The Gohonzon is a central object of devotion in the Nichiren Buddhism tradition. It is a scroll inscribed with Chinese and Sanskrit characters that represent the enlightened state of the Buddha. Practitioners chant the phrase "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" in front of the Gohonzon to express their faith and seek personal transformation. The Gohonzon serves as a focal point for meditation and prayer, symbolizing the potential for enlightenment within all individuals. It is believed to embody the ultimate truth of the universe, helping practitioners connect with their inner wisdom and achieve their goals through dedicated practice.
