The Nice Cult Presents14 Loka 2022

Season 4 Episode 9 Ho No Hana

It is often called the "foot reading cult", because its founder, Hogen Fukunaga, claimed he could make a diagnosis by examining people's feet. He founded the group in 1987 after an alleged spiritual event where he claimed to have realized he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ and the Buddha. The group at one time claimed 30,000 members. However, Fukunaga charged $900 for the foot readings and a suspicion arose that he used the money to benefit himself. He was accused of swindling money from housewives and had to pay over a million dollars in damages.[2]

The Good:

Foot Readings
Celebrities'

The Bad:

Rigorous Induction Ceremony
Lying
Bullying
Lots of money coerced

The Culty (is there anything in this cult worth incorporating into our own?):

The Final Survivor ( Cult leader Death Match)
Scrolls that have messages that can absolve sin
Trinkets that prevents family curses
