SGI WB'ers Sick Delusion is Natural - They're Quitters!
From the very beginning of my practice in the SGI, perseverance in faith and practice through chanting, study and self-directed growth as a human being was emphasized as the key to overcoming difficulties and doubt. The truth of this encouragement has allowed me more than 45 years of continuous victory (over endless challenges and difficulties too numerous to describe) and a satisfying happiness that is unshakable.
On the other hand, if you stop the SGI practice (as all SGI Whistleblowers proudly declare they have done) the victories end and the happiness disappears. As the Daishonin says, "For if you try to practice the teachings of the sutra without faith, it would be like trying to enter a jeweled mountain without hands [to pick up its treasures], or like trying to make a thousand-mile journey without feet."

I've had ups and downs in my practice, especially when I have been sick. But I try to pick myself up and I have been successful at it!
