An additional book in the Sun Lotus Recovery series, for practitioners to deepen their understanding, faith and practice in Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism.
Gosho.
The individual and collected writings of Nichiren Daishonin (1222-1282).
Gosho literally means honourable writings. In general the word is used in Japanese as an honorific for certain books and writings, particularly for those of the founders and patriarchs of some Buddhist schools. Nikko, Nichiren's successor, used the word gosho to refer to Nichiren Daishonins works and made efforts to collect, copy and preserve them as sacred texts. As a result, a remarkable number of Nichirens works have been passed down to the present, and many are extant in his own hand.
In terms of content, The Gosho may be divided into four groups. (1) treatises setting forth doctrine, (2) writings remonstrating with government authorities, (3) letters offering advice, encouragement, or consolation to believers, or written in answer to questions (many in this category also include expressions of gratitude for offerings and support received), (4) written records of Nichiren Daishonins oral teachings, including his lectures on The Lotus Sutra.
