SE-O-GE
Reverend Raidou Hirota's Position
This is NOT an official site of
the Nichiren Shoshu Shoshin-kai
Translated and edited by Udumbara Foundation staff.
Se-o-ge is the extended portion of the Hoben (2nd) chapter
of the Lotus Sutra, following the junyoze (Nyo ze so...).
About one third of the Shoshin-kai recite it. At my temple,
Sanbo-in, we recite Se-o-ge because Nichiren Daishonin did
it. We try to practice as closely as we can to the way the
Daishonin practiced. While I cannot force anyone to recite
the se-o-ge, this is the way we do gongyo at Sanbo-in, and
I encourage others to do the same, and hope that you will.
