Nichiren Daishonin stated,

"Those resolved to seek the Way should all gather and listen to the contents of this letter."

(Gosho, p.689)

Ceremonies conducted at local temples express and reveal various profound aspects and concepts of Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism. By participating, we are deeply absorbing their influences.
