The truth about Soka Gakkai and Daisaku Ikeda

The Independent Reassessment Group (IRG) was, a group of concerned and committed SGI-USA members (past and present). It never was an officially positively sanctioned SGI- USA group. The people who formed it wanted to reform the Gakkai, and that is all they wanted to do. They never were intending to form another group. Never were intending to be "disloyal" nor anything but what would be called in the Anglo-American Tradition a "Loyal Opposition." They did want to see the SGI-USA reform. http://www.geocities.com/chris_holte/Buddhism/IssuesInBuddhism/IRGissues.html
