This is my interpretation of the Gohonzon. It represents my way of being and where I am at this intersection of life.

*The Gohonzon is considered a mandala, an object of veneration to the followers of Nichiren Buddhism.

*Namu Myoho Renge Kyo is what is inscribed in the middle of the Gohonzon. And it is also what is chanted and meditated upon by the followers of Nichiren.

For more information about the Gohonzon, who Nichiren was, and the meaning of Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, the following links are provided:

*Intro about Mandalas [link]

*Meaning of the Gohonzon [link] and [link]

*Meaning of Namu Myoho Renge kyo [link] and [link]

*To obtain your own copy of a Gohonzon [link]

These are just a couple of sites that offer some explanation of the Gohonzon and its' significance.

Namaste!

I have one question: How did you get it to look EXACTLY like a real Gohonzon?
