The Nichikan "Gohonzon" does not embody the Buddha's world because it lacks Lord Shakyamuni as the eternal Buddha. When one worships a Nichikan Gohonzon, the Buddha fails to hear your prayers. This is similar to a radio which must be set to a particular frequency in order to listen to your favorite radio station. Nichiren's authentic Gohonzon (Honmon no Honzon). embodies the Buddha's world as described in the Sixteenth Chapter of the Lotus Sutra. The difference becomes readily apparent when you enshrine a copy of a Nichiren inscribed Gohonzon.
