The special salvation system for one’s parents (8)
The Special Salvation System
|
(Note)
This system has seldom been applied in the Way since 1986 when the
General Salvation for Select Souls
(cf. APPENDIX) was revealed in the world.
As
one of the ancient rule goes, “Whoever would have mastered the Way,
his seven
preceding successive ancestors as well as his nine following
successive
descendants should be saved from the fatal repetition of the
reincarnation.”
Such a special Salvation (CHOU-BATSU) should have
deserved an amnesty enables a
man to save his dead parents from any spirit
world on account of his filial deed
anybody hardly ever does who could have
achieved the sixty-four merits enough to
fulfil the necessary conditions.
Therefore, in compliance with numbers of the
gods’ entreaties to RAUM, the
rule was revised in 1924 as follows; the devoted
will to the Way has taken the
place of the amount of merits one might have
earned, so that anyone
whoever would be eager to devote himself to the Way
should be favoured
with the amnesty to save his parents. In addition, the
executor of this special
Salvation is favoured with the excellent opportunity to
hold the ‘KETSU-EN’
meeting with his dead parent(s) in order to prove the
fact that his/her (or
their)
souls had sure returned to RI-TEN, which would
have a good effect on
spreading of the Way.
These above mentioned
events must be the special privileges never
happened to appear in the world
since the heaven was opened, which are
epoch-making system developed first in
the third generation for the sake of
making souls return Home. These affairs of
the Way should have never been
realized by any other means than the great
mercies of RAUM. Nevertheless
both of them should have proved helpful to the
recent development of the
Way on account of their inexhaustible miracle power
since the debut of
TEN-DOU in Japan, it is really regrettable that the
superficial understanding of
them might have caused so many devilish miseries
everywhere among the
world.
I have the honour to inform
you that God RAUM ordered me with mercies to
enact newly both CHOU-BATSU and
KETSU-EN laws so as to make TEN-DOU
prosper in the future. Although so many
regulations as a whole had been
made out in some holy messages from gods since
years ago, which might be
available for those purposes, I think some supplements
shall be needed in
order to make them prevail in the world. Therefore, I am
going to provide the
revised and enlarged editions of both rules so that they
should be regulated
as the formal laws come into use for ten thousand and eight
hundred years.
Here are both CHOU-BATSU
and KETSU-EN laws promulgated as follows; you
shall accept and keep them from
now on.
FAF-FA
“CHOU-BATSU law”
1.
The meaning of CHOU-BATSU
and KETSU-EN is a practice for ‘Return’ in
order to study the truth using a
provisional form, that is, the ceremony in
order to realize the real
relationship between RAUM and His Children after the
model of that which is seen
between parents and their children.
Any soul might make nothing but atonement for his
sins and have seldom
chance to earn the merits while he is in the hell, so that
he could not avoid
waiting for the opportunity to be favoured with the above
mentioned amnesty
according as his descendant wishes. The fact is the best
filial deed and the
utmost significant object of this law that any soul could
never fail to hold an
important post so as to earn a lot of merits by oneself
after temporary
training as far as he might be saved through CHOU-BATSU
ceremony.
A man might just as well fulfil his filial duty for
RAUM through the good house
management provided by the law with one of the basic
condition of
CHOU-BATSU, which would enable both him and his parent(s) to
correct their
merits and demerits each other so as to obtain multiplied good
results
enough to bear the fruits of his family’s spiritual lights. Thus the
good house
management must be the most suitable means for training of the Way in
the
third generation, which will make finally such an ancient ideology in
practice
as “All’s well that ends well”.
2.
The applicant for
CHOU-BATSU and his family should take full responsibility
for all the sins of
the souls to be saved as long as they are remained at any
rate. For this
reason, there are so many corrupted men found in the world
who might have lost
his primary ambition so as to go astray together with the
souls yielded to a
great deal of pressure put by the negative world from the
first.
Any DOU-SHIN, not to speak of a newcomer, should be
so deliberate in
becoming an applicant for CHOU-BATSU as to set some
preliminaries for the
ceremony intentionally, without making haste according as
he might show
enthusiasm for it, nevertheless no regulation could restrain him
from his
deed. Anyone might just as well fulfil his filial wish taking the
opportunity after
he could have saved enough merits might be endowed with such
as
responsible posts he would take as KOU-DOU, DAN-SHU and TEN-DEN-SHI
successively. Anyone should never rush in where angels fear to tread but
bear in
mind to keep always the state enable him to spread the Way. If a man
would have
thoughtlessly dealt with CHOU-BATSU without any follow-up, he
might be returned
evil for good as a result.
3.
Anyone should restrain his
impulse to deal with anything thoughtlessly at his
own judgment so as to behave
oneself with a steady conviction and begin
with enlightening his family and
making agreement with them. Next, any
applicant ought to ask DAN-SHU and
TEN-DEN-SHI for some advice and then
apply SOU-TEN-DAN for the permission of
CHOU-BATSU and take some
information of it. You should make out the relationship
between your family
and souls to be saved so as to keep away from any cause of
disturbance
might happen to come out later.
4.
From now on as an
exception, female DOU-SHIN shall be allowed to apply for
CHOU-BATSU as long as
she has a lot of merits and is placed in powerful
position, nevertheless women
have been excluded from it as ever. But
female applicant shall be granted her
request as long as she has a male
partner (husband or son) with her at the
least, whom she might as well devote
herself to persuade into CHOU-BATSU. Any
married women should to go
shares of her merits with her both native and married
family equally as fate
would have it, that the reason why female must owe her
ancestors more
debts than that of male.
5.
However far a man might
have gone toward the Way, he could save no more
than a relative in the first
degree lineal ascendants (father and/or mother) as
a rule. If a man might have a
lot of merits, the Master should do mercies for
him before MAK-KYOU according as
he would have done for the Way. As far
as any applicant would devote oneself to
spread the Way getting the family
out of the mind, his/her lineal ascendants,
descendants and even those lineal
related by married might be favoured with
Heaven’s mercies.
6.
Any offering for the Way
shall be such a mental one that will do enough in
spite of the amount of money,
which a man could afford as much as he has
done his best. Any souls cannot help
relying upon the offering of their
descendants for save, because they have
neither means to earn any merits
nor to rise in the world. If a man would do
some offering in the name of his
parent (s), the merits should belong to the
designated soul(s) to be saved,
which would result in dissolution of the
fatality lain behind them.
7.
The nominee TEN-DEN-SHI
should provide for his role in CHOU-BATSU
ceremony solemnly and deliberately and
purify both body and mind
beforehand, so as to cause neither retardation nor
impediment by any
means. On the other hand, CHOU-BATSU IN-HO-SHI (client) should
make
much of purifying thoroughly in good faith, so that anyone throw himself on
God’s mercies in order to cover any default of his/her ancestors.
8.
If a man might recklessly
accept an application for CHOU-BATSU so as to
make a favour of it, force an
applicant to offer some amount of money in
order to fill his own pocket or make
a bad use of any business of the Way for
the sake of a commercial enterprise he
should have committed such a
serious crime as to break the Mission of Heaven and
make a fool of one’s
good faith.
Anyone could by no means apply for any CHOU-BATSU on
account of saving
such a historical person, a priest or any other religionists
that have nothing
to do with his/her blood. There is no sutra for the sake of
such souls found in
the authorized decorum of the Way, so that anybody has
neither mission nor
authority to do with such ceremony in the world.
9.
As far as the general
CHOU-BATSU and KETSU-EN for the sake of
KI-TEN-SHIN (*) is concerned, things
shall be left entirely to my original
discretion; now you shall be nothing but
expecting the time will be matured.
Any Special Salvation System in physical
world has never been revealed
since ancient and will hardly appear in future as
well. If there might happen to
be seen a confusion of any events held in both
TEN-DOU and other religions
so as to cause a state of chaos, it must be a
fabrication that has nothing to
do with above-mentioned affairs. Anyone shall
decide on the merits of a case
deliberately.
(* As for the general Special Salvation System you
can refer to the following supplement.)
10.
CHOU-BATSU is the incomparable appearance of God’s mercies and the
Master’s virtues to be prevalent in the White-generation, that is to say, the
privilege and the efficacy bestowed merely on the mission of the main current
of
the right Way, the 18th Master in TOU-DO YUMI-NAGA. Even if a man
might
dare execute CHOU-BATSU under the feigned name of the Master, any soul
could hardly be saved nevertheless, and the criminal should be punished
seriously forever.
11. The family as well as the relatives of the client should attend the
ceremony as
many as possible. Especially all the brothers and sisters of the
client ought to
be present together at the altar in order to welcome and bless
their parent’s
soul heartily at the dramatic ascension to Heaven so as to
fulfil their filial
duties to their parent(s).
12.
The three ranks, nine grade and many other posts given in TEN-BUTSU-IN
will
fluctuate according to the sum of the merits that both the newcomers’ and
their senior souls might earn. The same situation shall be applied for any
DOU-SHIN, unless they might train themselves throughout both former life
and
afterlife. Any souls of virtue would be able to help the Way at any time as
soon
as they return to Heaven; they might be promoted to upper rank owing
to their
past meritorious deed and enjoy higher status in Heaven. They shall
advance step
by step so as to build up a treasure tower of souls to be looked
up to.
Notwithstanding they shall make it a principle to train themselves
disinterestedly, free from avarice without thought of either getting merits or
winning fame.
“KETSU-EN law”
1.
In the early years since TEN-DOU was handed down in Japan, people used
to
make use of KETSU-EN system as an enlightening means by some souls
ascended
to heaven for the sake of their bereaved family that would
emphasize the
importance of virtues such as comparably easy to train as
so-called
house-managing and filial deed, so as to fix a deep faith and its
motivation in
their minds. As time went on, DOU-SHIN came to make
themselves familiar with the
dogma of the Way nowadays in accordance with
the advancement of its development;
therefore people should be careful not
to thoughtlessly compel a man to do with
KETSU-EN, who might happen to go
astray as a result, so as to go against
Heaven’s will. From now on, if there
might happen to be a man found whose
application for a KETSU-EN
ceremony could be admitted, people should hold it
with the utmost care in
repeated consideration of his circumstances.
2.
It must be a serious fact
that so many DOU-SHIN have gone astray from the
Way after they made use of KETSU-EN
system, notwithstanding it could
create a sensation among the public to be of
benefit to the Way, while the
applicant must have been favoured with a privilege
in vain. KETSU-EN must
never be an amusement something like either possession or
oracle by some
ghost, but a serious reminiscence given by an initiated soul
under the guard
of gods in Heaven.
Any applicants should give their thanks to RAUM for
the great mercy enable
them to meet their dead parent(s) intimately, and enter
into the feelings of
their
parent (s) so that they might as well give the
Salvation in return. I hope
they would practice it under the self-imposed
control.
3.
Anyone should never easily
take it for granted that he could substitute
KETSU-EN for a means of the
enlightenment on account of the applicant.
When a man would exhort a DOU-SHIN to
KETSU-EN, he should have to
inspect first if the applicant might have steady
faith in the Way as well as
enough knowledge of it. If a man after the
inspection might fear the applicant
would have thought of suspicion, distrust or
nothing but an amusement so
as to raise a scandal, the application shall be
rejected. The former should do
his best to render the latter good services in
order to persuade him if
necessary.
4.
If people used to ask
Heaven for KETSU-EN recklessly, so many gods,
Buddha and any other souls would
be very much annoyed. It goes without
saying that any souls humble in standing
and inexperienced in studying
would be extremely embarrassed when it comes to
make a show of their past
scandals, if any. Anybody should sympathize that it
could cause a lot of
burden and distress to the gods troubled for the ceremony
who would be
pressed by business all the time.
Anybody should never forget that there is no real KETSU-EN
like the holy
words for the sake of the communication means between Heaven and
human
beings, which would never fail to give a good lesson to any receiver. Put
it to
practical use in all directions!
5.
As a man could be told
through KETSU-EN message that how high the post
his ancestors’ souls would get
now and its rise and fall might suggest the
amount of merits he has earned, so
that not a few people used to be too
nervous about their achievement to restrain
their desire for it. Therefore, I am
so much afraid that they would be carried
away by some devouring
competition rather than by some merciful behaviour such
as spreading of the
Way.
The both ranks of souls who were initiated into the
Way before death and
saved after death through CHOU-BATSU should be
provisionally graded by
the authorized (three) gods SAN-KAN TAI-TEI each time
they want in
consideration of the total amount of the achievements that the
souls
concerned and their successive ancestors would have accomplished which
might rise and fall according to the quantity of their temporary contributions
to the Way. So that any sols shall have the sense of their neither superiority
nor inferiority complex for their status at any time. They shall keep away from
anything that would incite them to struggle for power so as to stir up any
animosity against another.
6.
I’ll tell you (the souls) what who are going to send their messages
through
SA-BAN. You shall devote yourselves neither to talk too much about any
amusements in the worldly affairs nor to the personal letters or opinions so
that you might implant any false views on TEN-DOU in your descendants. You
shall
emphasize such as the original objects of TEN-DOU as proofs of the
Way,
propagation of the Mission of Heaven, the real state of the spirit world,
the
right perception to the significance of the Salvation, reminder of the
training
practice and the circumstances after their ascension. Anybody who
has ever been
initiated into TEN-DOU from a sense of duty, his temporary
fever would be easily
going to fade away; he could never keep his faith
constantly, unless he would be
persuaded into believing in the immovable
reason.
7.
Anyone should regard the
holy word given to some other family as that of his
own, without making light of
any because of other people’s affaires, so that
he might as well repent of his
sins and make a new resolve. Any souls would
never return to Home finally
without being filled with such deep emotions
equally as repentance and
expectation, the amount of their achievement
might differ from the others more
or less notwithstanding.
8.
Although holy words used to
be given to the public for their enlightenment
sake at any time and place
transcending time and space, but any KETSU-EN
words would be sometimes regarded
as the holy word on account of a local
area or a family so that they might as
well fade away. Therefore, a people
should make it a rule to arrange the holding
date and place of some
KETSU-EN
ceremonies so as to be a large event held in a place at the same
time without
some special exceptions. The united KETSU-EN ceremonies
shall be held at the SOU-TEN-DAN
as a rule, which should be open to any
DOU-SHIN on the designated time and
place. And people should take
measures suited to the occasion however closely
the local events might be
scheduled.
9.
If any epigone, follower or
any other bad seconds would never obey under
the control of our Teacher’s
Mission so as to justify something like KETSU-EN
in order to make sure of their
authority, they should have to cause some
disturbance in the Way. They should
never go thus astray but submit to the
authorized Mission of Heaven.
10. The designated KI-SHU (operator of SHA-BAN) should be strictly limited
to a
person who has been endowed with an authorized license by Heaven. For,
being different from a god with the purest soul, anybody used to be
influenced
by some ancient negative spirit so that he would be too fatigued
both mentally
and physically to work well as he likes. A man could perform his
duty first when
he has well trained his both mind and physical body.
11.
It would be criminal that a man might dare keep away from the holy word
so
as to make hardly use of it after he was given. A man should never make
little
of the holy words because of their importance to his family, but he might
as
well publish a book of it so as to make use of it for the spreading of the
Way.
That’s all.
You
shall appreciate the letter from me and keep it in your mind, so that you
shall
behave well in accordance with the filial deed based on the rule, believe
in the
holy words and do your best to develop the general Salvation.
By the way, there are countless causalities between a
man and the other
public contracted since sixty thousand years without fail. If
a man might want
to earn a merit or ask for a favour based on nothing but the
relationship of
this life, he might just as well regard a well as an ocean or
guess a tail as a
big elephant.
The
virtues your ancestors might have left are prevailing among their living
descendants and having something to do with all the SAN-KAI as well. In fact,
virtues of
the public would favour your spreading of the Way and your
training of the soul
in these days. That is, the significance of CHOU-BATSU
and KETSU-EN would figure
as both saving and spreading activities in a
friendly cooperation with the
public. The very activities could make the
affection between parents and their
children deepen extremely so that you
might get the reason of Heaven.
TEN-DOU used to make
parents bear such a good fruit as spreading the Way
for the sake of RAUM through
KETSU-EN, so that their children could make
good use of this opportunity to
spread the Way on account of the public. Any
way, after a soul would return to
Heaven, he could not afford the time for the
pleasure of a happy home, but he
should sit in a happy circle with the public;
where no more acquired
discrimination but the innate virtue should be
available in any case.
Essentially, CHOU-BATSU as
well as KETSU-EN must be nothing but an
expedient used by RAUM for the sake of
lead and enlightenment both the
departed souls and their children making use of
their relationship. Therefore,
anyone should keep away from the narrow-minded
thought of filial duties
between ancestors and antecedent so as to know and
practice thoroughly
the great dogma that all the souls must be no less than RAUM,
so that one
might see through pith and morrow of the Salvation completely and
the
subject of this regulation could be said almost all told.
I wish, you should measure
up Heaven’s expectation as soon as possible.
such a honourable opportunity to
enact a new rule on account of the stability
of the Way.
That’s all.
{The first part}
(Released in Jan. 25, 1986 by
NAN-KYOKU SEN-OU, an authorized God to rule KI-TEN)
1. The mission to save select souls
Essentially has TEN-DOU the
great Mission to make all the souls in SAN-KAI return
Home … eternal Kingdom
of Heaven (RI-TEN). That is, it has the Mission to save the
souls live in both
the upper and the lower spirit worlds… from Divinities (KI-TEN
SHIN) in
so-called Paradise (KI-TEN) to Ghosts in Hell. No matter how peaceful life
might
souls enjoy in KI-TEN, they could hardly make out the way to return Home,
nevertheless they would be endowed with the provisional post of Divinity owing
to
their virtues in former lives. To say nothing of a low-spirited ghost of any
kind, even a
high-spirited soul in KI-TEN were destined to fall again into the
shackles of
reincarnation.
As the souls in SAN-KAI
have been trembling with fear to feel the emergency
atmosphere of coming
selection, so merciful TEN-DOU is going to enlarge the gate to
escape from it
much wider.
2. The mission of KI-TEN SHIN
The souls of such as men
and women full of virtue could be held an office of
KI-TEN-SHIN in accordance
with a Heaven regulation, which would oblige them to
continue their essential
training. Any KI-TEN-SHIN should have the mission to protect
the people and
favour them merits so as to influence the human world to behave
well. If any KI-TEN-SHIN
might cause one’s corruption as a result of his favouring
deed, he should make
responsible for it.
Almost of all KI-TEN-SHIN
have been engaging in their work for the sake of enlarging
their own lifetime,
so that there are no reliable relationship with RI-TEN found in
KI-TEN any more.
Therefore, a man should become aware that he might find favour
with KI-TEN-SHIN
at the sacrifice of his virtue.
3. The organization of KI-TEN
KI-TEN world is governed
under the control of the president GYOK-KOU TAI-TEI.
And any souls came from
SHOU-TEN to KI-TEN shall be decided the length of their
lifetime, post and the
virtues in their next lifetime according to the judgement given
by NAN-KYOKU
SEN-OU. In addition, a lot of RI-TEN-SHIN (Gods in RI-TEN) shall be
enshrined in
abbeys of any KI-TEN circles in order to guide KI-TEN-SHIN and manage
their
posts.
The souls are lodging in
stars, mountains, rivers and any other nature. Any souls will
assume their
office, share in their shrines and get their divine names at the same
time. But
these names should be unmovable and unchangeable, notwithstanding the
nominated
KI-TEN-SHIN would succeed to their predecessors. It’s quite possible that
the
mission of a post might be changed in accordance with the characteristics of
their chief (RI-TEN-SHIN). For example, some KI-TEN-SHIN belongs to upper class
would engage in affairs something to do with RI-TEN, while someone belongs to
lower class might be changed into a natural spirit, a A-SHU-RA-SHIN and so
forth.
The nomination would be
performed under the leadership of the chief RI-TEN-SHIN
and the permission of
GYOK-KOU TAI-TEI, which the top lawyer (RI-TEN-SHIN) would
be posted and the
management should be made according to a law in Heaven.
As NAN-KYOKU SEN-OU I am
sending the papers pertaining to KI-TEN SHIN CHOU-DO
to SAN-KAN TAI-TEI in
Heaven so as to make them examine the histories of the
candidates.
Thus, there is a close
relation between RI-TEN and KI-TEN, so that the latter is in
control of the
former, just like the Hell is thoroughly ruled by JUU-DAI EN-KUN (RI-TEN
SHIN).
As mentioned above, there
is a close relation between RI-TEN and KI-TEN, so KI-TEN
SHIN might as well
visit TEN-DAN in the Way according to the time and
circumstances. But any
visitor should be available with the permissions both of
NAN-KYOKU SEN-OU and
GYOK-KOU TAI-TEI, for any TEN-DAN is guarded strictly by
HACHI-DAI KON-GOU, NI-JUU-HAS-SHUKU
and a lot of other RI-TEN SHIN all the time.
And, as long as a KI-TEN
SHIN would make use of his spiritual power to make
TEN-DOU develop, he could
sure earn a lot of merits. Once upon a time when ON-SHI
was living in the world,
GO-ZEN SHI-KEI and KYOU-KA BO-SATSU both RI-TEN SHIN
were OROCHI belong to KI-TEN
SHIN. But they could have won the great honour not
only enable them to return
Home but also to get the important post, because they had
devoted themselves to
support ON-SHI using their powers.
Anyone who would make good
use of his spiritual power for the sake of TEN-DOU, he
might be endowed with the
post of SHIN-KUN or Buddha.
{The latter part}
IN-HO
SHI of any KI-TEN SHIN could be favoured with a lot of merits caused by his job
to work hard for the Way with full of his spiritual power. As gods can penetrate
into
one’s heart, so anyone should play a roll of IN-HO SHI deliberately.
6. The reason why gods put spiritualist to use
Nobody could be allowed to
operate a writing pen using SHA-BAN except RI-TEN
SHIN as I mentioned before, so
that a spiritualist should have to play a roll of
spokesman until the inspection
shall be held. I shall compel strictly any IN-HO SHI to
behave selflessly and
act above ego.
That’s all. Any person in
charge should observe the rules to the letter written in this
document so as to
manage things without mistake. Anybody could hardly cheat an
authorized god, so
that a man should be fear of Heaven.
