Sho Hondo

October marks the completion of the multimillion-
dollar Sho Hondo Grand Main Temple in Taisekiji,
Japan.
Three thousand Buddhist Americans prepare to
embark on a pilgrimage to meet their mentor
and pray to the Dai-Gohonzon, the great mandala
inscribed by the Buddha Nichiren in 1279 for the
salvation of humankind.
What will they find?
Travel with them on their adventure, seen through
the eyes of a 22-year old clarinet player in the NSA
Brass Band.
