"We see the Honmon Daimoku in front of us but we never ever knew that was the Daishonin's message for us and that was the 'musical note' to chant the Honmon Daimoku. SGI have been teaching their members to chant the daimoku like a galloping horse and to treat the gohonzon like a wishing well, all in contrary to the Daishonin's teaching. The Daishonin's teaching was simple, to allow us all to achieve enlightenment in this difficult saha world - just like a lotus flower, to bloom amongst a muddied pond. The dirtier the pond, the more beautiful our life is.

The Daishonin's teaching was simple, to allow us all to achieve enlightenment in this difficult saha world - just like a lotus flower, to bloom amongst a muddied pond. The dirtier the pond, the more beautiful our life is. How do we do that? We need to look at our own life. The real title of Kanjin Honzon Sho, I am sure you know is "Nyorai Metsugo Go Gohyakusai Hajimuru Kanjin Honzon Sho" or " The treatise on the object of reverence to observe the mind commencing (to be propagated) during the fifth five hundred years after the passing of the Thus Come One". What does that mean, the Dai-Honzon is simply an object for us to continually observe our mind. It is a reflection of Chapter 11 of the Lotus sutra where the Saha world was purified 3 times before the ceremony in the air. The Daishonin had crystallised that image as the Dai-Honzon, as an object for us all to constantly remind ourselves what 10 world conditions we are in. It is not to say we don't have the 6 lower worlds, but to elevate those 6 lower worlds, so we can have bodhisattvahood of hell or buddhahood of anger for example. Like the ceremony in the air, it is to remind ourselves, when we are angry or in suffering, to reflect on that, and to lift ourselves, off that 6 lower paths. That's why it is abbreviated to Kanjin Honzon Sho, correctly or incorrectly. It is an object for us to look at our own minds. Nichiryo also taught us that there is no miracle with this practice. He doesn't want us to use the Dai-Honzon as a wishing well. We are aligning our life conditions with that of the Dai-Honzon, by using the Honmon Daimoku - we then reach the same life condition wavelength or waveform of the Dai-Honzon (which is the enlightened life of Nichiren Daishonin). With that, we get the wisdom to do the correct things and change our destiny in life. Somehow, I find that amazing things happen too. So, these days, I rarely pray for anything for myself just for happiness of others. We are taught in Honmon Shoshu that this practice is a democratic practice and we don't tie people down. Anybody can come and go and there's no subscription or donations to pay. This practice is practice for happiness and enlightenment, which is the ultimate aim of the Daishonin. It is not practice for wealth or material things.
