The pure mind is what God wants us to attain. The following is from the Ofudesaki:
shinjitsu no kokoro shidai no kono tasuke
Yamazu shinazu ni yowari naki you. 3-99
Of the pure mind, the mind is dependent on. This salvation,
to not fall ill, to not die, and not weaken are the benefits. 3-99
kono tasuke hyaku juu go sai joumyou to
sadame tsuketai Kami no ichijou. 3-100
This salvation, 115 years old, predestined length of life,
To settle and want to fix, God’s desire. 3-100
So my question is, why do many Tenrikyo people depend on medicine and Physicians to cure their illness? I do not believe that God tells us to use doctors and medicine in the Ofudesaki. God tells us we just need to purify our minds.
そこで質問ですが、なぜ多くの天理教人は病気を治すために薬や医者に頼るのでしょうか。おふでさきの中で、神様は私たちに医者や薬を使えと言っているのではないと思います。おふでさきの中で、神様は私たちに心を清めなさいと言っているのです。
