What's your experience with Soka Gakkai or Nichiren Buddhism?

I recently received something of an orientation to the practice while visiting family, including some who were raised with the practice. All but one family member felt strongly that the practice had a significant positive impact on their lives.

I haven’t adopted the practice, but I’ve been reading some of the literature. I find it meshes well with some of my personal beliefs and appreciate its populist foundation, but I get hung up a good bit on the “Engrish”, and I’m sort of waiting for the catch.

What’s been your experience? Do you have faith in absolute victory for kosen-rufu?
