The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon

Daily Wisdom

 

From the Writings of Nichiren Daishonin
Thursday, October 18, 2012:

Without exception, all these Buddhas, bodhisattvas, great sages, and, in general, all the various beings of the two worlds and the eight groups who appear in the "Introduction" chapter of the Lotus Sutra dwell in the Gohonzon. Illuminated by light of the five characters of the Mystic Law, they display the dignified attributes they inherently possess. This is the object of devotion.
