The Japanese word gongyo literally means "assiduous practice." Generally speaking it means to recite Buddhist sutras in front of an object of devotion. In the practice of Nichiren Buddhism it means reciting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, and part of the second chapter "Hoben" and the entire sixteenth "Juryo" chapter of the Lotus Sutra in front of the Gohonzon. This is the fundamental practice of Nichiren Buddhism, which is performed morning and evening.

Americans playing Japanese... so funny!.......2006-11-06

It is really funny to listen a native American playing as a native Japanese. Accent, wording, mistakes... it is a terrible product! If you find something of serious... well buy other items. Not this one absolutely! It was disgusting!

Why buy when it's available on SGI website for free.......2006-10-16

The recitation is available for download on the SGI site. Why would one want to purchase it? I found other sites where people are ordering so much so it's backordered. Once again, the SGI website gives free download.

Good intentions should be looked on with good spirit.......2006-10-02

Yes, it is true that you should not take a photograph of a Gohonzon, but this is a "formality" that we as practitioners of the lotus sutra have established out of respect for the "object of devotion" please tell me where in the gosho The Daishonin forbid photographs. Meditation is also the wrong words with out a doubt to describe how we practice. Nevertheless, the intent will help the new practitioners to the faith, and aid in Kosen-rufu, so I give it a 5. peace and happyness of all living beings is the motivation here, not anger and hostility. that is no way for the bodhisattvas of the earth to act.

This is awfully helpful to gongyo new comers.......2006-03-26

Put the cover issue aside, and focus on the recorded content. The concept of having the gongyo recorded in 3 speeds for beginners is brilliant. I'm finding it useful.

On the topic of the cover, I myself overlooked the sideways Gohonzon when I made the purchase. Then again, I'm a beginner and can be given the benefit of the doubt. I'm having trouble with why the producers still ship the product with the sideways Gohonzon if they have complaints?! I can't imagine that's good karma.

forbidden.......2006-03-13

In true buddhist practice the recreation or portraiting of the gohonzon, is sacred and prohibited to replicate, picture or duplicate of the scroll, this is blasfemy if I was Catholic or otherwise, the gohonzon is a scoll that only is given to the true belivers and members of the Nichiren Daishoning falowers
placing it as a cover is blasfemi, by the way the it is not in the rigth position but I guest the producer of this did it on purpose, I feel ofended and angry to display a sacred scroll that only true practicing budhist posses in their homes for their faith, thier practice, and a simbol of their belive
