"There are two kinds of benefit
that derive from faith in the Gohonzon:
conspicuous and inconspicuous.
Conspicuous benefit is the obvious,
visible benefit of being protected
or being quickly able
to surmount a problem when it arises,
be it an illness
or a conflict in a personal relationship.
Inconspicuous benefit
is good fortune accumulated slowly but steadily,
like the growth of a tree
or the rising of the tide,
which results in the forging
of a rich and expansive state of life.
We might not discern any change from day to day,
but as the years pass,
it will be clear that we've become happy,
that we've grown as individuals. "
