I don't like this website , i feel it's not real Buddhism when you separate your self from others in your own practice . Excluding yourself because of race,sex, or sex preferance is non Buddhist . Buddhism is real,raw and in your face
you see yourself for who you are , and there is no hiding behind it. Sharing our culture is the most we can do for the people.

This information is very enlightening and empowering.It is my first exposure to Buddhist teaching.Barrack's presidential success was revealed to me in Judges 4.Due to my enquiry of the ethnicity of Buddha,I stumbled on this site.You may also view sculptures of yogic postures by the Olmec Africans who preceeded the native Americans in Central America.

Hi, you mention that:


"The most important thing that I witnessed in Ghana was the effort of entire families dressing up to attend religious worship at the Temple. What I noticed regarding the SGI structure in America since the ex-communication by the Nichiren Shoshu Temple was the decline of traditional family values and I witnessed African/American males leaving the organization and an upsurge of alternate life styles such as gays, Homosexual, Bi-sexual, Lesbian, Transgender and other phenomena emerge. The SGI has grown into an interesting and different evolution."


I am not sure what you mean by the last part of your statement.  Are you saying that there's something wrong with the 'upsurge' of alternative lifestyles such as those from within the LGBT community?  If you feel this is the case, why? and surely this is against the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin to discriminate?


Also, the 'upsurge' is probably more due to the fact that members of the LGBT community are fully accepted within SGI and within the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin, rather than for any other reason.  It is possibly also due to the shakabuku efforts of many of those from within SGI to reach out to the LGBT community and teach them about 'nam myoho renge kyo' and Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism.
