We thank you for entering our Web site, the reference
library for an empowered membership in the SGI. We wrote the essay Victorious America
in 1998 as the philosophical foundation to support the proposed grassroots
level solution to perfect our organization. Please read the essay Victorious America first, followed by the
Remonstration. All other documents on this web site are supporting
documents. Without reading Victorious
America, which is based upon
President Ikeda's guidances below, the subsequent documents might appear
confusing. We assure you that your time spent reading them will be
well worth your while.

|
| Our
thanks go out to all those who continue to spread Victorious America
throughout the SGI by word of mouth, helping to make it's message available to all SGI
members. We especially want to express our appreciation to those who
are courageously standing up for this change and continue to press forward
for accountability. We apologize for the spelling and grammatical errors
in the essays, which were written in spite of busy schedules, and
appreciation to those who have pointed them out. We ask for your
continued patience.

visit the new Alert
page. It contains news of an urgent nature as well as notifications of
major updates and new information. This page will maintain a
continual enlightening process, since the function of the current
organization is to suppress any information that would put forward
an inquiry into the actions, decisions and accountability of the
leaders. This will be a refreshing change from the censorship and
controlled view of the World Tribune. |

| Please visit the
Page
of Courage. It contains the submissions of those who are
courageous enough to write experiences of their ordeals confronting
injustices to the members within the organization. We welcome
experiences from our readers who are willing to come forward and
express what has likewise happened to them, to give courage to
others and be part of this historical change. |
"Mr. Makiguchi insisted that the constituent members of a body or organization must direct the actions of the leaders."
President
Ikeda, World Tribune 4/17/98
"The
human revolution and social renaissance of the SGI are particularly
distasteful to those whose authority and power is rooted in a weak and
dependent people. The practice of Buddhism produces a happier and more
aware populace; a socially responsible and politically involved
citizenry; a people who know what true leadership means, whether
religious or secular, and who are perceptive and courageous enough to
unmask self-serving authority."
Questions and Answers on the Temple Issue, page 4
Victorious America was written as a
declaration for the organization to become a vessel to produce a
membership of individuals who are courageous enough to stand up and
point out self-serving behavior from within the organization in order to
protect it and ensure its eternal prosperity, and in society at large
where the majority of the people remain silent and apathetic in the face
of injustice.
"The
ideas expressed in the Declaration of Independence have spread
worldwide. Today there is a need for a profound, reliable philosophy to
support its ideals and to ensure their universal promulgation."
President Ikeda, Seikyo Times, March, 1990, page 29
In order to have an organization that
fully embraces these fundamental principles of freedom and individual
rights that we are charged to promulgate throughout the world, our
organization must perfectly align itself with these democratic ideals
else we would betray our own stated purpose. In order to protect and
uphold this noble quest we wrote Victorious America.
The essay Victorious America was
written to pay tribute to Tsunesaburo Makuguchi, the founder of the Soka
Gakkai, and to realize his vision for the type of organization that
would be a suitable vessel to protect the Gohonzon so the Mystic Law may
flourish and produce individuals that would protect the fundamental
rights and freedoms of all people and fight authoritarianism wherever it
may appear. Through a succession of events and experiences, it was
revealed that such a lofty vision now finds itself at odds within the
organization as it now exists. Victorious America was written to the
people whose mission it is to preserve and uphold such a lofty vision of
Makiguchi and all those who fight for the preservation of human dignity
and the fundamental rights and equality of all people. In our passion to
respond to Mr. Makiguchi's sacrifice, we now raise the banner of this
noble quest to once again embrace these properties of freedom and
fundamental rights he fought for, which are the very essence of
enlightenment of the human condition.
