MUSASHI AND ZEN

Question: It is said that Miyamoto Musashi achieved a “unity of sword and zen,” and that he did not have to kill an opponent or protect himself, that he had freedom from all ideas with perfect serenity. Are there such effects? Meishu-Sama: Yes, there are, but they differ from “freedom from all ideas with perfect […]

THE COMMON COLD

The following four sections are devoted to a discussion of specific illnesses. My underlying theme is medical science and the harm it does by its purely physical approach to the human body and its emphasis on material therapy. Let us take the common cold first, something almost everyone experiences at some time or other. Still […]

WHAT IS DISEASE?

As we begin to talk about disease, the first question is, what is disease? Very simply, it is a process of eliminating impurities that should not be in the physical body. Without impurities, blood circulation would be vigorous and one would enjoy-full, robust- health and be able to live an active life thr9ughout the year. […]

ANATOMY OF MEDICINE

Having outlined the great misconceptions of medical science, now I want to examine more carefully this field of endeavor in more practical detail. If we analyze medicine in terms of its own goal–healing–what do we see? My answer is critical, but not for-criticism’s sake. I simply want to point out exactly where it has failed. […]

THE EIGHT GREAT DRAGON KINGS

Question: About the eight great kings,1 1) especially the affinity of the dragon deities that were confined to the seas around Japan; 2) their present activities; and 3) the meaning of your poem, “Yatariotome / Became one divine spirit / And descended / To this earth plane / As the deity Izunome.” (Yatariotome tada hitokashira […]

THOUSAND-ARMED KANNON AND PRINCESS OTOHIME

Question: I would like to ask about the relationship between the Thousand-Armed Kannon and Princess Otohime and about their relationship to our physical world.

DISEASE AND MEDICAL SCIENCE

Modern civilization is plagued by three powerful afflictions, war, disease, and poverty. Of these, disease is the fundamental cause of human miseries. Poverty will disappear on its own accord once the other two problems are resolved. War is a sickness of the soul, a spiritual failing, which can be remedied only when disease is understood […]

WHAT IS DISEASE?

As we begin to talk about disease the first question is, what is disease? Very simply it is a process of eliminating impurities that should not be in the physical body, Without any impurities, blood circulation would be excellent and one would enjoy perfect, vigorous health and be able to live a fully active life […]

PREPARATION FOR PARADISE

The idea of heaven has been expressed in many ways. The concepts may differ, but they all convey the same hope for human happiness, In the West utopia is an expression of secular thought, while “heaven” is the Biblical term, In the Buddhist sutras one can find, among others, the “world of the Maitreya—bodhisattva” (paradise) […]

EVIL AND SALVATION

Countless religions have come into being since antiquity, and all of them, invariably, have advocated good and denounced evil. The elimination of evil has in fact been the raison d’être of every religion we know. By now, however, we are aware that evil has been a valuable, necessary tool that God has put to work […]

HEALTH AND LONGEVITY

Before we go deeply into medical science, there are many things about health and the human life span that everyone should know. If medical science were truly the art of healing, the number of sick would steadily decrease and life would be prolonged. After centuries of medicine, if it had accomplished what it was supposed […]

EVIL AND DISEASE

The Supreme God has summoned to His full power the hidden reserve of good to vanquish the dominant force of evil forever, He has come to cleanse our civilization and to create an entirely new world. This is what we mean by divine providence. How did evil subjugate man in the first place? Let us […]

SPIRITS OF GOOD AND EVIL

Through the centuries it has been far more difficult to explain evil than good. We have seen how evil served a specific purpose in God’s plan. It will soon cease to serve that purpose, but to eradicate it altogether is another matter. This represents a subtle part of God’s Providence, which will become clear as […]

EARTHLY PARADISE AND THE END OF EVIL

To build paradise in this world, among all its people, the evil that dwells deep in the hearts of men must first be completely banished. People are endowed with an intuitive abhorrence of evil and they instinctively avoid as it as far as they can. We created ethics and morals to assist us in guarding […]

DO GHOSTS EXIST?

Throughout the centuries opinions have been divided as to whether or not ghosts exist, and no definite conclusions have been firmly established at the present time. My own conclusion on this subject is that they do exist. I say this because I know they are real; nobody can deny something that has been proven to […]

CIVILIZATION MISCONCEIVED

This is a book of catalytic truths that will uproot the very foundations on whi.ch civilization stands. It contains the final insight into the culture man has fashioned and the roles played by religion and philosophy, science and art, and all else in human history. All who read with care will find themselves chanced and […]

KO-NO-HANA AND KI-NO-HANA

Question: How do Ko-no-hana木花 and Ko-no-hana兄花 differ?

THE EARTH BREATHES

All things – not just animals but plants and minerals as well – breathe. In fact, the planet Earth itself breathes, as I shall now explain. Earth breathes once a year. Exhalation begins in the spring and reaches its climax in the summer. The exhaled breath of the Earth, like that of human beings, is […]

DAMAGE FROM TYPHOONS AND FLOODS

Both the governmental and the private sectors are anxious to do something to prevent the ever-increasing crop damage caused by typhoons and floods. Proper preventive measures would require enormous expenditure, and for the moment one has to be content with stopgaps. Nevertheless, so long as great losses are incurred each year, action of some kind […]

RAISING TANGERINES FOR FORTY YEARS THROUGH NATURAL FARMING

Not long ago, a member of our organization gave me tangerines from a tree he has been cultivating for forty years without the use of fertilizers. I ate some at once and can say I have never found anything so delicious. Fellow believers often give me naturally cultivated fruits and vegetables that, though certainly more […]

HOME VEGETABLE GARDENS

So far, I have directed my explanations largely at people who farm for a living, but I would like to conclude with some words on the domestic garden. With nature farming, the method is clean and sanitary, and crops are surprisingly good, abundant, and flavorful. There is no need to worry about damage from insects […]

INSECT PESTS

The three greatest burdens on the agricultural community in recent times have been the high cost of fertilizers, insect pests, and damage from wind and storm. I have already dealt adequately with the topic of fertilizer, and would now like to speak in detail about insect pests. Harmful insects breed because of fertilizers, which pollute […]

NATURE FARMING – PREFACE

To explain nature farming in terms of fundamental theory, I must begin with a discussion of the nature of soil. The Creator made soil for the cultivation of grains and other vegetables essential to the support of life. Consequently, the essence of soil is a mystery far beyond the complete comprehension of modern materialistic science. […]

THE ROLE OF FLOWERS IN ESTABLISHING PARADISE ON EARTH

The main purpose of our work is to help establish Paradise on Earth. What, then, is Paradise on Earth? It is a world where truth, virtue and beauty are manifested fully in our daily lives. Of course, our teachings on health and Nature Farming are the most important guidelines by which to realize our objective. […]

CONSTRUCTION OF MINIATURE PARADISES

As we observe the condition of modern society, we cannot but feel there are many deplorable things happening in Japan, about which we are informed daily by press and radio. Aside from the war, we can mention corrupt practices of public officials, murders, robberies, thefts, fraud, shoplifting, suicides both on individual and family levels, problems […]

A THOUGHT ON THE NEW CIVILIZATION

That we call the new civilization is, in simple language, a world of beauty. In man this means the beauty of the mind and heart and spirit. His words and actions, of course, must also be beautiful. This is the beauty of the individual, and when it is extended, the beauty of society comes into […]

PARADISE IS A WORLD OF BEAUTY

Our members well know that God’s Purpose is to create an ideal world where truth, virtue and beauty reign in their perfect forms. Needless to say, the dark forces have a goal that is completely opposite to this, one that fosters falsehood, vice and ugliness. Since falsehood and vice are well-understood terms I don’t think […]

MAKING ART AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC

I am going to write on the fundamental significance of the recent con struction of our art museum. As I have repeatedly said, the goal of our work is to help create a world where truth, virtue and beauty are manifested in their perfect forms. Of these three, in order to manifest beauty, I have […]

A RELIGION OF ART

People in general have thought for a long time that religion and art have very little to do with each other. In Japan, art had its inception in Buddhism. Of course, this was in the form of quite simple paintings, sculptures, and fabrics. In the field of music there were such instruments as sho (a […]

PARADISE IS A WORLD OF ART

I have said repeatedly that Paradise on Earth will be a world of art. However, this statement is too ambiguous. Truly, fine arts, literature and other forms of entertainment will flourish in the New Age, which is wonderful to contemplate. But to tell the truth, this is not enough; I believe all art forms should […]

THE ART OF GOD

As inhabitants of this modern world, we must have a clear perception of what kind of age we are living in. I am going to write about the fact that we are living in a world in which, through the inventions of radio and television, we can know everything that is happening on this planet […]

THE MISSION OF ART

Everything that exists in the world has a function that is necessary for human society; that is, everything has a mission given to it by God. Art is no exception. Since this is so, an artist, who is a member of society, should realize his role and do his best to accomplish his mission. This, […]

THE IMPORTANCE OF ART

These days, many people seem to think that everything can be handled by science. But there are a certain number of important things which cannot be controlled by scientists, however hard they may try. Surprisingly few individuais seem to realize this. What I have in mind primarily is art. I am not saying that there […]

RELIGION AND ART

It has been and still is the opinion of people in general that there is little relationship between religion and art. However, this is a greatly mistaken idea. It is the very mission of art to elevate man’s awareness, to enrich his daily life so it is pleasurable and meaningful. When we look upon lovely […]

ELIMINATING FEARS

As I have said repeatedly, the goal of our church is the salvation of mankind. Simply stated, the salvation of mankind means the elimination of all the fears that plague human society. The greatest of these fears, as you realize, are disease, poverty and conflict. Of these, sickness is undoubtedly the most formidable, for nothing […]

IS IT GOOD OR BAD TO BORROW MONEY?

For some twenty years I experienced all kinds of suffering, due to my debts. Several times my property was attached and once I went into bankruptcy, so you can imagine the financial suffering I endured. From these experiences I reached a kind of attitude or “philosophy on debts,” about which I am going to write. […]

CAUSE OF POVERTY

As you know, the goal of our church is to establish a world which is free from disease, poverty and conflict. I have discussed and explained various aspects of disease from every possible angle. I shall continue to clarify the problem of disease from the point of view of the art of spiritual healing revealed […]

DO NOT IGNORE MATHEMATICAL CALCULATION

I believe what is most lacking in Japanese politicians is economic knowledge. Economic knowledge, in essence, is the ability to calculate. Not only in politics but also in every other human affair, nobody can be successful if he ignores this. When I say calculation, I do not mean monetary computing alone; no one can clearly […]

THE REASONS GREAT GENIUSES ARE BORN

A lot has been printed in the newspapers lately about a five-year-old child who can paint wonderful pictures. I would like to write on how prodigies such as this one are born. Outstanding geniuses have appeared every once in a while throughout the written history of man. We have often heard of famous musicians in […]

BAD INFLUENCE OF EARLY SCHOOLING

It seems to me that in recent years people in general have developed intelectually while they have degenerated mentally. This may sound odd, but what it means is this: People who are mentally shallow, though witty and clever on the surface, have increased in number, while it has become difficult to find individuals who have […]

MY PHILOSOPHY ON BEING IN DEBT

I suffered from debts for a long period of time, as I have said before, and I feel nothing is more depressing than this. Once a person falls into debt, he usually finds it quite difficult to pay off, as most people must know from their own experiences. At the time an individual borrows money, […]

A NEWSPAPER THAT INSPIRES VIRTUE

As I read the many kinds of newspapers and magazines published today, l am appalled at the number of items and articles dealing with evil deeds such as burglary, murder, theft, fraud, illegal business transactions, illegal disposition of merchandise, concealing of valuable goods, smuggling, suicide, double suicide, and adultery. If people outside of Japan read […]

LAWMAKING BODY AND LAW-ERASING BODY

The national Diet of Japan (the national assembly) is referred to as a law-making body. This is because new laws are being made every year. It is not something to be proud of, however, for it is because of the crimes which are increasing all the time that members feel they have to constantly make […]

RELIGION AND GOVERNMENT

Religion and government are closely related; yet, strangely, most people have not paid much attention to this fact. In the past, governmental administrators did not like to see any religion touching upon politics, and religion in general was oppressed. This was the actual state in Japan up to the end of World War II, a […]

ARE EVILS IN SOCIETY THE RESULTS OF ENVIRONMENT?

There is an old saying in Japan, “Where there are sound assets, there is a sound mind.” This means that when people have a sufficient supply of the necessities of life they are virtuous in word and deed, and there are quite a number of prominent people who attribute the present state of Japan, its […]

ELIMINATION OF EVIL

Evil is the committing of acts such as intimidating others, making them suffer for one’s own interests, or corrupting society. These evil deeds do a great deal of harm to society in general, as well as to individuals. In every field of human activity, there seems to be no one who is not a victim […]

GOOD PEOPLE CAN BE SUCCESSFUL

This title may sound very strange, but I would like to write on the subject because it is something to which most people seldom pay attention. With few exceptions, those who have notably succeeded in big enterprises, and in small businesses as well, both in the East and in the West, are almost all akunin* […]

UNIQUE QUALITY OF JAPANESE CULTURE

There is a certain thing I would very much like the Japanese people to be aware of. It concerns the special national character of Japan and the unique quality of its people. Had they had this understanding in the depths of their hearts, Japan would not have experienced the tragic fate of defeat and national […]

THE COUNTRY GOVERNED BY MICHI (THE WAY OF TRUTH)

Needless to say, Japan is a law-governed country. All the so-called civilized countries in the world are governed by law, without exception. However, rule by law or by a constitution is not an ideal way of control ling a country. Facts are the best evidence of this. History shows how difficult it is to eradicate […]

THE TRUE CAUSE OF INSECURITY IN SOCIETY

The authorities complain of the increase of crimes and often ask what can be done about them. Let me write my opinion on this. Plainly speaking, modern people have not as yet reached the stage of completion as true human beings. The reason I say so is that they still have a lot of beast-like […]

CAUSE OF CRIME IN SOCIETY

I am going to discuss crime in society, which is the greatest problem of Japan today. To begin with, it is necessary to examine the efficiency of the countermeasures against social crimes which are being taken by Japan ‘s leaders. Statesmen are trying to control evils by making laws and regulations as stringent as possible. […]

MATERIALISM CREATES EVIL

This title may sound a little too severe. I cannot help that, however, since it is a true statement. We can say that materiahsm or atheism is a most dangerous idea from our point of view. Frankly, if we knew for a fact there were no God in this Universe, many of us would have […]

SEMI-CIVILIZED AGE

Everybody believes that the modern world is one of the most advanced civilizations ever known. In comparison with a barbarie, undeveloped, primitive period it certainly is highly developed. Nobody would be able to deny, however, that its progress is on the material side only and that spiritually it has not outgrown a half-barbaric state as […]

TOXINS PERSISTING FOR HALF A CENTURY

At the age of eighteen, I contracted pleurisy. The treatment consisted of opening a hole in my side and draining off about two hundred grams of fluid. Germicides were used in the operation. Later the illness recurred. this time I was given medicines. The combined effects of the medicines and the disinfectants caused a hard […]

THE TRUE CAUSE OF ILLNESS

As I said in the preceding section, human beings possess various toxins when they are born into this world. Since it is impossible to maintain perfectly good health because of the obstruction these toxins create, the body is constituted to undergo a constant natural purification process to eliminate them physiologically. This natural purification process is […]

HEALTH IS EVERYTHING

Theologians and journalists are mistaken when they insist that those religions which stress the cure of illness – or the promotion of good health – are somehow inferior because they concentrate on practical benefits. Illness is a tremendous hindrance to society as well as a cause of great suffering, and a thorough examination of contemporary […]

SPIRITUAL HEALING

From various angles, I have explained that the world of day will be a world in which the spiritual precedes the physical. Toxins accumulated as material substances in the human body are the fundamental causes of illness. In the spiritual being, clouds occur in zones corresponding to the areas in the physical body where these […]

THE GREAT WORLD TRANSITION

I shall now explain in detail how the Johrei that I originated came into being, and why no one else has so far realized the causes of sickness and the uselessness of almost all existing therapeutic methods. The universe is composed of some things as limitless as the sky and others so minute that they […]

THE PRINCIPLE OF JOHREI

I The general educational level today makes explanation of this principle most difficult. There is nothing to be done about this, however, as long as education remains structured on materialism. In fact, however, the written records and traditions handed down by word of mouth of founders of virtually all religions include mention of miracles. This […]

MEDICINE: A CAUSE OF WRONGDOING

Most readers will probably be surprised by the title of this article. The idea of a relation between wrongdoing and medicine is indeed startling. Yet astounding as it may seem, there is actually a very serious connection between the two. Medicine, as I often insist, is poison. When it enters the body, the blood becomes […]

THE WAY TO BE BEAUTIFUL

There are three major kinds of beauty: artificial, natural, and emotional. Artificial beauty is the result of using powders and rouges, but natural beauty is the result of good health and good circulation; it is the beauty of vitality and vigor. Emotional beauty springs from the heart and inspires respect and affection in others. Today […]

WHAT IS THE COMMON COLD?

It´s probably impossible for the ordinary person living as a member of society to avoid catching cold. Becoming chilled is generally regarded as the cause of colds, and it is difficult to avoid the condition that presents itself many times everyday when one may get chilled: undressing before going to bed, dressing upon waking, bathing, […]

TRANSITION FROM NIGHT TO DAY (SPECIAL PARADISE )

All occurrences in the physical world are projections of occurrences in the spiritual world. Everything becomes clear if it is realized that a great transition has recently been taking place in the Spiritual World. From God’s point of view essentially all things in the Universe are created and destroyed as a result of the action […]

MEDICINE’S BLIND POINTS AND THE BENEFICENT POWERS OF NATURE

The greatest mistake of modern medicine is ignoring completely the natural powers with which human beings are innately endowed. We often hear of people who, when taken sick, go immediately to the doctor. After examining them, the doctor says, “It’s a good thing you came to me without delay. If you had waited longer, it […]

HUMAN BEING AS VESSELS FOR HEALTH

Since humankind was made to be healthy, we must correct the old belief that human beings are vessels filled with illnesses. Nothing could be further from the truth. A human being is a vessel for health. Nonetheless, we are subject to illness, and since the problem seems insoluble, many people give up and accept what […]

MEDICINE AND SPORT

Athletes, who have splendid bodies and great physical strength, are generally considered likely to die fairly young. Why this should happen is a riddle to medical science, but the following are the reasons. Although there are many kinds of sports, a person usually specializes in only one kind. Consequently the athlete repeats the same movements […]

WHAT IS SICKNESS

All human beings have both innate toxins, inherited from their parents, and acquired medicine toxins, which enter the body after birth. Most people find this statement surprising. From ancient times the belief was accepted, and served as the central idea underlying medical practice, that medicine was something that cured disease and improved health, and that, […]

MEDICINE TOXINS I

I shall now go on to explain the grave danger of medicine toxins, in general, aside from what I call the “hereditary toxins.” In all ages and all places, it has been considered sensible to take medicine when ill, just as it is to eat when hungry. The idea that medicines cure is deeply ingrained. […]

TRUE HEALTH AND FALSE HEALTH

Almost all humankind – or at least almost alli members of the “civilized” peoples – are ill. Some are not visibly sick while some are manifestly so. In other words, the people actually suffering are clearly ill, and the apparently healthy suffer from latent illness. Here I shall deal only with the condition of the […]

URINARY TOXIN

As has frequently been pointed out, especially hard toxins that persist in the body as the result of generations of use of medicines and that are thus not readily discharged, tend to accumulate where the nerves are most dense. Since we tense our waists, hips, and backs in the positions we assume during various activities, […]

A WAY FOR ANYONE TO PUT ON WEIGHT

A large number of people who are born thin yet want to put on weight try all kinds of methods to no avail. Practically everyone has at some time seen a woman with lovely facial features who was too thin to allow her innate good looks to show to best effect, and has thought regretfully […]

LOW-GRADE FEVER

Though only some people are aware of it, probably no one today is without what is called low-grade fever. Because of the surprisingly great influence it has on the human body, I shall now discuss this kind of fever. A persistent slight fever causes headaches, heaviness in the head, lack of psychological concentration, distraction, diminished […]

THE THREE KINDS OF TOXINS

All illnesses are caused by the three toxins: accumulated toxin ( nendoku ), urinary toxin ( nyodoku ), and medicine toxin ( yakudoku ). Accumulated toxin could also be called hereditary medicine toxin since it is transmitted from generation to generation and is ultimately transformed into an independent kind of toxin. Urinary toxin results from […]

BALANCED PURIFICATION

The person who administers Johrei must remember the principle of “balanced purification.” For example, pain in the right arm may disappear, but then develop in the left arm. The pain seems to move from one arm to the other, but this is really an example of balanced purification: cleansing must take place in an equalized […]

JOHREI AND THE THREE-ELEMENT COMPOSITION OF THE INTERNAL ORGANS

Among the internal organs, the function of the heart, lungs, and stomach has the greatest importance to human life. I shall now explain how they act in terms of the three fundamental elements of fire, water, and soil. The heart absorbs the fire element, the lungs the water element, and the stomach the soil element; […]

AN ANALYSIS OF TOXINS

I shall now turn to an explanation of toxins. Basically, toxin is something that taints the blood, or clouds the spirit. This tainting or clouding arises, of course, as a result of contamination through evil. The idea of contamination has been made much of by religions since ancient time, but so far accounts of it […]

DIVINE POSSESSION AFTER JOINING OOMOTO

After I became a member of the Oomoto religion, I tried as much as possible to increase my knowledge of faith and read Oomoto publications whenever I had the chance. In those days, the only sacred text available in the Oomoto faith were the prophetic writings of Oomoto’s founder, Nao Deguchi, so I, as well […]

A RELIGION THAT HELPS TO DEVELOP FULFILLED INDIVIDUALS

What is the purpose of religion? Primarily, religion was originated by the Love of God for the purpose of guiding unfortunate human beings to the fulfillment of true happiness. It is nothing other than that. As you know, everybody living in this world is doing his best to become happy, but however hard he may […]

NATURAL AND UNNATURAL DEATH

Death is the extinction of life that occurs when, like a tree that withers and dies, the physical being is no longer capable of living. The numerous causes of death can be grouped into two major categories: natural and unnatural. Natural death comes when the living being’s allotted spanof years has been exhausted. Unnatural death […]

MAN’S THREE SPIRITS

Man is often called a child of God and is also referred to as a temple of God. This is because man’s soul – the center of his being – is an individualized part of God which has come to the Earth with a mission assigned by Him, as stated before. This is man’s primary […]

SPIRITUAL CORD

Many people seem to be unfamiliar with the term “spiritual cord,” probably because the existence of the cord is not generally known. While the spiritual cord is invisible, being of exceedingly fine texture – finer than atmosphere – its role and influence in all phases of physical life are so great, it cannot be lightly […]

LIFE AND DEATH

Since ancient times, people have devoted more energy to the problem of death than to any other. Nothing is more terrifying than death, which puts an end to all happiness and hopes. Yet with the exception of certain special cases, the majority of deaths are caused, one might say inevitably, by sickness. Most deaths occurring […]

ADMONITIONS FROM ANCESTRAL SPIRITS

Because they sincerely hope for the happiness and prosperity of their descendants, ancestral spirits are ceaselessly sending them warnings to prevent their making mistakes and doing evil that runs contrary to their own well-being, and to help them avoid falling into negative ways. When their posterity left in this world are lured by evil forces […]

“DEPARTMENT STORE” CHURCH

In order to explain World Messianity in the easiest way, I might call it a :”department store” church. I know this does not sound suitable for a religious organization, but I think the term is the most apt for the nature of our work. I will explain why this is so. As I have always […]

A RELIGION WHICH MANIFESTS THE REALITY OF GOD

When we try to guide unbelievers to faith in God, we often experience complete rejection. Most such individuals say, “It is absolutely impossible for me to believe that any God or gods or other spiritual beings exist. Let them show themselves if they do.” Such people seem to think they are highly cultured individuals and […]

A WORLD WITHOUT ILLNESS, POVERTY AND CONFLICT

Most people regard a world without illness, poverty, and conflict as an unattainable ideal; but our movement is not afraid to say that it believes firmly in its realization. The fundamental way to create such a world is to eliminate illness. People who become ill must spend money on treatment and may be forced to […]

THE EXISTENCE OF THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

For what purpose are we sent into this world? We must first have the answer to this question if we are to find happiness and a sense of fulfillment in life. The answer is that God created human beings in order that He might establish an ideal world in fulfillmem of His Plan for this […]

FULLFIMENT OF PROPHECY OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

I believe that in the Bible there are three especially important prophecies to be noted. These are: a final judgment, the kingdom of heaven at hand, and the second coming of Christ. Of the three, the judgment will be directly performed by God when He is ready, and the second coming of Christ will be […]

JUDGEMENT IN THE SPIRITUAL WORLD

A human being is supposed to do his best for the benefit of human society while he is in this world by fulfilling the mission given to him by God. However, most people perceive only the outward appearance of things and therefore repeatedly commit negative acts without realizing they are doing so. For this reason, […]

THE UNKNOWN WORLD

The world in which we live and breathe is a material one, and is what could be called the world of first dimension. Death transfers us to the spiritual realm, or the world of second dimension, whose nature is unknown to the human mind. Since the spiritual world is invisible and beyond human conception, it […]

A FAITH THAT TRANSCENDS RELIGION

The goal of our church – the establishment of Paradise on Earth, a world free from disease, poverty and conflict – probably sounds to most people like a daydream, the idle fancy of fools. lt is true that Jesus said, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand,” but he did not say, “I am going […]

JUVENILE DELINQUENCY

The problem of juvenile delinquency has recently become a matter of great public concern. However, it seems that as yet no appropriate solution to this problem has been found. All the various ideas we hear today as to preventive measures regrettably stress only minor details, with not one that touches the core of the matter. […]

DAIJO RELIGION

It is a well known fact that all religions (especially Buddhism) have divisions of both Daijo and of Shojo, but it seems to me that the meaning of these has not been thoroughly understood up to now, so I am going to give my viewpoint. Daijo expresses the pattern of Nature. This includes all the […]

A LIVING RELIGION

You may wonder what I mean when I say there are living religions and dead religions. A living religion is one which is in close touch with material life and a dead religion is its opposite. Of the numerous religions in existence, those which are perfectly fitted to everyday living are few and far between, […]

WHAT IS TRUE SALVATION

Today, the pet phrase of the critics toward us is, “It is wrong for this Church to be engaged in healing, in spite of the fact that it is a religion.” When we think deeply about this, we realize that nothing is more illogical. These critics must have a stereotyped idea that religions should offer […]
