Date: Mon, 9 Aug 1999 18:24:07 EDT From: T2ommyTom@aol.com To: jal@las.es Subject: joanne/religion On a web-site regarding Tina's religion-she is irroneously stated as being a member of The SGI buddhist organization. She is not affiliated with that organization and making that statement could drag her into controversy within the Buddhist world. Their is an inner conflict or a "Buddhist War" and Tina would prefer to not have an affilliation with that organization at this time!
I have no way to confirm this or that, so please Tina call me :-)
Tina was a member of what was once called "Nichiren Shoshu of America" (now called Soka Gakkai). A split occured in the organization and she remained with what is known as SGI (Soka Gakkai):
| Life with Ike was not easy, and anger
wasn't enough, though. Tina knew she needed strength,
too, and the ability to really believe in herself. That's
what she found in Buddhism. In 1974 Ike brought a woman called Valerie Bishop to the Inglewood house. Valerie was a secretary at the Revue's Los Angeles office - she was also a Buddhist. At the time Tina knew nothing about Buddhism, so Valerie began explaining it to her. Immediately Tina realized it was what she had been looking for. Everyday she began repeating the special words "Nam-myo-ho-renge-kyo" over and over again. She also read about Buddhism and talked to other Buddhists about their beliefs. Slowly the anger inside her changed to strength. She was ready for the next step. From Joannes HomePage: THE GIRL OF NUTBUSH |
