True Justice and Compassion According to the Ofudesaki

Some people are feeling disappointed or even outraged by recent findings in a case involving high-level government corruption and allegations of child sexual abuse. Many wonder if justice will ever be served.

But in the Ofudesaki, God clearly tells us:

Justice always comes.
Even if people seem to get away with malicious acts for a time, it is our own soul that keeps track of all our actions. Eventually, we all reap what we have sown.

In fact, the Ofudesaki goes so far as to say that if the debts of our negative actions accumulate too much, we may even return in our next life as animals—such as cows or horses—as a form of karmic return.

But Do We Want These People to Suffer?

Absolutely not.

God tells us in the Ofudesaki that no one is inherently evil.
Rather, evil thoughts have become attached to people through the dust of the mind. These people are not our enemies. They are, like all of us, God’s beloved children.

And it is exactly for these people that the teachings of the Ofudesaki exist.

God wants to save them, just as God wants to save all of us.

When their minds become pure, they too can be saved.
This is the heart of Tenrikyo’s message: universal salvation through the purification of the mind and the understanding of the soul.
