GOSHO
are the writings of the Daishonin, our founder. In Nichiren Shoshu, the Gosho writings are upheld as exemplary instructions - a mirror of faith - by which to devote ourselves to faith, practice, and study. We can gain a correct understanding of these writings only by following the directions of our High Priest, who has received the transmission of the essential principles of true Buddhism.
ATTENDING
OKO CEREMONY
on the second Sunday of every month. In the Oko Ceremony, after the Kenzen offering, the recitation of the sutra, and the chanting of Daimoku, the priest presents a sermon, based on the Gosho. The Oko lecture is profoundly significant. Therefore, it is essential for us to attend this sermon together with our families each month without fail and offer our sincerest gratitude to the Three Treasures.
Monthly Gosho Quote
“On Prayer” Jan. 2026
As we wait for the moon to rise, we rely upon the light of a torch. If we have no gems, gold and silver will serve as treasures. The debt of gratitude owed to a white crow can be repaid to a black crow. In the same way, the debt of gratitude owed to a venerable priest can be repaid to an ordinary priest. Therefore, if we sincerely pray for benefits to be promptly provided, how can our prayers fail to be answered? (Gosho, p. 630)
