		While the Soka Gakkai were in charge, and Ikeda was in charge of the Soka Gakkai, they had their own private priesthood and the SGI forged no links to any other Buddhist groups.
		It's the same formula as Ikeda's first Harvard "lecture" and the Columbia dialogue, producing the academic equivalent of an infomercial, talking heads with a few eminent Harvard names, a few emeriti and junior faculty, and a few outright apologists speaking before a small audience of those who got there on time.
