The Sad Incidence of a KHS Member’s Suicide
I ask for any help from any Soka member, or any human being to get this page down. Kyoko was not even part of Kempon Hokke, she was a long time friend of my family, and this page has been up on the internet for over 10 years, and every Soka Gakkai Member is OK with it, so now you are outraged with Mark Rogow, how hypocritcal.
You should call your Sensei or cheifs, and say, "hey, get this page down".
NOW.. just before she died, she was hounded by SGI friends at her place of work in Detroit and attended several of their meetings. I don't see anything about that in the report, do you?

Many years ago, the Soka Cockeye in an attempt to discredit anything I did, even went to depths of hell to lie in their reports to gulibale people in their religion who would would swallow anything that would support their fantasy.
I want you to go and check yourself, and see and you will find them say, there is no Gohonzon at Myomanji. I have never said anything up to now, now shown pictures, but unless you have Lying Eyes, here is actual proof:

I tried to fix a glut of errors that Michael Ryuei McCormick has on his Blog, but when I tried to submit the blogs, I received this message:
"Your comment submission failed for the following reasons:
You are not allowed to post comments."
He would rather spread lies and confuse people,
than have people seriously interact with him about
errors. I thought he wanted OPEN DISCUSSION.

At the time, priests of a religion were charging money for a ritual prayer that promised to release a dead relative's soul from hell so he could go to heaven. At one point in the prayer they struck an urn full of stones with a ritual hammer. If the urn broke, and the stones were released, it was a sign that the soul was also released, according to their teaching. Of course, the brittle clay could not withstand the blow of the heavy metal hammer.
A young man, distraught over his uncle's death, went to the Buddha, believing that the Buddha's teaching was a newer, greater form of religion, and asked him for a ritual which would release his uncle's soul. The Buddha told him to obtain two of the ritual urns from the priests, and fill one with butter and and one with stones.
The young man, believing he was about to get a more powerful ritual, was very happy and did as the Buddha said. When he returned, the Buddha told him to place the urns carefully in the river, so that the rim of the urn was just below the surface. Then he instructed him to recite the usual prayer of the priests, and strike both urns under the water with the hammer, at the usual point in the prayer, then come back and describe what happened.
The young man, very excited to be the first person to be given this wonderful new ritual, more effective than the old, did exactly as he was told. On his return, the Buddha asked him to describe what he saw. The young man replied "I saw nothing unusual. When I smashed the urns, the stones sank to the bottom of the river and the butter was washed away on the surface of the river."
The Buddha said "Then you must ask your priests to pray that the butter will sink and the stones will float to the surface!" The young man, shocked by the obvious ridiculousness of this request said "But no matter how much the priests pray, the stones will never float and the butter will not sink."
The Buddha replied, "Exactly so. And, it is the same with your uncle. Whatever good, loving actions he has done during his life will make him rise towards heaven, and whatever bad, selfish actions he has done will make him sink towards hell. And there is not a thing that all the prayers and rituals of the priests can do to alter even a tiny part of the results of his actions!"
All the prayers from all the sects and religions can't do anything for you.

I can remember when I went through a horrible sickness at the end of 1998, and Steve Polito called and said, "I hope you die so I can take over the Kempon", and when his poor kitty cat died he was ready to quit Buddhism, Rogow even gave him money for Kitty funeral expenses, because Sakyamuni was playing a trick on him, and when Nichiren entered his body and told him, that only he can protect the Gohonzon.... enough for me. BTW, Steve was the only person ever to be kicked off the Kempon Mail list, but not out of Kempon ,,, Fred Wolf can verify that. He accused Fred of hacking his site and inserting pictures of Mickey Mouse, he accused Mike Zaccaro of sending him Virus, and blah blah blah.... I have Lamont on tape,,"Kubota is a dirty old priest, and I hope he dies", "I personally know from Marc Strumpf, that Mark Herrick and Bruce Maltz signed a secret deal to destroy the Kempon Hokke", and other pathetic stuff....hey maybe I should make a CD... Best of the Nuts!!! Pollution told Kubota that Senchu Murano gave me a Temple Sized Gohonzon (not true), and when Kubota came to my home he was like a hound on a mission. Stephanie stood up to the fake saint and said, either you be a correct Priest and stand up for the Sutra, or I am leaving your Temple..... We left!!! Tears and begging couldn't bring us back, so they created the fantasy we were kicked out, shades of Gerry Hall telling those in SGI, I left the Cockeye because I joined a Witchcraft Sect.... and this is an indication that the GREAT WONDERFUL LAW makes people happy!!!
I am not afraid of anything Mark Rogow might say, you cannot imagine what has been said already. Ask Rev. Greg. He has been a good friend since 1995. I don’t think sour words have passed between us. I have been accused of everything you name it, the thing is Mark will not debate me on issues or doctrine, he will use things right out of Marc Strumpf’s, or the SGI playbook.
Be a man Mark, get some balls, and let’s talk about what is and what is not in the Lotus Sutra, let’s talk about the issues, convince me you are right, but don’t tell me or shout or threaten me like a religious nutcase, this is not about me or you, we are talking about bringing together all the Bodhisattvas from the Earth, and rejecting the Mara in our minds, accepting the Eternal Buddha in our Minds, and seeing the peaceful world Buddha talks about.
I leave it to you, I cannot control what you do, and I will talk to anyone about doctrine. You can be in any Sect, I don’t care. But, no personal information is to be drawn into the discussion, only serious discussion about the Words of the Eternal Buddha Shakyamuni.
The warm reception to my posting here is overwhelming. People are afraid to post here, they do want to be cast away as junk or have web pages put up about them, as the SGI did to me, or have people hate them and send box loads of letters to Nichiren Shu in Japan. The more one realizes they are a Bodhisattva from the Earth; this fear takes care of itself.
Buddhism is not for fools. Enlightenment is to understand consistently what seems to be a contradiction at a glance to us naive being. Buddhism teaches us that it is A at one time, but another time it teaches it is B. Both A and B are the true aspects of the truth, but People tend to think A and B are not friendly because of their custom monotonous philosophy.
I am not religious, Buddhism is not a religion. There is no such thing as religion in the world, only people who think there is religion. There are people who want you to believe there is religion, and they are a Priests and they want Power over You. It’s all bullshit. None of it is true.
The Lotus Sutra expects us to grow up toward the third dimension and I don’t care what sect you are in, when you die no one is going to ask you, “HEY YOU, STOP, what sect were you in?” But don’t start inventing Human Practices and saying Buddha said this and that. The Bodhisattvas of the Earth are here to spread the Lotus Sutra, remind people they were there, and stop people who are trying to cover the sutra and give you their Human ideas and practice Haibutsu Kishaku.

Nichiren referred to his followers collectively as a
“house” (ichimon) if you could read Japanese
or know kanji you would know this.
It was not a sangha, General Chapter, Nichiren Shu, or the Soka Cockeye.
MALTZ TRYING TO OPEN MORE EYES
ETERNAL Buddha Nature:
".. good man! I take all things as non-eternal. How do I know? Because of the causal relations. If anything arises out of causality, I see them as non-eternal. The Buddha Nature is birthlessness and deathlessness; it is no going, no coming. It is no past, no future, and no present. It is not one that comes out of cause; it is no making of no cause. It is not one made; it is no maker. It is no outer form or not no form; it is not one with a name, nor is it one with no name; it is no name and no matter. It is not long, not short. It is not one come out in five groups, eighteen realms, and twelve spheres. Because of this, we say eternal. The Buddha Nature is the Tathagata; the Tathagata is the Law, and the Law is eternal. Eternal is the Tathagata, the Tathagata are the Bodhisattvas and the Bodhisattvas are eternal.
Because of this, what comes out of cause is not called eternal."
(Nirvana Sutra, Book 13, chapt. 19c,)
Many people feel that the Human Buddha Sakyamuni is a teacher of human life, he devoted his whole life to lead innumerable people, according to their intellectual standard, character and circumstance on the path of the truth. All of Sakyamuni’s guidance to his followers originated in the truth of the Universe in which he attained enlightenment. Nevertheless, Sakyamuni showed his Buddhahood practically for the mass of people in various ways.
“The various sûtras of [the first] forty‑two years set forth matters of good and evil occurring in the dream of birth and death; therefore, they are called provisional teachings. They are the scriptural teachings of preparatory, expedient means, by which the Buddha sought to entice and lead the dreaming beings, in order to startle and rouse them into the waking reality of the Lotûs Sûtra. Therefore, they are called provisional teachings (Sanze Shobutsu Sokanmon Kyoso Hairyu written by Nichiren Daishonin)
Therefore, the Tathagata entered our dream of birth and death, placing himself on the same level as the perverted beings, and by means of the Language used in dreams enticed the dreaming beings, leading them gradually by expounding matters concerning the distinction between the good and evil that occur in dreams. (Sanze Shobutsu Sokanmon Kyoso Hairyu)
Lets look at the attitude Shakyamuni had while preaching the law. He did not perform His preaching and guiding as a formal ceremony, but always regarded everyday life as a place for preaching and enlightening. Sakyamuni never lost an opportunity to preach the way of life at any time or to any person.
In Chapter five of the Lotus Sutra, “Parable of the Herbs”, Sakyamuni gives the general vows of the Buddha: “Those who have not yet been saved I cause them to be saved; those who have not yet been set free to be set free; those who have not yet been comforted to be comforted; those who have not yet obtained nirvana to obtain nirvana.”
With those vows, Buddha could not but give a helping hand to anyone who was living in the world of suffering. If he saw that people were overcome by illusions, he could not help himself from freeing them on the spot. Sakyamuni could not stop but teach instantly the way of reaching a stage of peace to those who had not known that peace.
Nowadays, many men of religion try to preach the truth only at formal places like Temples, or on formal occasions like sermon meetings, or guided meditation sessions. They are not even sure if they are preaching the truth. I have many friends that are priests, I dearly treasure them as great human beings and personal treasures. They are not my priests. They have helped me in time of need, and shown great human attributes they don't reveal when wearing the priest hat. Honestly, rather than make sense of the matter, I accept them as wonderful people that are assets to my life. Then on the other hand, I have known some real stinker-oooos, than have gone out of their way to make life miserable. Again, I just think they are idiots, and go on.
I have been very lucky, to have known so may people, that I can have a balanced and fair view. Some lay people even feel the need to become a priest so that they think they will only then have the power to save others. Does this make any sense? I think they feel, they are impotent, and they need the robe or people will not listen to them. There is a translator for the Kempon Hokke, that I always had admiration for, he always produced top top notch first rate material for people that wanted to study Nichiren's ways, yet never asked to have special titles. That is a great person. Another man for the Nichiren Shu, because of jealousy sought the priest robe to gain what he felt more power over people, and when I was in Japan, I learned this was a way he wanted to have more power of me, and it is so stupid, I don't even care. His views are so off, that I just have pity for anyone that listens, they are sweet talked into human fields of pain of regret of confusion, and he mixes up all the different practices and hates Nichiren, and only wants Buddha to be Jesus or God.
I think that if we look back at the life of Sakyamuni we can see that how mistaken this preaching of professional religionists is. Did Sakyamuni become a Priest? Did he tell people to become a priest? Did Nichiren have to be a priest, or could he have been a Sushi Chef? It is the inability of the current brainwashed members to think out of the box and want to stay attached to their sect, just like a dysfunctional family that keeps the ball bouncing. But someday it will stop.
Those that have read the Nirvana Sutra have read:
“This teaching shall not be entrusted to biksus (monks) and biksunis (nuns), but to upasakas (laymen) and upasikas (laywomen).”
I think we really know why Sakyamuni entrusted his teachings to layman and laywomen, one important reason could be that lay believers have many opportunities of doing their propagating to enlighten the masses in everyday life. The job of the Bodhisattvas, is to remind other Bodhisattvas they were at the Ceremony in Space, it is not to bring them to a PRIEST or NEW TEACHER.
Unless we can lead as many people as possible to the teachings of Buddha, by making use of every opportunity to do so, we cannot rapidly change or bring the world to a state of peace.
If you bring someone to a sect, a meeting, a Priest, a new Teacher, give them HUMAN TEACHINGS, teach them Nichiren is the Buddha, Ikeda is the master, you are really are Creep.
