Don't know much about Nichiren. Dai Gohonzon sounds like a Japanese description
of Kegon's "riji-muge" (interpenetration and mutual identity between
particulars in Indra's net).
I presume that the "true entity" is tathata or tathata-garbha if you prefer.
Buddha sees nothing but Buddha. So you do dharani-s from and to the multi-form
Buddha?
By the way, didn't Nichiren call Zenji-s self-power devils? Don't think Hsuan
Hua would agree. Also, I doubt Nichiren would approve of Padmasambhava -
particularly, Vajrakila the Yidam which he gave as a first sadhana.
Why don't you collapse your multiple identities here on FFL and give up the
parade. Tell us about your background is so we can't understand the context of
your dialog.
Also - there no such thing as "Buddhist" tathata, as you know. These are all
concepts, which you also know. Why make the separation except to be polemical?

time; but for now all I can say is that it's the power of the
GOHONZON which reflects many facets of the one hologram; into one
living organism, with no danger of the separate parts flying off into
separateness. Thus, one can reconcile the various parts without
conflict....yet, the whole and relationship between the parts remain
Buddhist, not Hindu. There are certain advantages in Buddhism over
Hinduism, but the core nature of the advantage(s) can't be addressed
through the type of intellectual analysis going on in this forum.
(not to put such analysis down, but it's limited, not entering into
direct cognition of the Buddhist "true entity", represented by the
Gohonzon). ps. The foregoing is not intended to make sense.
