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.

Nichiren Daishonin

Monthly Gosho Quote

​

The True Entity of All Phenomena Sep.2023

(Shoho jisso-sho)

​

Whatever may happen, you now must practice assiduously, maintain your
faith as a votary of the Lotus Sutra, and be a follower of Nichiren
throughout your life. If your mind is one with Nichiren, you must be one
of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth. ...In the Latter Day of the Law, there are
no inequalities among those who propagate Myoho-Renge-Kyo, be they
men or women. Without the advent of the Bodhisattva of the Earth, they
could not chant the Daimoku. (Gosho, p. 666)

 

諸法實相抄

無論如何此生既信心,徹底為法華經之行者,始終為日蓮之一門。若
與日蓮同意,豈非地涌菩薩乎。(中略) 於末法弘通妙法蓮華經之五字
者,不分男女,若非地涌菩薩出現,則題目難唱也。(御書666頁)

諸法実相抄

いかにも今度信心をいたして法華経の行者にてとを(通)り、日蓮が一
門とな(成)りとをし給ふべし。日蓮と同意ならば地涌の菩薩たらんか
。(中略)末法にして妙法蓮華経の五字を弘めん者は男女はきらふべか
らず、皆地涌の菩薩の出現に非ずんば唱へがたき題目なり。 (御書頁)
