Upholding Faith in the Gohonzon
I have received your various offerings.
I am entrusting you with the Gohonzon for the protection of your young child. This Gohonzon is the heart of the Lotus Sutra and the eye of all the scriptures. It is like
the sun and moon in the heavens, a mighty ruler on earth, the heart in a human being, the wish-granting jewel among treasures
and the pillar of a house.
When one embraces this mandala, all Buddhas and gods will gather around him, accompanying him like a shadow, and protect
him day and night, as warriors guard their ruler, as parents love their children, as fish rely on water, as trees and plants
crave rain, or as birds depend on trees. You should trust in it with all your heart.
With my deep respect,
Nichiren
The twenty-fifth day of the eighth month.

One who recites even one word or phrase of the Lotus Sutra and who speaks about it to another
person is the emissary of the Lord Buddha Shakyamuni.
