Extracts from Gods' Messages to TEN-DAN managers |
HOME(2)
1.
All stars belong to solar system move around their center… sun.
NIJUU HAS-SHUKU (*1) carry constellations around their
center…
pole-star, and
the earth turn round on its center… SHU-MI (*2).
KI (*3)
flow round on one point of physical center… GEN-KAN (*4).
And people as well SHO-TEN SHIN-SEI (*5) work around theircenter…
RAUM. No activities of TEN-DOU work without each center.
If you wish you had TEN-DOU always in your
mind, you should
regard that the TEN-MEI …
Command or Mission of the Heaven …
originated from RAUM and as the
representative of 18th Messiah
YUMI-NAGA SO… our Teacher… the
RYOU-DOU RI-JI KAI has been
executing it.
(*1)
NIJUU HAS-SHUKU: Twenty eight ‘signs’ where specified guardian Gods
of RI-TEN enshrined
(*2) SHU-MI: Legend has it that there has been a holy mountain in the
center
of the earth God knows either where is it and since when it has been
there.
(*3) KI: Wave motion or energy as the origin of material, which fill everywhere
in the
Macrocosm.
(*4) GEN-KAN:
Sacred spot of body where soul stay to control physical being.
(*5) SHO-TEN SHIN-SEI:
A general term of Gods in RI-TEN.
2. There is RAUM at the center
for activity of both SO-SHI (*1) and
ON-SHI (*2) and the great
Mission of Heaven is executing on the
center of ON-SHI, so that there is no TEN-DOU without Center.
Therefore you should know the Center of TEN-DOU must be
RYOU-DOU
RI-JI KAI.
(*1) SO-SHI: MI-ROKU BO-SATSU. Teacher of Our Teacher
YUMI-NAGA.
(*2)
ON-SHI: Our Teacher. This is the translation word for word.
3. The Center of organization
of TEN-DOU is the SOU-TEN-DAN and
its management center, that
is, the board of directors is RYOU-DOU
RI-JI KAI, which controls
local mission bases and fasten their unity.
There would be no progress
in TEN-DOU without Center.
4.
The management of Center is the life of local activities. If one wish
TEN-DOU to achieve their prosperity, one should have to make
much of the recognition of Center, to make local bases solid and keep
strong cooperation structure with the Center. That is, no TEN-DOU
without bonds.
5.
TEN-MEI come from directly ON-SHI originated from God, which
one could never deprive of. It must be God not human make TEN-
MEI come down. You never fail to obey it. The TEN-MEI you owe is
the Mission of great importance. It is your very life to accomplish it.
6.
It must depend on how DOU-SHIN could make his mind better one
by one to improve the weak constitution of TEN-DOU. Therefore you
have to inform DOU-SHIN the Intention of Center now and then,
that is, on what TEN-DOU should center to execute the TEN-MEI.
7.
You ought bear in mind that whatever their appearance might be
changed the direction you have to aim in the Way shall never be
influenced. To obey whom has TEN-MEI is the very same to follow
me ( ON-SHI ). Therefore I have been managed recent TEN-DOU
through the physical body who should have TEN-MEI.
12. You ought to accomplish both
TEN-DOU and JIN-DOU (the Way of
Humankind) as well as both ethics and morals. You
must have much
trust in others so as
to create a reliable relationship with each other
and make TEN-DOU sure
become a beautiful and bright charitable
institution of faith and
sincerity.
13. You should be familiar with
others using JIN (perfect virtue of love)
and behave as a
person of character respecting REI (decorum) so
that you could foster SHIN (trust, belief or reliability,
confidence).
14. You should make much of
discipline your mind and moral behavior
with regarding the
basic GO-JOU (*1) HAT-TOKU (*2) in order to
foster SHIN.
(*1) GO-JOU: Five Virtues originally
inherent in MU-KYOKU (Nothing
… the
state before the Creation). They are such as shown bellow.
1)
JIN: Love, fellowship and mercy
2)
REI: Decorum, modesty and humility
3)
SHIN: Belief, trust and confidence
4)
GI: Justice, devotion and faithfulness
5)
CHI: Wisdom, wits and intelligence
(*2) HAT-TOKU: Eight sorts of
virtues derived from GO-JOU, which
contain some
original virtues besides them.
15. The marrow and pith of TEN-DOU is
SHU-GEN (*1). That person
must be the very man
of TEN-DOU who has mastered SHU-GEN
and achieved to be a
super-man. Do your best to SHU-GEN.
(*1)
SHU-GEN: To make one’s mind to GEN-KAN concentrates.
A kind of meditation such as Yoga or ZEN.
( notes )
(1)
It goes without saying that TEN-DOU people should have to keep
SHU-GEN,
but it would be nonsense to make the best their Way
unless
they have not yet finished with the basic way of human
ethics
and morals.
(2)
Even if one might be looked up to as a leader, he should not only
endeavor
both SHU-GEN and KEN-SAN (*1) without working in
DEN-DOU
(*2). TEN-DOU is not a school, but an exercise hall of
sincerity.
It is DEN-DOU how to keep KI at the GEN-KAN. TEN-DOU
without DEN-DOU might be inferior to other religions.
(*1)
KEN-SAN; Study or learn about TEN-DOU.
(*2)
DEN-DOU; Spread TEN-DOU (the Messages of Gods) among
the world.
(3)
The trinity of DEN-DOU, KEN-SAN and SHU-GEN would be
great
help of you. To know, to realize and to act. To know again in
order to
act. To be lost in SHU-GEN in order to know well. You have to
understand that it may as well take your life in TEN-DOU,
even though
you might have missed training only one of them.
(4)
If only you could have realized what your inner self is, thereafter you
had better take the initiative in outer DEN-DOU than inner study.
16. Realization is
‘conviction’ of JOU-BUTSU (*1). No one could
achieve the conviction without keeping SHU-GEN. Shall it be
excusable for
a man who was already initiated SAN-POU that he has
not yet tasted
going into ecstasies over SHU-GEN?
(*1) JOU-BUTSU: Become one
of Buddha (a God in RI-TEN).
17. Nothing must be more exquisite
thing in TEN-DOU than SHU-GEN,
where one would feel KI like air he breathed through his nose and
so that he might know the gateway of soul and through the
concentration feel becoming a living Buddha.
Feel at your GEN-KAN and convince the achievement of living
Buddha. It must be the justification by both faith alone and
work.
Keep SHU-GEN and you shall get peace of mind.
18. DEN-DOU SHA (*1) should make it a
rule to know well of GU-DOU
SHA (*2) and then preach a sermon ( talk about
TEN-DOU )
according to their personality, so that he should be sure a man of
wisdom who would be able to make many-sided discourse on the
Way.
(*1)
DEN-DOU SHA: DOU-SHIN. People initiated SAN-POU is
generally called DOU-SHIN as well as DEN-DOU SHA, that is,
man of mission to spread TEN-DOU among general public.
(*2) GU-DOU SHA: People who is looking for SAN-POU.
19. It is necessary for you to make
public have as much opportunities
of lecture as possible. You shall never be conceded to have fulfilled
your duty as long as you are merely working in Mission until you
could
have made someone understand TEN-DOU and believe it
faithfully.
Keep a proper balance between both Mission and Enlightenment
(amount of both spreading the Way and the lecture).
20.Begin by accustoming yourself to
Decorum, if you wish prosperity of
TEN-DOU. Decorum is used to be executed just as local conversation
in somehow different way according to countryside. If it were once
united, people could concentrate their spirit on one point and
local
original Decorum shall be perished. If you could make great use of
their powers, it would be easy to concentrate their mind to unique
goal.
22.Review once again how to
enlighten people…
a.
Have you ever made someone enlighten or inspire, or realize the
Way since you had been initiated SAN-POU ?
b. You should know that people could never become DOU-SHIN
unless you would inspire him to be
initiated over and over again.
c. Don’t forget your mind and mood when you got SAN-POU… and
d.
You should give your thanks to God for your happiness to get the
Way, and reflect that it might be your responsibility for unhappy
people who were not yet initiated SAN-POU.
e.
You have to know the fact that it must prove the great power of
GEN-KAN which might attract people to the Way, so that you would
easily
lose your both belief and trust without realization of the
central point of
concepts.
23 Qualification to get the
Initiation.
If a man could not get the
initiation of SAN-POU without keeping
the oaths entirely,
whoever have been initiated SAN-POU never
have any qualification
to get it, so that they might have to go to Hell.
If
so, it will be no use spreading SAN-POU among SAN-KAI (*1).
Should not SAN-POU
(*2) rather have been succeeded one after
another as they had
been ? If almost all the people who got SAN-POU
surely should fall into Hell, how could the
Master gain the honor of
his authority ?
(*1)
SAN-KAI; Three worlds, that is, KI-TEN, SHOU-TEN and JI-GOKU
(Hell)
among where spirits and souls are repeating reincarnation
(life and death) in order to train themselves.
(*2) SAN-POU; Three invisible
treasure, which one will be able to be
endowed from God through the Initiation ceremony in TEN-DOU..
24.Notwithstanding its high value of
religious services one might have
accumulated in several
generations or for thousand years, it must be
far below the virtue one shall be
gotten at the moment when he is
initiated SAN-POU.
However great amount of merits one could have
accumulated in several
lives in SHOU-TEN, it must be far shorter
than that which he
will obtain when he could have saved a soul.
25. It is expected that the Way will
be so favorably extended as to make
the both home
and foreign missionary system steadily established.
As for home system, it should be needed the mutual relationship
filled with harmony
made of DOU-SHIN. And the system shall be
released from any
restrictive fixed idea and awoken to free
consciousness with the
aid of strong relationship.
As for foreign system, it would be required the world-wide active
Missionary
organization and publishing of new printings, which may
have extreme
enlightening power to spread Messages of Gods
among the world…
1)
You have to do your best to enlightening missionary activities (DEN-DOU).
That is, as a chain
of DEN-DOU, you shall make the best possible
use of your time for
a lecture in order to enlighten the earnest new comers.
You ought to have these opportunities as many as
possible.
2)
New version checklist of Newcomer shall be made, which all TEN-DAN
manager should keep at hand.
Old version one was made imperfectly. You ought to make such
a
checklist as to be installed with items of address, telephone number
besides dates of birth and the initiation, and additional notes
to be written
something about TEN-DOU.
3) Periodical meeting shall be held in order to increase new person of
ability.
Pick up the names of
DOU-SHIN who have ever been TEN-DAN
or recent KEN-SAN KAI
(Enlightening meeting), who shall be called
to
attend at the chance of lecture mentioned above(1). The
person in charge
should be responsible for calling them.
4)
Instructor ought to make it a rule to use such printing and lecture
that the
new comers shall easily be enlightened.
5)
Bring up such Instructors (KOU-DOU SHI) that have ability to go out into
the world to give public the lecture at once.
The future of
TEN-DOU depends upon excellent achievements of
Instructors. TEN-DOU
requires many competent leaders in order
to make its basis strengthen. Any leader who might be poor
at
speech, could never give
any instructions to persuade DOU-SHIN
to follow them.
It must be the same
thing that whether one could make others
understand the basic
idea of TEN-DOU well or not should depend
on how correctly one
might others show the concepts of it. Therefore,
DOU-SHIN, KOU-DOU SHI (Instructor), DAN-SHU
(TEN-DAN manager)
and TEN-DEN SHI (Master) and any other
person who plays some
responsible roll in TEN-DOU, that is, all
the people training themselves
in the Way shall be able to explain
TEN-DOU correctly and obtain the
ability of such a good talker as to
be impressed on one’s mind.
6) You ought to become such a good TEN-DAN manager as to execute
any kinds of ceremony shall be held in front of TEN-DAN.
Without
execution of any ceremony in front of TEN-DAN, nobody shall be
called a DAN-SHU. Whoever called as TEN-DAN manager should
learn the minimum necessary decorum and at least acquire the
habit
of executing daily KEN-KOU REI (incense offering ceremony) in good
faith. You shall never forget that the authorized Gods are
used to look
around the holy place such as TEN-DAN all the time.
7)
The most important thing for TEN-DAN manager is that he has a Mission
of DAN-SHU.
Wherever there is TEN-DAN, there is the Mission of
DAN-SHU come from RAUM, in front of which
the Initiation ceremony
could be available.
The settlement of TEN-DAN should have done by
Command of RAUM (TEN-MEI). Therefore, any DAN-SHU might as well
betray TEN-MEI as neglect his duty. It
will be the most important point of
problem in TEN-DOU that here mentioned above. The person in charge
of DAN-SHU affaires in local missionary bases should take care of
this
point and lead DAN-SHU appropriately.
8)
Devote your whole energies to low labors.
Clear your mind of all mundane thought, and
devote yourself. Seek
everything in your mind. If only you set yourself in low position,
everything
will be smooth sailing. Nobody could draw a circle of harmony
without the
center of it. The disturbance never fails to begin with getting out
of the
center. If the center were steady enough, general public will be
longing
for it, and gathered to make harmony there. If the communication
between
upper and lower would be frequently, lower should be obeyed and
followed to upper.
The
post based on TEN-MEI is so grave that you ought to set an example
of anything above mentioned to others. The steadier the Man’s
‘center’ is,
the longer the Mission he can keep.
26.
Now is the time where the very self-consciousness is required
TEN-DEN-SHI, DAN-SHU and other stuffs. Keep
harmony and move
against coming catastrophe gathering up each ability and
mind.
27.
Whoever become TEN-DAN manager is qualified to be endowed a
TEN-MEI from Heaven. If
DAN-SHU would keep GO-KAI (five kinds of
taboos), fulfill the duties as a human and devote
himself to the Way,
people will follow him without fail.
28.
If a DAN-SHU aware of delay in the management of TEN-DAN,
he has
to reform himself and study to cultivate a new
decision for DEN-DOU.
If he lived in distant place where few
TEN-DAN were found, he
should
do his best to increase the number of TEN-DAN
manager around
there with aids of central stuffs.
You
will need a lot of wisdom and labor in order to spread TEN-DOU
among new
territory. It goes without saying that the TEN-DAN has so
powerful right such as
guaranteed in Heaven that any kinds of evil
spirits hardly approach it.
However,
some DAN-SHU have erred from right way and forget the
center to be kept so that
go to his own way, who will soon be
occupied his mind with the sectarian thought
which out of divine
control. Because the legitimate Mission of Master exist
merely in
TEN-DOU SOU-TEN-DAN. Make it a principle to keep the rule
thoroughly
and take great care of committing no injustice to be
discovered by divine patrol
that are making periodical tour of
inspection around TEN-DAN. Therefore, DAN-SHU
ought to be pure
and clear in his mind and manage TEN-DAN accordance with divine
will.
Authorized
Gods shall decide the life span of DAN-SHU because he
has divine Mission to be
fulfilled. The fact that he has become a
DAN-SHU according to his accumulated
causalities in his former lives
may prove the greatness of his correspondent
virtues.
DAN-SHU
should express the decision to fasten partnership each
other in local area, so
that they make mutual relationship tighter. Also,
DAN-SHU had better to make
frequent communication with DOU-SHIN and
share their distresses so as to be
advanced the smoother activities of
TEN-DAN.
