Nichiren never said we should only chant to a Nichiren Gohonzon because there were only Nichiren inscribed Gohonzon when he wrote the Gosho. Since one is going to chant to a copy of a Gohonzon, our contention is that it should be a copy of a Nichiren Gohonzon. It's insanity for you to say, "Please return the Nichiren Gohonzon you chant to, and chant to a Gohonzon by Nissen?" If HBS had a Nichiren Gohonzon, as they claim, then why not copy it and use that? In the Hoon-jo we read, "The object of worship should be in all cases, the Master of Teachings Lord Shakya of the Original Doctine." Myoho Renge Kyo is the Dharma. Nichiren kept a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in front of his Daimoku Only Gohonzon, yet the HBS says, "We don't allow that." Nichiren could not be in the HBS! They would kick him out!
