Fundamental ignorance or illusion gives rise to earthly desires that in turn result in the accumulation of negative karma, trapping one in a cycle of migrating from one state of suffering to the next. “Eradicating karmic relations arising from ignorance” means to put an end to such transmigration at a root level and to eradicate and break free of the karmic relations that give rise to that cycle. Returning to the fundamental Mystic Law is the key.

By praying to the Gohonzon, which was inscribed based on the Ceremony in the Air, we become one with the eternal and universal life in the present. We can awaken a state of life in which we can survey the entire universe right from where we are. Through our daily practice of reciting the sutra and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, we can join the eternal Ceremony in the Air here and now. We can cause the treasure tower to shine within us and to shine within our daily activities and lives. That is the wonder of the Gohonzon. A magnificent cosmos of life opens to us, and reality becomes a world of value creation.

The treasure tower issues forth from deep within the earth and soars high into the sky above the saha world. This symbolizes the emergence from the eternal source or foundation of this world, the passage through the harsh realities of this realm of suffering, and a rising on toward the future and the fruition of lofty ideals.
Dr. Soorya B. Shakya of Nepal—who, incidentally, is said to be descended from Shakyamuni’s clan — explains that the Ceremony in the Air symbolizes the Buddha’s immense state of life. He says that it includes within its “present” both the “worlds of the ten directions of the past” and the “worlds of the ten directions of the future.” According to him, it is the state of Buddhahood that transcends time and space, and when we awaken to the realm expounded in the Ceremony in the Air, we gain the ability to accomplish anything.

Nichiren Daishonin states that he inscribed the Gohonzon as the “banner of propagation of the Lotus Sutra” (WND, 831). In other words, it is the object of devotion for kosen-rufu — that is, for accomplishing the wide propagation of the Mystic Law.
In “The Real Aspect of the Gohonzon,” he says: “How wondrous it is that, around two hundred years and more into the Latter Day of the Law, I was the first to reveal as the banner of propagation of the Lotus Sutra this great mandala that even those such as Nagarjuna and Vasubandhu, T’ien-t’ai and Miao-lo were unable to express” (WND, 831).
Carrying on the Daishonin’s spirit, the Soka Gakkai is propagating the object of devotion for kosen-rufu that Nichiren Daishonin, while enduring great persecution, inscribed for the happiness of the people of the Latter Day.
