In Nichiren Shoshu, making pilgrimage to the Head Temple Taisekiji is called Tozan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The true purpose of Nichiren Daishonin\u2019s advent is the inscription of Dai-Gohonzon of the High Sanctuary of Essential Teachings which is solemnly protected at Taisekiji.\u00a0 The High Priest, who received the Lifeblood of the True Heritage of Nichiren Daishonin, lives in Taisekiji.\u00a0 Therefore the Head Temple Taisekiji is a sacred place where the entire law and spirit of Nichiren Daishonin have been preserved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the Head Temple, believers who go on Tozan are allowed to directly worship the Dai-Gohonzon.\u00a0 This is called Naihai or Gokaihi.\u00a0 As Nichiren Daishonin said in his Gosho,<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cA bird gives off a golden gleam as it reaches Mt. Sumeru\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By making a pilgrimage to Taisekji and receiving audience with the Dai- Gohonzon of the High Sanctuary of Essential Teachings, our sins will disappear and our wishes will come true.\u00a0 Moreover, we will be able to follow the right path to Buddhahood.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
During the Daishonin\u2019s lifetime, Nichimyo Shonin and her young daughter walked all the way from Kamakura to Sado to see the Daishonin.\u00a0 Abutsubo visited Daishonin in Mt. Minobu from Sado Island although he was in his ninety\u2019s.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We should follow their spirit of \u201cyearning to see Nichiren Daishonin without begrudging one\u2019s life\u201d and go on to Tozan overcoming any obstacle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
