Function
and Divine favour of TEN-DAN |
HOME(2)
In
TEN-DOU there is great number of TEN-DAN settled all over the world
in order to
save the souls in SAN-KAI (not only human but also spirit
world), which are
founded according to the Command of God not
artificially. As if it were Noah’s
Ark, TEN-DAN is working for the Salvation
of 9.6 billion souls in SAN-KAI
through the Initiation ceremony done in
front of TEN-DAN under the TEN-MEI
(Mission come from God) to spread
TEN-DOU among the world. That is, where there
is TEN-MEI there is
TEN-DAN founded to bring people fortune. Let us say this
world is ‘the
sea of distress’, a TEN-DAN must be a ship of Salvation to
make people
release from disaster and worldly passions and take them to
brilliant
world (RI-TEN).
From
the viewpoint of human history, almost all the people have been
lived without
either doing something useful for the world or any other
good behaviors. As a
result, immortal souls are locked in shackles of
reincarnation between SHI-SHOU
ROKU-DOU (*1) and so that they bore
many kinds of causalities. According to the
causalities they have been
tossed about by the waves of the sea of distress, and
no idea of
transcending these situation.
Now we are luckily living where TEN-DOU is released
in general public,
so that people easily get the SAN-POU and the Way to Heaven
The most
precious treasures in TEN-DOU are SAN-POU which have been
succeeded
among the ancient Saints one after another. TEN-DAN is the
holy place where
these Initiation ceremony can be held.
Although
one could explain the exquisite theory of TEN-DOU well, he will
never be able to
give people the pith and morrow of TEN-DOU (SAN-POU)
easily. The Right Low (SAN-POU)
shall be given from the authorized God
… ON-SHI (Our Teacher; 18th
Master of the Way) to a person who will ask
for the Way sincerely and prostrate
himself before TEN-DAN.
You
will find TEN-DAN everywhere even in common houses besides
SOU-TEN-DAN. Any
DOU-SHIN expect to keep TEN-DAN in his house or
elsewhere he likes, which shall
be allowed by God for the sake of
convenience of the GU-DOU SHA. Around TEN-DAN
a plenty of Gods in
Heaven are always coming down to guard them.
DAN-SHU
can get two big divine favors. One is that it will be able to work
as a saving
ship to give anybody who faithfully asks for the Way equally
the
opportunity to get SAN-POU and make him free from the perpetual
shackles of reincarnation. Another is that number
of Gods will protect
directly not only the family of DAN-SH but also neighbors
to be peace
and quiet all the time. If some unlucky accidents may happen upon
them,
which shall be removed beforehand.
TEN-DOU
adopts simple form of alter as a TEN-DAN which shall be
installed designated
eight goods (HAK-KE; cf. figure shown later), and no
more equipment shall be
needed. Notwithstanding simple appearances,
the main God we are worshiping is
the utmost highest God RAUM,
Creator of whole souls and beings. Other Gods come
from Heaven are
Buddha and Saints Initiated in ancient age. General spirits and
souls not
yet be initiated are never come near around TEN-DAN. We must be owing
the time to be matured that we could keep such an excellent TEN-DAN as
to
worship the highest Gods in our poor residence. The reason why
number of TEN-DAN
became to be permitted to prevail in public is that
Heaven had regulated the
SAN-POU to release merely in front of
TEN-DAN.
The
most important goods in HAK-KE are the Lamp (TSUU-TEN-TOU) set
in the middle of
TEN-DAN. This Lamp is a symbol of RAUM, which shall
never be lit except the time
while anniversary festivals, Initiation and
Incense presentation both ceremonies
will be held. If it were lit once, it
would become the Lamp connected with
RAUM.
While
all the three lamps are lighting, a great number of Gods form a
circle with the
radius of hundred steps around TEN-DAN in order to
guard it… for example, MI-ROKU,
SHA-KYA, Confucius, RAO-TZE, Christ,
Mohammed, KAN-NON, DAHRMA and other
exquisite Gods and Saints.
You might as well understand that how much
significance and
magnificence TEN-DAN should have, just knew this fact. We are
getting
along well and living day by day by day by day by day by day by day by
day with neither cares nor worries under such a kind guard of Gods.
TEN-DAN
will reveal its effect and miraculous efficacy when HAK-KE shall
be correctly
arranged in accordance with the Command of RAUM and p
ermitted their settlement
by ON-SHI YUMI-NAGA. The lucky DOU-SHIN
who has been permitted to settle a
TEN-DAN will become a DAN-SHU
naturally and thereafter anybody can receive the
benefit of Initiation from
this TEN-DAN.
DAN-SHU
should make best effort to manage the TEN-DAN such as
worshipping, arrangement,
holding several ceremonies, enlightening
and any other meeting besides taking
care of DOU-SHIN. As the return of
the efforts, DAN-SHU will receive the amount
of merits from DOU-SHIN
who had favored his Initiation in the TEN-DAN when they
will grow up to
make something of themselves in TEN-DOU in future. Those DAN-SHU
who can do with SAN-SE (*1) shall be surely trustful of Gods and
extremely
blessed by God.
The
moment a man opens a TEN-DAN in this world, he never fail to have
built a huge
palace naturally in RI-TEN, and both his name and the name
of his TEN-DAN shall
be remained in history of the White-generation for
10,800 years where MI-ROKU
Buddha will govern. So, the DAN-SHU who
would be able to keep TEN-DAN never
frustrated halfway, should
certainly get the infinite divine merits to become a
man of brilliant future.
The
decorum of TEN-DAN shall be held with the utmost solemnity,
keeping silence and
clean. There are three times suitable hours for daily
incense offering ceremony
shall be held at TEN-DAN … they are 5~7,
11~13 and 17~19. You should hold at
least once in a day ( as for details,
please compare another specified
guide-book ). Usually, you had better
present fruits, confectioneries and
flowers as much as you possible in
order to show Gods your faithfulness. The
votive offerings (teas, fruits
and confectioneries) after presented at TEN-DAN
are used to taste of
excellent sweet and exquisite fragrant, which must be
benefited by RAUM
and other Gods in Heaven and additional favor of worshippers.
Whenever
you feel melancholy, displeasure or disappear you had better
enter the TEN-DAN
room, then you will feel refreshed filled with
enormous pleasure and hope
without fail. And whenever you are feeling
unrest or seized with fear you will
soon regain your presence of mind
and take courage, if only you watch the lamp
in TEN-DAN or ON-SHI or
SO-SHI in statue or photo. If only you were sitting in
front of TEN-DAN
when you happened to be tortured with worldly either thoughts
or
passions, you could make your mind soon be peaceful and released
from the
problems by help of divine wisdom.
TEN-DAN
has such a wonderful power come from RAUM through the
Lamp that makes one’s
cold mind warm up, suspicious mind change into
pious one and heartless cruel
people into merciful men at once. That is
to say, it will blow devils and evil
spirits off and disperse them away
like
a mist.
Whoever
expects to open his TEN-DAN should apply for it to
SOU-TEN-DAN through the hand
of DAN-SHU and TEN-DEN SHI who are
living near his residence. If only RYOU-DOU
RIJI-KAI granted the
application, the applicant could settle his TEN-DAN as he
likes.
Finally
here we show you a figure of a sample TEN-DAN. The goods
shown in the figure
with Arabic numerals 1 ~ 8 are HAK-KE which
are
inevitable for TEN-DAN, while others (a ~ g) are not necessary as
usual (h
and g are needed in official ceremony such as Initiation).
(*1) SHI-SHOU ROKU-DOU; The meanings word for word of this words
are four (categories) beings and six ways (of soul’s training). Let’s
suppose SHI-SHOU is horizontal thread, ROKU-DOU is vertical one,
both together can weave cloths.
There are two ways out of ROKU-DOU contained in each three worl
(SAN-KAI), that is, KI-TEN DOU and A-SHU-RA DOU in KI-TEN
(so-called paradise), NIN-GEN DOU (human) and CHIKU-SHOU
DOU (other beings) in SHOU-TEN (this world) and GA-KI DOU and
JI-GOKU DOU in JI-GOKU (Hell … lower KI-TEN). SHI-SHOU is
involved in every kinds of ROKU-DOU.
