Dear Robin

A friend of mine referred me to your recent post at Gohonzonforum. I
wasted no time to correct this error of mine: Gohonzonshu # 11. The
date should have been June 1274 = Bunei 11. So sorry.

60. February 1279 (Koan 2)
This Dai-Mandara (# 60) was bestowed upon Nichimoku Shounin. The
positions of Aizen & Fudo Myo-ou are switched, indicating the
arrival point of buddhism (Fudo/moon) from west to east, and the
embarkation point of buddhism (Aizen/sun) from east to west. In
Honmon Shoshu tradition, it points to the One (ie. Renzobo
Nichimoku) who will hold on to the heritage until the proper time
(ie. Mappo) arrives. If you look at the Kankenkis; the image of
Aizen/sun is reflected by a rimmed mirror. And the image of Fudo is
reflected on the moon's surface, brandishing a sword. Ever heard the
ancient Sino-Japanese story of the rabbit in the moon? Well, the
rabbit is drawn to indicate that that is the moon. The rabbit has
also another significance, ie. the 1st day of the New Year
indicating the Sage's advent in the world. I shall delve on this
some other time.
