is there a diference between gakai's gohonzon fromthat in the picture?
ReplyDeleteThere are some minor technical differences. The Gohonzons made by Nichiren have his personal seal.
ReplyDeleteThe SGI Gohonzon is a Taisekiji Mandala. Taisekiji follows the Nikko Lineage protocol. Their Gohonzons are signed Nichiren Zaigohon; followed by the transciber's seal. Zaigohon means something like "by authority of." So the signature on their Gohonzon reads, Nichikan, by authority of Nichiren.

Taisekiji also adds two side phrases that are on some made by Nichiren; but not on # 048.

The current SGI Gohonzon also omits the 4 provisional Bodhisattvas led by Fugen and Manjushri.
