Minoru Harada (原田 稔, Harada Minoru, born 8 November 1941) is a Japanese Buddhist leader. He is the sixth president of the Soka Gakkai from 9 November 2006.[1][2] He is also the Supreme Advisor of Sōka University and the Acting President of Soka Gakkai International (SGI).
In 1953, he became an adherent of Soka Gakkai (at the time was one of the several lay organizations of
Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism). He attended Tokyo Metropolitan Bunkyo High School (now Tokyo Metropolitan Bunkyo Secondary Education School). He graduated from the University of Tokyo with a Bachelor of Economics
degree.
According to Soka Gakkai, he was a
demonstration into the National Diet Building in the 1960s.[3] He was the manager of the Student Division and the Youth Division of Soka Gakkai, and one of the Vice-Presidents of Soka Gakkai. In a 1976 interview, Harada provided views of Soka Gakkai which contrasted with traditional Nichiren ones; although the latter has typically seen natural disasters as arising when society refuses to adopt the "True Law", Soka Gakkai viewed such effects as being subtler, as in societal problems rather than the likes of earthquakes.[4]
He became the sixth President of Soka Gakkai[5] on 9 November 2006 following the resignation of Einosuke Akiya.[2]
On 8 November 2014, Harada officially declared in the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhist sect.
