1. The Gohonzon is a scroll containing Chinese and Sanskrit characters that aids practitioners of Nichiren Buddhism in the process of perceiving and bringing forth the life condition of Buddhahood from within their lives.
2. The 13th-century Buddhist teacher Nichiren defined the “Mystic Law” described within the Lotus Sutra as “Nam-myoho-renge-kyo” and represented it in graphic form as the Gohonzon, establishing a way for all people to connect with it.
3. However, it can be very difficult to actually believe in and respect the infinite potentiality of our lives, much less manifest, on a consistent basis, the sublime life condition of Buddhahood that exists within us all.
4. Nichiren Buddhism is revolutionary in that it teaches that all people are capable of manifesting Buddhahood in this lifetime, in their present form.
5. It is a physical representation of the fundamental law that permeates all life, the sublime reality to which Shakyamuni was enlightened.
6. Shakyamuni’s revelation of this law is distilled within the Lotus Sutra, the title of which is rendered in Japanese as Myoho-renge-kyo.
7. Daimoku is a belongs to the Nichiren Sect of Japanese Buddhism.
8. It mirrors the qualities of our inherent Buddha nature, such as wisdom, courage, compassion and life force.
9. Daimoku Chanting is based on the Lotus Sutra of Chapter 16. It is very simple.
10. In one sense, the Gohonzon is a blueprint of the limitless potential of our inner lives.
11. Just chant: Nam-myo-ho-renge-kyo.
1. 5+ Stars!So great full for this app!! I now use it to clear my cluttered mind... Feel so peaceful after reading and hearing chants..hope this site never goes away...put this app on my phone, totally forgot about it, chanted with my group and I remembered it while I was chanting! I'm gonna use it more when I'm off commuting to my job! sounds fantastic!My eyes are going bad tho I have most of the Lotus Sutra memorized.
2. ** This review supercedes my previous one, because the Developer has very kindly explained the situation regarding banner ads in Google Play Applications...this being a function of Google's policies ** I greatfully bow in gassho to the Developer for their time, talent and sincere efforts in creating this wonderful Application.
3. Would help if it had a place to record changing times.I think e gohonzon is great for when I can't take my Butsidan on holidays or if I want to chant when not near my butsidan due to pain I do that often this app is great I have it on two devices I own nowThe scrolled dimoku is easy to fallow .
4. but there a frequent stop on Nam myo 2x n the myo ho there a stop and make slow n fast gongyo for begginer anyway good apps.
5. Find a way to get rid of the ads altogether.This is the most visually beautiful Nichiren Buddist Application available! It is 100% supportive of our practices, yet simple to use.
6. However what is worse is the popup ads at the bottom of the screen going ping ping.
7. Hi, I wanted a gongyo app to use in places without wifi or 4g connection.
8. Easy opening with clear sound.
9. I am afraid the developers didnot understand what a gongyo is at all.
10. This is not a prayer or meditation app, it is designed as a tackless ad money box.
11. I miss the sounds of the voices.Love this app.
