Next Steps
To Japanese
After reading "A Blue Deeper Than Indigo Itself - Learning from Ikeda Sensei's Guidance (English version)", some people think they should take the next step.
Those people should learn about doctrine, organization/leadership, activities, and peace, and so on.
I have prepared the material in Japanese and it is available on this website, but I do not have the material in English at this time. (If necessary, I will prepare them, but it will take time.)
Ikeda Sensei has already provided the necessary materials. Of course, there are many materials in English.
If possible, I recommend that you do your own research.
Regarding doctrine:
Please study "Lectures on the Hoben and Juryo Chapters of the Lotus Sutra", "The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra" and "Learning from the Gosho: The Eternal Teachings of Nichiren Daishonin".
If you compare them with the doctrines of the current doctrines , you will notice that there are significant differences.
It is obvious which one you should choose.
Regarding Peace:
Please study the SGI Proposals.
The world today is heading in a dangerous direction. Simply following the current SGI will not improve the situation.
We should learn from the proposals and do what we can.
Regarding activities, organization and leadership:
The situation may be different between Japan and SGI.
However, we need to be strict regarding "leadership appointments" and "financial affairs".
The nature of activities also needs to be discussed.
Why don't you read Sensei's guidance again to be aware of the issues?
