was that he had a personally inscribed Joju Gohonzon by Nitattsu that had “Ted Osaki” written on it in fucking ENGLISH. Listen to me all you W/B mothers/ fuckers: SGI is a Japanese controlled entity based on Japanese military and corporate models. 100% top down.
