Soka Gakkai International

Soka Gakkai International flag Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is an international Nichiren Buddhist organization founded in 1975 by Daisaku Ikeda, as an umbrella organization of Soka Gakkai.

It is run by two vice-presidents, including Hiromasa Ikeda, son of the founder. It claims 12 million adherents, but scholars fear the number is overrated. Recent scholarship estimate Soka Gakkai believers around 2.5 million people in Japan.[3]

SGI is one of the 6000 organizations awarded a consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council, since 1983.[4]

It also remains a controversial organization, due to the ambiguous reputation of the Japanese Soka Gakkai. Some countries consider it as a cult. Provided by Wikipedia
