PRAYER

Want to Spread God’s teachings to save others.

God has given us a special prayer to do this. This Service is called the Youki-tsutome. But before we can perform this prayer we must:

1. purify our minds by understanding the soul.

2. spread the teachings of the soul, pure mind, and God’s guidance that may appear to others.

What the Youki-tsutome does:

When God accepts our prayer, God will place illness as guidance to the people that we have spread the teachings. Some will understand the guidance given, and come to our places to be healed and given more information to purify their own minds, and souls. This is how God’s teachings are spread to the world.

 

                   Youki-tsutome

Evil thoughts  sweeping, save them please,

Heaven’s truths, Saving God.

(Repeat 21 times)

  • evil  thoughts refers to the dust of regret, covetousness, self-love, greed, and arrogance.

Just a word to you, what God is saying, listen please.

False things, spoken not.

These workings of  earth and heaven representing,

wife/husband created and brought forth.

This is, this world’s beginning.

You are Heaven’s truths saving God.

  • earth is represented by the sea creatures in the early muddy oceans.
  • heaven is represented by the mind of God

Evil thoughts  sweeping, save them quickly. 

Everyone purified, Kanroudai.
