Regarding the Dismissal of Hiroshi

Our religious organization hereby announces that Hiroshi was dismissed on disciplinary grounds as of June 25, 2019.

The reasons for the dismissal are as follows: violation of the Three Treasures, activities to destroy the harmony of the monks, numerous defamatory and slanderous acts against Master El Cantare, his family, and our religious organization through falsehoods in online media, monthly and weekly magazines, continued mockery of spiritual messages and revelations, issues with women involving affiliated talents during his tenure, and responsibility for causing significant damage related to important films of the organization.

Since last October, the Happy Science Group has attempted to guide Hiroshi by specifically pointing out his numerous illegal acts, warning, and protesting through 17 certified documents from our attorney, but there has been no reflection whatsoever. Instead, he escalated his illegal acts through false statements, leading to this disciplinary decision by the organization.

* "Violation of the Three Treasures" refers to a significant breach of the duty of believers to rely on the "Buddha" (Master El Cantare, President Ryuho Okawa), the "Dharma" (the teachings of President Ryuho Okawa), and the "Sangha" (our religious organization). "Activities to destroy the harmony of the monks" means attempting to divide the organization that is peacefully cooperating.
