"You have done a good job", when I shall return to Heaven. 

           I will do my best to keep and obey your words. 

           You shall scold me for my bad behaviors if any, I will improve them.

           You may keep silence as for the good one; I will never cease it.

           That will do.

           I shall be satisfied with it and sufficient for it, if only I could see a smile of RAUM, even 
           if I shall not be admired from others.

           Please, lead me, a poor infant. 


G. Ancestor

           I am afraid; if you know how many ancestors did it need to send you in the world.

           Begin with your parents, next the parents of them ... the number of ancestors will soon 
           be transcendent the population of not a country but the world, and amount to the total 
           number of whole stars contained in the endless macrocosm. 

           How much you have deepened your blood relation with your ancestors every time you 
           were reborn, and how much you have strengthened the connection with your relatives 
           every time you died in former lives ... might be countless.

           Therefore, it is not too much to say that all humankind is your ancestor. 

           From now, you had better not to regard others as others.

           Call them " father, mother " in your mind or you may whisper " brother, sister ".

           If you will ask someone for the Initiation with such mind, he must feel a yearning for 
           you and come along with you willingly.


H. Life

           However small worms they might be, they must have their father and mother.

           If both their father and mother were dead, how sorrow shall I be.

           If I shall be out of my parents' sight, how far my father and mother will look for me.

           Everybody, every being must carry precious and valuable lives.

           They should never neglect their lives.

           You should feel sorry for killing any living creatures.

           Therefore you could never think of eating them ... could you?

           Because their fathers may become sad ... may not they?

           And their mothers may burst into tears ... may not they?

           If we met the scene, both you and I must feel sad, sad, sad, sad, sad .........


I. Study

           I wish you were a child with a tender mind, even if you were not good at study ...

           I wish you would grow up an honest and healthy child ...will be such a thoughtful person 
           as to sympathize with miserable people in tears, or support poor people, however he 
           would be in distress or ridiculed from the others.

           And I wish you would grow up such a man of mercy that will feel both sorrow and 
           pleasure of others for his own. 

           I wish you would study so hard for the sake of neither yourself nor your parents that 
           people could be happy and the world would be filled with more bright light however a few 
           they might be.

           I wish you would do your best to tackle with the Truth of RAUM in order to give up the 
           know-how of either war nor conflict and cultivate the wisdom of both peace and 
           freedom.


J. Appeal

           We wish you could protect us.

           Children are ignorant and weak. They could be trained to behave, and would take 
           anything given from others without doubt.

           Please do not let us eat any flesh of our friends.

           We can neither buy eatables nor cook any eats by ourselves.

           We dare want to make neither our body be dirty nor our mind be filthy, so that you shall 
           take care not to let us eat unfavorable meal.
 
           We shall be able to be getting on quite well with pure vegetables.

           Please, do not leave us alone under unfavorable circumstances.

           Our minds are easily stained like white paper, and bodies move just like their images do 
           in mirror. 

           We wish you made us see no sinful behavior and hear no curse, but freely play in the 
           nature and learn about God.

           Forgive us to get the Law.

           Everyone has original relationship with others even if they were parents and their 
           children. Any brothers has virtues different from other's.

           Our souls are eager to get the Law. Allow us visit any TEN-DAN.

           Our Missions make us urge on it. Allow us get SAN-POU. 

           Please, agree to our appeals to spread the Way among people. 

           We have come down from Heaven in accordance with the Command of RAUM.

           We have selected the house and parents to come down in order to fulfill the duty of 
           TEN-DOU.

           God blesses our parents, both father and mother. 

           We owe the future of the Way.

           We have gotten the highest education.

           We have been dutiful to our parents.

           Please, congratulate the progresses of our invisible souls, and be proud of them. 

           Wherever we shall be, we shall always think of you and never forget about you.

           Therefore, allow us go into TEN-DOU, please. 


K. Sorrow

           "Oh RAUM, do not cry any more!".

           I will neither get into mischief nor play a trick any more.

           I will obey you and never trouble you.

           I will be a good boy without fail.

           It is the most heart-breaking thing for me to see tears of RAUM.

           It makes me shrink with sorrow, my heart broken and will tear at my breast.

           It makes my mind confused, and I cannot avoid breaking into tears.

           I shall easily lose myself in thinking what should I do.

           I would rather have me beaten by RAUM with anger ...

           I wonder that I shall behave myself whenever I saw RAUM look sorrow.
 
           I will fill me with sorrow, so that people will be tender.


L. Voice

           I hear someone is whispering about something.

           Someone is crying desperately, appealing something without pause.

           I hear certainly inner voice, soundless voice.

           I can see a figure on the outside of statue, figure without shape.

           I listen to solemn, pretty and gentle voice.

           It would never cease, as if it were asking a favor of me.

           I feel something; I have to do something.

           I cannot do anything at all. I cannot leave anything as it is. 

           I wonder if I were either doubt or neglect something.

           Let us believe, believe stronger!

           Do something; make haste to do!

           Whom? Of course RAUM.

           What? It must be the Way.

           Because we have never heard such a warm voice.

           Because we have never had such a time to make our mind noble.


M. Wonder

           It must be wonder that we can move our bodies as we like, the nature is carrying on 
           pretty well and people have tacit understanding each other. 

           Among all wonders, it must be the most wonderful thing to think of RAUM.

           How much shall we be attached to RAUM!

           I wonder why shall we so much long for RAUM.

           I wonder from where this distressing sympathy comes.

           I wish I could have honor to meet RAUM as sooner as possible, although we have ever 
           had no chance to see or to hear of RAUM.

           Give me a chance to see RAUM, let me meet RAUM soon now.

           Everyone must have been born and will die, without having granted the same wishes as 
           me which might be behind our mind. 

           The other world on the behind of mind must be combined with the eternal macrocosm.


N. Memories

           Anybody believes that when he was a baby he had been taken in the breast of his 
           mother, nevertheless that is not within our memory.

           Anybody could never doubt that he had been living once an infant age. 

           If so, you can never doubt that you are a baby of soul in itself.

           So that you have to believe that you have a Mother of your soul.

           Anybody can prove it is a false? Nobody can.

           The soul came down from Heaven; just like that your body came out of your mother's 
           body.

           Now you have been grown up taken in arms of RAUM, just like that you had been grown 
           up with your mother's milk. 

           You cannot understand it, because you are sleeping and dreaming now.

           Have someone make the eyelids of your mind opened, and wake up. Look! RAUM is 
           laughing as you see, is not it?


O. Change

           Everything has gone away and will disappear just like that the rivers flow away and 
           clouds pass through.

           Where, and where ever?

           A peaceful spring days will change to lonely days of autumn.

           Young color will change to old fade.

           I wonder why will the minds of human change the load from pleasant one to painful one.

           Why is that the world of human would prefer dark shadow to bright shine.

           Therefore there is neither pleasure nor distress in the world.

           Let us look at the stage of human life from outside!

           There is the sea of RAUM without flows.

           That is the quiet and mild Heaven of RAUM.


P. Prayer

           I pray to RAUM. Listen to me! RAUM. 

           I am very sorry.

           The mind of human is growing rougher. The world is becoming filthier.

           What should I do? I wish I could be of some use.

           I wonder if I could be with such a small body, and should my prayer be granted 
           nevertheless my mind might be poor. 

           Although, if it were Command of RAUM, I will do my best...

           However it might be painful, I will never complain about.

           Please, accept my proposal; take me in your arms!

           I shall be glad to devote myself to spread the Way.

           If only the name of RAUM will be spread among the world,

           I do not care whether my life shall be shortened.

           Please, make use of me! 

           I pray to RAUM for coming into my mind, making my body move.


Q. Fellow

           On the earth, there are so many children, who are crying in hunger, trembling with cold, 
           wanting for love, escaping from war and not yet permitted to be born.

           And I wonder if you know that there are great number of children who know little of 
           RAUM.

           There might be a few happy people, notwithstanding there are so many unhappy people 
           in the world.

           I am sure in favor with God, certainly guarded and... loved.

           I wonder if I could be content with my lot as it is.

           Even if I can not afford to give something,

           I can tell something about the Way.

           Let us share with provisions of soul!

           Let us inform the favor of God each other!

           Whoever children of RAUM, equallyhave the right to enjoy divine favor of the Salvation, 
           and owe the duty to spread it.


R. Father and mother

           My father won't get Initiation of SAN-POU.

           My mother won't listen to me at all.

           I shall feel lonely if I might alone return to Heaven.

           I shall have a hard time when I might alone be saved from the Catastrophe.

           I wish you could move into Heaven with me.

           Let us all together live in the Paradise on land.

           Father and mother, I pray you sincerely for listening to me...

           It must be the last prayer to you in my lifetime, I swear by God.

           But I believe that you certainly know what I am going to say.

           I will never give up, until all my family will lend hands to TEN-DOU some day.

           I will do my best.


S. Background

           RAUM creates every thing and every being without revealing the Figure.

           Therefore, I am going to support the Way always remain in the background not to be 
           outstanding.

           RAUM manages and controls everything without showing any power.

           Therefore, I will do my best to work for the sake of world and people without being 
           proud of ability.

           RAUM yields new lives one by one without persisting the achievements.

           Therefore, I shall have the honor to help the work of Heaven, with steady steps not 
           looking behind but forward all the time.

           I wish I could have me done with the work, which is left unknown among the public and 
           the most people will be pleased.

           I pray to RAUM for ordering me a job, which will be known quite well and expected by 
           Heaven most of all.


T. Letter

           Let us compose letters of mind...

           We will send them to RAUM every day.

           The message read this morning brought tears to my eyes.

           I invited a friend of mine to TEN-DAN this afternoon.

           I did my best to exercise in SHU-GEN (Meditation) in the evening, as a result I could 
           see bright shining.
    
           I am very much obliged to RAUM for giving us such pleasant and happy days. I cannot 
           thank You enough for all Your Mercies.

           I have more favor to ask you that everybody could enjoy a day in Heaven ... and

           I pray that I shall be getting along day by day without repentance and having refreshing 
           nights to be proud.

           I shall be sleeping in the chest of RAUM. Good night!


U. Dream

           I have a big dream, although it might be poor.

           It is the dream to have the same dream as you do.

           It is the dream to realize the dream you will have.

           I wish we could play together happily at RAUM.

           I wish I had my dream been fulfilled that the earth shall be filled with the bright of 
           Paradise.

           I shall be seeing the same dream day and night.

           I will be going on seeking for such dreams that will never end in dreams whether I shall 
           be still alive.


V. Saints

           I wish I could achieve such a deep realization as the Buddha did.

           I wish I would become such a clean figure as Christ was.

           I wish I could tell like Lao-tse.

           I wish I would behave like Mohammed.

           I wish I could induce people like Confucius led.

           I pray to God for letting the virtues of Saints concentrate on me and become proofs of ... 
           the light of the world ... the Way. 

           I pray to YUMI-NAGA for making me man of patient.

           I pray to KAN-NON for making me man of mercy.

           I pray to MI-ROKU for making me man of generous.

           I pray to RAUM for making me becoming a pupil of SAN-BUTSU. 

           I pray to RAUM for making me becoming a son of RAUM.
