The twice-daily Gongyo recitation is the foundation of Nichiren Buddhist Practice, involving reciting two chapters of the Lotus Sutra and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo. This practice molds your mind, heart, and life toward Buddhahood, harmonizing your microcosm with the universe's macrocosm.
Daisaku Ikeda states, "Reciting Gongyo and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo each day is a ceremony in which the microcosm of our lives harmonizes with the macrocosm of the universe. By engaging in this ceremony morning and evening, we bring forth the power to direct our lives toward the greatest happiness."
This new format allows chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo as desired after reciting the verses, followed by silent prayers. It takes only 5-7 minutes, leaving more time for chanting. Silent prayers express appreciation for the Gohonzon, ceremony, Shakyamuni Buddha, Taho Buddhas, Nichiren, Kumarajiva, the Three Founding Presidents of Soka Gakkai, and the practitioner's goals, as well as prayers for worldwide Kosen-rufu, the deceased, and the happiness of all beings.
