The Mandala is not the GoHonzon. The GoHonzon is our experience of Buddha. After more than 40 years of study, Sifu Sylvain Chamberlain lends his formidable insights into the confusion and the clear understanding of Nichiren's important and singular insights into the correct practice and methodology of Shakyamuni's teachings of attaining Buddha. This small collection of writings from the corpus of Nichiren will obviate for the reader, along with annotations from Sifu Sylvain, the true significance of the Nichiren mandala and its connection to GoHonzon.
