Sampling of really bad guidance

SGINichirenGohonzonPractice

Here's a stash of "guidance in faith" that's sure to turn you into a sheep. This festival of stinko is attributed to "SGI Vice President Kawai, or Mr. Kawai's guidance in faith, conveyed by Mr. Noro, based on President Ikeda's guidance." Including SGI chestnuts such as:

...The leader went on to say that President Toda's guidance was that when we determine that the only one thing we can trust is the gohonzon, then the body begins to recover from sickness....

...When our life philosophy is polluted by slander, and impurities then our life cannot produce its healing power....

...She was asked "do you think that your disease can be cured?" She replied "No!" "So then that is your desire. Your state of mind and that is why the answer from the Gohonzon is - - no cure!" replied the senior leader....

...One should never criticize leaders. Right or wrong, one should not complain at all. Instead, one can chant for them to grow and one will benefit from that too....

When I read stuff like this, I can glimpse tiny grains of Nichiren Buddhism mixed in with a whole bunch of fanatical faith-healer shit. This is an example of what I'm talking about when I say Nichiren Buddhism and SGI Buddhism are two very different things.
