---You're looking at differences and separations. The Gohonzon integrates mutually agreeable M-fields and tends to demolish those getting in the way. True, Hsuan Hua didn't approve of the Gohonzon which I showed him once. Nichiren's Buddhism was heretical to him. However, his habit of eating only once per day before noon is heretical to me since I have low blood sugar and have to eat continually throughout the day. I had such pre-noon meals with him on a number of occasions.
