Kigan or Gokigan is a prayer to the Gohozon for one’s wishes to be fulfilled. A mere prayer, is not regarded as a sincere and true prayer. According to the law of cause and effect based on the teachings of Buddhism, first of all, we should engage in the practices as the cause to invite the Goriyaku as the effect. Then what kind of prayer is the best cause for all sorts of desires to be fulfilled? Nissen Shonin stated in his Gokyoka,
“Chant the Odaimoku with the prayer, ‘May the teaching and the practice propagate widely to others’ as your foremost prayer. Your worldly wishes will be heard without doubt.
