I believe the word "venerate" -- as opposed to "worship" -- more accurately reflects the the correct attitude in relationshp with Gohonzon. Wonderful video. Thank you.
@@pratnama Thanks for your reply. The reason I say that the English word "worship" is problematic is that "worship" infers something outside one's self. The Daishonin, OTOH, taught very clearly that "if you think the Law is outside yourself, you are embracing not the Mystic Law but some inferior teaching." For this reason, I find the use of the word "worship" can give a wrong impression about the correct understanding of this practice. Again, thanks for your reply.
Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo, I was there in 2013, blue sky, chanting Gohonzon faithfully. Peace everybody!

not sure, worship is a religious name, venerate means also "great respect and gratitude" and goes beyond religion.
