This protection is included in the beneficial effects of Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo, hidden in the depths of the Juryo Chapter. The Shoten zenjin gain their power to protect living beings from the essence of the True Law. In this prayer, we offer the essence of the Mystic Law (Myoho) to the Shoten zenjin who protect the True Buddha and the Law at all times. The Silent Prayers The First Silent Prayer We perform all five silent prayers in the morning and three silent prayers (the second, the third and the fifth silent prayers) in the evening. Performing Gongyo every day without fail is a critical aspect of our practice. Practicing morning and evening Gongyo allows us to purify our lives, establish a happy life condition, and create our own desirable futures. We recite the first part of the Hoben (“Expedient Means”-2nd) Chapter and the entire Juryo (“Life Span”- 16th) Chapter of the sutra and chant the Daimoku – Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo – to the Gohonzon. The practitioners of Nichiren Shoshu have been carrying out the practice of Gongyo since the time of Nichiren Daishonin and Nikko Shonin. Gongyo is to recite the Lotus Sutra and chant Daimoku in front of the Gohonzon.
