MY NAMES

Mr. Yumiji Hongo has written on the psychological aspects of the word “disciple” which I occasionally use regarding members. I found this essay rather interesting, so I would like to add a few words. At present, my activities are directed mainly by the Tathagata of Divine Light, which is on the same level as the […]

DISCIPLESHIP

Meishu-sama constantly speaks of his “disciples.” At meetings or on other occasions, we frequently hear this reference, but exactly who is Meishu-sama referring to at these times? One could be justified in saying that on these occasions, Meishu-sama is referring to those who have received the sacred focal point that was written directly by him […]

I AM A SCIENTIST OF THE SPIRIT

Though it might sound odd for me, a specialist in religion to describe myself as a scientist, yet anyone who reads this to the end will be convinced that the description is accurate. As I often say, modern science is still on a level too low to be called science at all. Contemporary science places […]

MY HEALTH PLAN

I should like to explain the method I myself follow in keeping fit. This year I am sixty-seven years old according to the Western way of reckoning age, but I am more hale and hearty than many men in the prime of life. I frequently climb the hill on whose slopes our new headquarters is […]

SEKAI KYUSEI KYO AND MYSELF

As all members understand, our religion is quite different from all preceding religions. Though I cannot give a detailed explanation here, I should like to describe the difference briefly. Most religions in Japan are of one or two general kinds. The first kind, which is so simple as almost to fall outside the category of […]

BEING MIDWIFE TO WORLD CIVILIZATION

This is where Sekai Kyusei Kyo appeared and pointed out the errors in the already failed civilization. In this sense, I am now writing the text for the creation of a new civilization. Essentially this project inclines strongly neither to the vertical nor to the horizontal, but is the teaching of an adaptable, indestructible truth, […]

THE LIGHT FROM THE EAST

The expression “The Light from the East” appeared in southern Europe about two thousand years ago. Knowledge of the phrase gradually spread, and today the world over are familiar with it. People have not understood the true meaning of this phrase, however; and it has remained a mistery throughout the centuries. I wish to let […]

HEROES OF PEACE

I think that when the word “hero” is spoken, it stimulates a feeling of admiration within the heart of almost any person. On the other hand, however, I must confess that I have a feeling of something inexplicably unsatisfactory about it which comes with that sense of admiration. I don’t think this is true only […]

MY SINGLE SUFFERING

I, too, have my sufferings. Since my task is to blaze a new trail in a bleak and lightless world such as that of the present, Satan and Devadatta (a cousin and disciple of the Buddha who turned against, and even plotted the death of his master; he has come to be a symbol of […]

MY LIGHT

Some readers no doubt are astonished by the things I have written about Buddhism – things that have been divinely revealed to me, though never said by anyone before. It is merely a matter of timing that has prevented God from making these things clear before. For a long time darkness and ignorance have prevailed, […]

WHO IS THE SAVIOR?

I consider this an unusual title for an article, as I am sure the reader does. In order to explain it, I must now give a psychological account of myself. I should say in advance that my chief aim here has been to view the workings of my inner mind objectively and without the least […]

A LIVING GOD

Most of the people who have seen me for the first time say that they have been stunned by my unexpected simplicity and straightforwardness. They say they were timid and nervous until they saw me, thinking that I would be hard to approach, that I would perhaps be surrounded by attendants, and that they could […]

MY WAY OF THINKING

I have a habit of thinking quite thoroughly about everything I wish to do. Many people, once they have made a plan, simply cannot wait to set about their work immediately. To make matters worse, they tend to rely too much on chance, thinking things will take care of themselves once they start. But they […]

WHAT I AM

Some time ago I wrote an article on myself entitled “What I Am, as Viewed by Myself.” This was written from an objective viewpoint. Now, I am going to write about myself more subjectively – about my true feel ing, just as it is. At present, I truly believe that I am perhaps the happiest […]

I WRITE THE TRUTH

I have been working on the church’s teachings for more than ten years; needless to say, all have been centered on the subject of spiritual truth. I have taken great care to write in a simple style, leaving out archaic or moralistic statements so my words can be easily understood by people of all walks […]
