オーストラリア Brief Overview of Organizations Active in Austria The "Center for Neighborhood and Communication" was also brought into being so that local political matters could be handled. The teachings of the organization ("Siloism") see the real meaning of life in the affirmation of transcendence. Only then can a person reconcile himself - and then suffering will disappear. "The Movement" was organized according to a strict hierarchy, each member had a precisely defined degree. Small teams which were led by "orienters" were to promote the image in the "Humanistic Movement." Besides meetings and courses, the members practice relaxation exercises and rituals to be able to make contact with their "inner leader." This "inner leader" is supposed to render assistance in the mastering of daily life.
SOKA GAKKAI The Buddhist lay movement, "Soka Gakkai," which originated in Japan, was founded in 1930 by teacher Makiguchi Tsunesaburo after he joined the school of the Buddhist monk Nichiren Daisonin (1222-1282). The organization proselytized heavily in the 1950s and 60s and today it claims it has about 12 million members worldwide. Its central idea is veneration of "Gohonzon," one of the mantras presented calligraphically on a wooden tablet. Every member has a likeness of it. The"Gongyo" (constant exercise) ceremony is carried out daily in front of the "Gohonzon" while the two chapters of the "Lotos Sutra" (one of the teachings of Buddha's Shakyamuni) and the "Nam Myoho Renge Kyo" mantra (title line of the Lotos Sutra) are recited out loud.
