Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist Ghana Temple after 5 Months June 14, 1998

Описание: On February 21, 1998 the first Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist Temple opened in the West African Country of Ghana. Please note that this Temple in Ghana is the House that SGI Daisaku Ikeda built. Buddhism began early in Ghana. An organization called NSG or Nichiren Shoshu Ghana was formed. NSG was a part of the parent Buddhist lay organization Sokka Gakkai International based in Japan that is better known as the SGI. The SGI is headed by a Buddhist leader by the name of Daisaku Ikeda who is head of this powerful organization that is worth over 125 Billion dollars. Daisaku Ikeda was once known as the most powerful man in Japan. We at the Proud Black Buddhist Website can point to a worldwide Comprehensive plan that was orchestrated by Daisaku Ikeda to break away from the Nichiren Shoshu Priesthood and began his own set of Buddhism. As in America Daisaku Ikeda brought in young Japanese to take over Buddhism in America in a plan of centralization. Daisaku Ikeda replaced the USA founder of Buddhism George M. Williams and put his central leaders in place in America. Around the same time Daisaku Ikeda made the decision to replace Mr. Joseph Asomani in Ghana. The members in Ghana invoked their constitutional right that states that Ghanians have the right to choose their own leaders. In Ghana 90% of the members banded together under the leadership of Joseph Asomani and challenged Daisaku Ikeda and his attempt to control Ghana members. Daisaku Ikeda although a lay leader ex-communicated the Ghana members. Years later Daisaku Ikeda carried out his plans to break away from the Nichiren Shoshu Priesthood. The Nichiren Shoshu Priest organized International Hokkeko organizations. The Ghana members transition from SGI members to direct Nichiren Shoshu Temple members. This temple is a combination of the excellent SGI training combined with the traditions of Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism. This temple opened on February 21, 1998. Anthony "Amp" Elmore returned to Ghana in June of 1998. In this Video we witness the Gojakai or acceptance ceremony of young Nana Asomani. In February of 1998 he was not born. Being just months old we captured this ceremony. While the Ghana Temple was only months old many of the members have a generation of Buddhist practice. It was the organization of the members and Nichiren Shoshu Priest Dojo Yorshita that made this temple a success and a model Buddhist Temple. This temple of Africans have a complete cultural infrastructure that is autocratic. In Ghana their is an organic religious culture that infuse Japanese culture. In Japan they have lodging Buddhist Temples. When members travel far distances they reside at the temple. The Ghana Temple is a lodging Temple and a culture that is practiced in Japan but not in America. When members travel far distances to the Temples in America they do not reside in the temples. Over the weekends many youth in Ghana spend the weekend at the temple taking classes, watching movies and having a great time. Like Churches in America youth are brought up in the Church, Buddhism members are brought up at the Temple. While in Ghana a man traveled from Nigeria he simple stayed at the temple. We taped this video to demonstrate how such a Buddhist culture could be developed in America.
