On November 5, 2013, President Ikeda led the Gohonzon enshrinement ceremony at the facility, which he named the “Hall of the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu” three days later. Numerous SGI members have since come from around the world to take part in the special gongyo sessions held there.
1F Kosen Hall
The two most salient features of this room are the calligraphic characters “kosen-rufu,” and Monument to the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu, both of which were penned by Ikeda Sensei in the belief that the advance toward this goal will be eternal and unceasing.
1F
3F Grand Hall of Worship
Gongyo and daimoku for the realization of kosen-rufu are conducted here, a service at which SGI members gather from around the world to take part.
3F
Kosen-mon (nearest to Shinanomachi Station)
The eight columns along the Hall’s facade express supreme appreciation to those who visit the facility, with President Ikeda equating the colonnade with the eight Chinese characters from the Lotus Sutra that read, “you should rise and greet him from afar, showing him the same respect you would a Buddha.”
The Sokamon Gate and Northern Courtyard
Two monuments adorn the plaza on the northern side of the Hall, the first being the “Song of Human Revolution.”The second is a poem that reads, “Though the journey to propagate the Mystic Law is long, let us encourage each other and advance together,” penned by second Soka Gakkai president Josei Toda.
Hall of the Great Vow for Kosen-rufu Front Courtyard
Adjacent to the Hall’s Kosen-mon Gate, the courtyard was dedicated on November 1, 2016. Visitors can enjoy flora that bloom with the seasons as they stop by for a rest or a chat on benches or take commemmorative photographs.
The courtyard is open to the public from 9:00 to 19:00.
