I am entrusting you with the Gohonzon for the protection of your young child. This Gohonzon is the heart of the Lotus Sutra and the eye of all the scriptures. It is like the sun and moon in the heavens, a mighty ruler on earth, the heart in a human being, the wish-granting jewel among treasures and the pillar of a house. 

When one embraces this mandala, all Buddhas and gods will gather around him, accompanying him like a shadow, and protect him day and night, as warriors guard their ruler, as parents love their children, as fish rely on water, as trees and plants crave rain, or as birds depend on trees. You should trust in it with all your heart.

With my deep respect,
Nichiren

The twenty-fifth day of the eighth month.

Major Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, Vol. 5, page 177.

Poveravam ti Gohonzon da zaštiti tvoju malu decu. Ovaj Gohonzon je srce Lotos Sutre i oko svih spisa. On je sličan suncu i mesecu na nebu, moćnom vladaru na zemlji, srcu u ljudskom biću, dragulju koji ispunjava želje među blagom i potpornom stubu kuće.

Kada neko prihvati ovu mandalu, sve bude i bogovi će se okupiti oko njega, prateći ga kao senke i štiteći ga danonoćno, kao što ratnici štite svog vladara, kao što roditelji vole svoju decu, kao što se riba oslanja na vodu, kao što drveće i biljke čeznu za vodom ili kao što ptice zavise od drveća. Treba da imaš poverenja u nju iz sveg srca.

Uz moje duboko poštovanje,
Ničiren

Dvadeset peti dan osmog meseca.
