Someone asked me about the difference between a Nichikan Gohonzon and a Nichiren Koan Era (1279-1281) Ten World Gohonzon.
The Nichiren's Koan Era Ten World Gohonzon was the culmination and quintessence of Nichiren's teachings, faith and understanding.

Here is both a diagram of the Nichikan Five or Six World Gohonzon and a Nichiren Ten World Gohonzon, The Gohonzon for the Transmission of the Dharma:
In the following diagram of the Nichikan Gohonzon, SGI lies (why are we not surprised) that the Nichikan Gohonzon is a Ten World Gohonzon (see below).
For example, SGI states that Kishimojin is a representative of "the Worlds of Hunger, Animality, and Anger" when in reality, she only represents the World of Hunger (Avarice). On the Ten World Nichiren Gohonzon there are Asuras who represent the World of Anger and Kishimojin who alone represents the World of Hunger. SGI states that one of the Great Heavenly Kings represents the World of Humanity. How can a god represent the World of Humanity? Gods represent the World of Rapture. On the Ten World Nichiren Gohonzon is found a human representative of the World of Humanity, King Ajatshatru. Likewise, SGI asserts that the King Devil of the Sixth Heaven represents the World of Hell but everyone knows Devedatta is THE representative of the World of Hell. The King Devil of the Sixth Heaven is another representative of the World of Rapture (gods). SGI labels Bodhisattva Jogyo as representing the Worlds of Bodhisattva, Learning, and Self Realization while on the Ten World Gohonzon, there actually are the Men of Learning (Shariputra) and Self Realization (Mahakashyapa). This means the Nichikan Gohonzon is, at most, a Five or Six world Gohonzon. Also please note that Namu is affixed, on a Ten World Nichiren Gohonzon, not only to those of the Worlds of Buddha and Bodhisattva but all the representatives of the Four Noble Worlds, the two Worlds of Learning and Self Realization who absent absent on the Nichikan Gohonzon.
Even as early as 2006, SGI was lying to their poor unlearned gaijin members about the Nichikan Gohonzon, stating for example that Shariputra, Ajatshatru and Devedatta were on the Nichikan Gohonzon:
Prove me wrong SGI leaders (or members) and I will remove this post and never again call you liars. Should your explanation of Gohonzon (2006) disappear or is altered, I will have from a dozen to a hundred witnesses of what i say is true. If it disappears before I have witnesses, at least you and I will know the truth.
ReplyDeletePlease also see my reply to SGI Chas, author of thousands of posts on google Group's, Alternate Religion Buddhism of Nichiren (ARBN), regarding this post. I am almost certain, he will bury this post and my rebuttal to his rebuttal with a slew of dozens of posts.
ReplyDeleteThe first of the fraudulent diagrams is in Safwan's Soka Humanism tome, https://sokahumanism.com/nichiren-buddhism/Homepage.html
ReplyDeleteHowever, please let me know where in his "book" can be found the Nichikan Gohonzon diagram because I couldn't find despite looking for 45 minutes. I have beaten Safwan in several debates but who has the time or inclination to refute all SGI's and Safwan's false doctrines, histories, and suppositions? if there is anything you would like me to address there. Let me know.
