Description

This book includes the full and complete daily meditation gongyo service for Nichiren Shu Buddhists as well as optional and supplemental offerings.
Nichiren Shu practitioners perform a twice daily vocal meditation service called gongyo that involves all six senses in an act of celebration fully immersing themselves into the sublime reality of the Lotus Sutra while taking refuge in the Sanctuary of Awakening. Every service is a re-creation of the Lotus Sutra's mystical Ceremony in the Air.
This book’s unique design matches the Japanese shindoku-style recitation with the English translation in a line-by-line, side-by-side format, making it easy to choose reciting either style, while simultaneously seeing what the English means. The English translation is from Kosei Publishing Japan’s new Threefold Lotus Sutra translation. We thank Kosei Publishing Japan for their gracious permission to use. This new translation makes chanting in English a pleasure and also modernizes the language gender neutralizing all pronouns.
This book contains the full and complete gongyo service and includes excerpts from the Lotus Sutra; Chapter Two, Skillful Means and Chapter Sixteen, Lifetime of the Buddha; Shomyo hymns, Shodaigyo Meditation, Dharanis, Memorial, Healing and Meal prayers, with detailed instructions how to perform daily gongyo and a short introduction to Nichiren Buddhism.
May this booklet bring you joy and peace and find you well and free of suffering.
