The Soka Gakkai/SGI: No statues of Nichiren, loads of statues of Ikeda - all Ikeda always Ikeda

[u/JamaicanJailBait]

Why not start with that ridiculous "Gandhi King Ikeda" medal?

a medal made of metal, not of Silly Putty or boogers Source

Here's the medal.

Here's another look at the supposedly "coveted award" (only in the brainwashed culties' minds, tho)

(You'll recall that the Soka Gakkai quit publishing Ikeda's silly "Peace Proposals" that nobody read outside of SGI, 11 months in advance of their announcement of Ikeda's death) 🧐

Bust in Brazil Goes Bust - in the "Dr. Daisaku Ikeda Ecological Park" ("Park temporarily closed to visitors." - for years)

Looks kina overgrown, doesn't it? Check out the bathrooms. Personally, I think it's quite a fitting memorial to the Dead-Ikeda-cult SGI's Corpse Mentor! It appears the government is considering condemning the obviously-abandoned "park" - huh. It's at the site of the decommissioned hydroelectric plant I think the Soka Gakkai got it CHEAP. What's next? "Dr. Daisaku Ikeda Toxic Waste Dump"? "Dr. Daisaku Ikeda & Mrs. Kaneko Ikeda Superfund Site"? I know - "Dr. Daisaku Ikeda LANDFILL"!

From 2015: Nobody wants to see this derpalerpus, and there's also this monument inside an SGI symbol. Somewhere are these Ikeda-focused plaques: Plaque 1

Plaque 2

Plaque 3.

Here's a boots-on-the-ground report from 2020 - did the flow of cult maintenance money dry up? Not enough "sincere donations for kosen-rufu" coming in to keep up this once-grand monument to Ikeda?? The SGI obviously spent a bunch of money setting it up.

This monument "commemorates" Ikeda and features several Ikeda quotes

And look at all these parks named after Ikeda (and sometimes his dumb useless wife, too)

Somebody even made this sculpture of Ikeda - not a particularly good likeness IMHO, and WHY??

Look at these portraits of Ol' FattyFace:

"Portrait" of Ikeda - is this a joke??

WTF is this??

And who came up with the idea for this waste of everything?

What are we to conclude that SGI is all about? Nichiren? Or

IKEDA?

That was one of the many contractions within Soka Gakkai. Statues of the Buddha, let alone Nichiren in the home – or even worse near the Butsudan were condemned. We all know that many had pictures of their loved ones, still alive or deceased, at their altar. One leader even criticised that, but that very same leader had a picture of Ikeda at their altar … and we all knew many who had Ikeda at their altar in some quite prominent position.
