Who do we thank when we are cured of a serious ailment? Do we thank the medicine? No, we thank the physician. In like manner, when we chant the Daimoku, we thank the Great Physician, Shakyamuni Buddha of the Juryo Chapter of the Lotus Sutra who prescribed the medicine and his assistant, Nichiren Daishonin, who dispensed the medicine.
