Appendum to Mobilizing the Laity, dated April 2001. 'the Buddhist sect of Soka Gakkai' is now recognized by Buddhism in Japan to be a cult, not representative of the Buddhist religion, hence the wording 'sect' is no longer valid. The text has not been changed in order to preserve the original form submitted. For more on Soka Gakkai - see my notes, taken from an OMF seminar presentation by Dr. Chris Naylor on Nichiren Buddhism and Souka Gakkai; dated Sept.8th 2000.
