I believe that church leaders have to be realistic. Our teachings are not spreading to the world. I hear lectures about sacrifices of suffering that we have to go through before God’s blessings are given to us. People do not want to suffer, even though they are promised blessings in the future. We are told that we have to worship God, and Oyasama. We are also told to donate to our churches, and offer food and drinks to God. We are also told to perform a dance ritual with perfection in front of God, to receive God’s blessings. Do you understand why our religion is not growing!
In the Ofudesaki, God tells us we do not have to suffer to spread God’s teachings. God does not want us to worship God, and offer food and donations. This is not in the Ofudesaki! God does not want us to perform a dance Service, summarizing the Ofudesaki. This dance was composed by Oyasama to help the early followers understand God’s teachings. It was not meant to be performed in front of God to worship. So what does God want us to do? The instructions are all in the Ofudesaki.
Summary of the Ofudesaki:
- Understand your own soul to purify your own mind. When the mind is pure, only health and happiness will apperar from your own soul.
- Spread the teachings of the soul to other people, and tell them that God may place guidance on them to convince them of the soul.
- Perform the Youki-tsutome asking God to help convince the people you have spread the teaching of the soul.
- Upon receiving God’s guidance, some of these people you have spread the truth may understand God’s guidance and may come to your places of worship to be healed.
- You perform the Osazuke upon them to heal their illness, and continue to teach them of the soul.
- These people will then be able to purify their minds by understanding their own souls.
- This is how we save the world. When everyone in the world, understand their own soul, there will be peace and prosperity .
