"GRATITUDE TO MY GOHONZON"

It is very difficult to express the deep gratitude I have for my Gohonzon. Having the great fortune of having received it twice in one lifetime is in itself pheonominal. To have it during this very trying time of my life is unbelievable.

The deep joy I feel in my life is derived from my faith and practice. Study of the Gosho strengthens my practice. A stronger practice deepens my faith and deeper faith brings great joy in my life.

Each time I go before my Gohonzon I go with great gratitude. I pray that I may deepen my faith, thereby deepen my understanding of life, so that I may be able to extend my hand to all who are seeking hope and lead them to my Gohonzon.
