On the Great Gohonzon Mandala

On the Great Gohonzon Mandala of the Nichiren School, we find two Esoteric characters in ancient Sanskrit script, rather than like the rest, which are Chinese calligraphy. These two protective deities guard the entrance way to many a Buddhist Temple.

So, why did Nichiren place them on the Gohonzon. Perhaps it was to recognize the energies of the infinite past, for these strong energy forces have been around for much longer than Buddhism.

These two characters represent some fundamental issues of life and a balance of Yin and Yang, the balance of dark and light, male and female, and many other dualities of life that are inter-connected. Opposites, but equal qualities of the Taoist philosophy, which are part of Mahayana Buddhism, as it relates to, in principle and function.
