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 […]
