Gohonzon

The Great Mandala is the object of worship for the believers, known as the Gohonzon. Whereas the inspiration of the Odaimoku comes from  verbal display, the Gohonzon provides for a visual interaction as well. The Gohonzon is the graphical representation that expresses the oneness between the Great Truths (Dharma) and the personage of the Eternal or Primeval Buddha.

Inspiration wells from a reverent gazing of the Gohonzon coupled with the chanting of the Odaimoku. For the faithful the experience is one of being bathed by the rays of wisdom and compassion that emanates from the Eternal Buddha. Thus are we embraced in the Buddha's realm of enlightenment and brought to a state of " Kanno Dokyo", a resonance between the Buddha's power and our spiritual receptivity.
