NICHIREN SHU... SOKA GAKKAI:

In the 13th century a Japanese, Nichiren, founded a school whose aims are the opposite of Gautama Buddha: To satisfy all desires, because "happy individuals can build a happy world"; with emphasis on acquiring wealth, power, personal happiness, political power...

"Nichiren Shu"

Means "sect of Nichiren"; "Soka Gakkai" (Value Creation Society) is the political active branch that established their own political party in Japan, the "Komei" (Clean Government).

- The religious system is based on the Lotus Sutra and Pure Land: Members chant the "Diamoke" repeatedly with the 108 beads rosary, kneeling before a black box containing the "Gohonzon" (a sacred scroll). The words repeated in the Diamoke are "glory to the lotus sutra of the mystical law". Reincarnation is the basic doctrine. - Ten million people with 200,000 Americans are performing this ceremony each day with the promise of world peace, and abolition of wars, with the eventual goal of world domination through political power. - It is a School full of idolatry and the denying of Buddha's basic Teachings...


"FOLK" BUDDHISM:

Besides the "official" Buddhism, there is the "Folk" Buddhism, very popular. It is "animistic", with magic to spell spirits and devils, with many gods, divination, witchcraft... and it is lived with Taoism, Confucianism, Shintoism...
