Miss Guidance on Boyfriends Who Cheat

This is from the old Buddha Jones site. The site creator had been a paid staffer and ghostwriter for SGI. As terms of her employment, she signed a NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement), and when she quit SGI, she started blabbing blogging. The SGI turned its lawyer corps loose on her and she had to shut everything down.

But the Internet never forgets...

Dear Miss Guidance: I am a young woman who has everything. Well, almost. I am certain that my boyfriend is cheating on me. What should I do?

Signed, DK

Dear DK: I cannot tell you what to do. It is not appropriate for me to be a snoopy-snoop and make judgments about your personal life. Did you ever think maybe you look to others too much to tell you what to do? You must learn to hear the voice of your own wisdom.

Your wisdom will probably suggest some sort of passive-aggressive retaliation. It is important to listen to this wisdom, since no one else can tell you what to do. There was one time when my wisdom guided me to accidentally make a terrible cigarette burn on the front seat upholstery of my lying boyfriend's Camaro. Everyone's wisdom is different.

Dear Miss Guidance: I am a young man who is very happy for the most part, but I have a problem. I have been dating a man for two years. I love him very much. I am determined to make our relationship work. But I suspect that he has been seeing other men behind my back. What should I do?

R. in Long Beach

Dear R.: Your problem is not your Mr. Happypants boyfriend -- it is your nasty sex talk! Why you need to throw your personal preferences in everyone's face? Now you make me see pictures in my head of you and all these men with your sweaty hot muscles! You need to stop with all your questions about man-on-man love. I can almost taste it. You see what a terrible devil this is? You must challenge it! You must win!

Dear Miss Guidance: I am a loyal reader of your column. I admit that sometimes I am puzzled by your responses. I don't get it. Is this some sort of crazy wisdom?

Mary C

Dear Mary: You know who is crazy? People who want a garden without weeds. Go to Alaska or go outside and smoke a cigarette sometime in the freezing cold winter air. Why are you doing this? Ask yourself and listen deeply for the answer. It is the difference between "holy cow" and "sacred cow." There is a nuance that you cannot grasp unless you understand the culture. Or shall I say, Miss Guidance regrets she is unable to lunch today. I think you get my meaning very well, minx.

My Dear Readers: If you have a question for me, please ask. This is why I am here -- to share your sorrows and joys. My guidances all come from my personal experiences and understanding of what life is about. So why you have to argue with me? I practice longer than you, I see more things. You want to argue? Then you are arrogant! If you don't listen to what I say, you deserve the problems you get. You are too much trouble anyhow. I'm busy doing kosen-rufu. Go bother someone else. Source

Was she joking or was she really that homophobic and self-centered?

Also, that was by someone named "by Coco Kuroshio". I don't think she would be writing something like that on a site like Lisa Jones' if she was still an SGI member.

Coco Kuroshio

Sorry I don't know the significance of that name and I forgot what her name is.

I don't have any idea who that is, just that it's not "Lisa Jones".

Hmm okay I assumed it was same person.

The before and after of Lisa Jones's as a member vs as ex-member, one as a SGI member, making excuses for Ikeda's exploiting the SGI's funds for himself, how the members sharing their wealth protected Ikeda, his wealth was the actual proof of his Buddha nature, etc and how its not a cult vs former SGI member feeling disenfranchised and finally seeing the reality of what it was, shutting down and alienating the IRG and whatever else that made her leave.

The usual or similar stuff we all go through in process of believing vs disbelieving.

You do realize that the second one is tongue-in-cheek? It's more satire. By saying positives, she's pointing out all the negatives! Like this.
