    About this ebook

    The Liturgy of Gongyo is a cornerstone of Nichiren Buddhism, representing a profound practice of devotion and self-awareness. Gongyo, meaning "assiduous practice," involves reciting portions of the Lotus Sutra and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, the central mantra, to awaken one's inherent Buddha nature. Through rhythmic recitations and meditative chanting, practitioners align with the rhythm of the universe, fostering inner peace and clarity. Gongyo serves as a transformative ritual, fostering spiritual growth and deepening connections with the teachings of Nichiren Daishonin. It's a practice of mindfulness and reverence, offering a path to enlightenment and harmony within oneself and the world.
