CHAPTER 11
OFUDESAKI/CHAPTER 11/1875 Kokan passes away TENRIKYO Mune saki e kibishiku tsukae kitaru nara Tsukihi no kokoro sekikomi de aru 11-1If a severe pressure of the chest comes upon you (weeding /God’ guidance), it is the hastening of the mind of God. (hastening for us to perform Joyous Service) Konosaki wa ichirestsu naru ni dandan to Minouchi sawari mina tsuku de aro 11-2Hereafter, all of you may receive (talking to early followers) disorders of the body little by little. Dono yona sawari tsuitemo anjina yo Tsukihi no kokoro erai omowaku 11-3Whatever disorders may appear, do not worry, for there is a great intention in the mind of God. Minouchi ni sawari tsuitemo meme no Kokoro sorezore mina wakeru de na 11-4Through a disorder may come to the body, I am making a distinction in each of your minds. Shinjitsu ni omou kokoro to meme no Shiyan bakari o omoi iru to o 11-5I shall distinguish those thoughts, which are sincere from those which are self centered. Tsukihi niwa dono yona kokoro iru mono mo Konotabi shikato wakete miseru de 11-6Whatever kind of mind one may have, God will at this time make the distinction clear. Dono yona kokoro mo shikato mite iru de Tsukihi Konotabi mina wakeru de na 11-7God clearly sees what kind of mind one has, and will at this time make the distinction clear (illness as guidance). Kuchi saki no tsuisho bakari wa iran mono Kokoro no makoto Tsukihi mite iru 11-8Words of flattery are unwanted. God looks for the sincerity of the mind. Koremade mo iroiro hanashi toitaredo Honshinjitsu ga miete nai node 11-9Even until now, though I have given you my teaching in various talks, the real truth has not been seen (guidance not seen) . Kyonohi wa nanino hanashi o shitaru tomo Chigau yo naru koto wa yuwanedo 11-10 Today, whatever talks I may give, I shall never tell you anything that will become false. Tsukihi yori ichido yute oita nara Itsu ni naritemo chigau koto nashi 11-11What God has once said, will never become false through time. Sore shirazu soba no kokoro wa tare nitemo Sekainami naru yoni omote 11-12Unaware of this, even all of you close to me think my words to be worldly common. Konotabi no nayamu tokoro de tokushin se Mina no kokoro mo meme kokoro mo 11-13From her (Kokan) suffering at this place, be convinced, you and all minds. Kono koto o juyojizai wa chigawanedo Mina no kokoro ni shochi nakeneba 11-14This matter, There is no failure in my free and unlimited workings (suffering or guidance) , but there must be pondering (understanding) in everyone’s mind. Ichiretsu ni shochi o shitaru koto naraba Tsukihi ukeyote tashika tasukeru 11-15When you all have pondered everything, God will assuredly certainly save her. Kono tasuke doyu koto ni omou kana Mikka me niwa soto i deru yo 11-16What do you think of this salvation? She will be able to go outside in three days or God will go out in three days (related to Kokan’s illness) . Koremade mo Tsukihi to yute dandan to Hanashi mo toite kitaru naredomo 11-17Even until now, though I called myself God and gave you my teachings step by step, Mada shin no tokoro wa sarani wakarumai Konotabi donna koto mo arawasu 11-18still perhaps you cannot understand concerning the Original mind’s location (we direct our prayer there). At this time, I shall reveal all things (bring upon guidance) . Hanashi demo onashi tokoro de yu naraba Nando ningen gokoro naru yo 11-19Even with my talks, if I give them at the same place, you might take them as being from a human being. Mina no mono omou kokoro wa Kinodoku ya
Konotabi tokoro kaete hanashi o 11-20So as not to cause you such pitiful thoughts, I shall give my talks at a different place at this time (where Kokan is being taken care of). Kore kiite ikana mono demo tokushin se Tsukihi juyo mina kono dori 11-21On hearing it, be convinced whoever you may be, the free and unlimited workings of God always work in this way (see next verse). Tainai e Tsukihi irikomi juyo o Yute iredomo shochi arumai 11-22God enters the body , free and unlimited workings (illness) are said to appear but perhaps there is no pondering. Konosaki wa seeippai ni dandan to Kotowarite ue kakaru koto nari 11-23Henceforth, after giving you as much notice step by step as I am able to. I shall begin (Guiding early followers by Kokan’s illness). Tsukihi yori araware deru to yuta tote Dandan nanimo kotowarite ue 11-24Though I say God makes things manifest, it is only after giving every notice (thru Ofudesaki) of it step by step. Konotabi no nayamite iru o yamai ya to Omote iru no wa kore wa chigau de 11-25You are thinking that the suffering (Kokan’s suffering) at this time is from illness, but the thought is wrong. Kore bakari yamai nazo towa omouna yo Tsukihi juyo shirashitai yue 11-26Never think it is only an illness or the like, but from the desire for you to know the free and unlimited workings of God (God’s guidance) . Nanimo kamo dono yona koto mo shirasuru wa Saki no omowaku aru kara no koto 11-27I inform you of all matters whatever In the future, there is an expectation (purpose for her) . Kono hanashi doyu koto de aru naraba Saki no yorozu wa Tsukihi hikiuke 11-28To explain what this talk is about, In the future, God will take charge of everything. Tsukihi yori hikiuke suru to yu no mo na Moto no innen aru kara no koto 11-29God will take charge because there is a causality of origin. (Kokan was one of the instruments at creation). Innen mo doyu koto de aru naraba Ningen hajime moto no dogu ya 11-30To explain what the causality is about. She is an instrument of at the origin in the beginning of human beings. Kono mono ni Tsukihi yorozu no shikomu suru Sore de Mezurashi tasuke suru no ya 11-31God will train this person in all matters and bring about marvelous salvation (when all mankind purified) . Kono koto wa choto no koto ya to omouna yo Kore wa nihon no koki naru no ya 11-32Do not think of this lightly. This will become the divine record of nihon. Are inde kora hodo nanino sukiyaka ni Tasukaru koto o hayaku shiritara 11-33If you had only known earlier that she should have been returned home to be saved completely. Sore shirazu dodo inasazu kono toko de Yojo sashite okoto omote de 11-34Unaware of it, you would not return her, but tried to care for her there. Konna koto hayaku shiritaru koto naraba Setsunami mo nashi shinpai mo nashi 11-35If you had known this earlier, there would have been no suffering or anxiety. Ningen wa azanai mono de aru karani Tsukihi yuwareru koto o somuita 11-36Because you humans are shallow minded, you did not heed the words of God. Korekara wa donna koto demo Tsukihi niwa Motare tsukaneba naran koto ya de 11-37From now on, you must firmly lean on God in all matters whatever. Dono yona koto o suru nimo Tsukihi nite Motarete ireba abunage wa nai 11-38In doing anything, so long as you lean on God, there will be no danger. Kono yona kekko naru no michisuji o Shirazu ni ita ga ato no kokwai 11-39Your unawareness of such a splendid path as this has led to your remorse. Konosaki wa dono yona koto o yuware temo Tsukihi yuwareru koto wa somukan 11-40Hereafter whatever you are told, You should never go against what God says. Tsukihi yori yashiro to naru no muna saki no Tsukaete aru o nanto omou zo 11-41The heart of the one selected to become the Shrine of God is blocked. What are you thoughts? Kono tsukae hitonami naru to omouna yo Tsukihi no kokoro makoto shinpai 11-42Do not think of this blocking as being ordinary. The mind of God is truly worried. Sore shirazu mina ichiretsu wa meme ni Waga mi shiyan de shigoto bakari o 11-43Unaware of this , all of you everywhere are doing your own work only with self centered thoughts. Tsukihi niwa dono yona michi mo miete aru Sekaiju wa sore o omowazu 11-44God sees all paths whatever (sees our souls with negative energy/dusts) , but no one in the world thinks about it.

Konna koto nani o yu ya to mina no mono Omou de aro kodomo kawai 11-47All of you may be wondering why I say such things. It is from my love for my children. Sekaiju oku no kodomo mune no uchi Wakaru moyo ga kore wa nai ka yo 11-48All my many children in the world, is there not a way I can prepare to make you understand the innermost heart (pure mind) ?

Kono kokoro doshite naru to omou kana Tsukihi tainai irikonde nara 11-54You may be wondering how one becomes such a mind. If only God enters the body (gives us blessings/ guidance). Nichinichi ni hitori kokoro ga isamu nari Yokizukume no kokoro naru yo 11-55Day by day, the mind will be spirited of itself and become the mind filled with joy (only if we ponder o ver guidance). Tsukihi yori Nichinichi kokoro isame kake Yokizukome ni shite kakaru de na 11-56Making the mind spirited day by day, God will work to make the world be filled with joy.

Click to continue to : Chapter 12 Chapter 11 Summary If tightness comes upon your chest, God is hastening you to purify one’s mind. God will start working step by step. This is God’s guidance.
God telling people that there is only one location where the prayers are directed toward, which is the location of the original mind. God wants the people who are taking care of Kokan (shrine of God) to return her to the residence of God (Jiba). There can not be any other location where our prayers can be directed towards.
God saying that the suffering must be great at this place, but these are God’ guidance. God is warning the people taking care of Kokan. God warns them to ponder what is happening to her. God assures that she will become healthy if they listen to God.
God tells the early followers that warnings were given, but were not heeded. That is why Kokan suffers. God’s warning to return Kokan to the residence of God so she can be healthy
God promises Kokan will be healthy in 3 days, but no one understands. The people did not return her, and Kokan passes away for rebirth.
God tells the people that her suffering was in vain, and she could have been saved if they listened to God. They need to purify their minds, and lean on God. God never tells anything that is not true.
God says that he sees the mind of the world, and he sees their future; but people do not understand causality, and only have self centered minds.
God explains that Kokan was one of the instrument at creation, and God will continue to train her, and bring upon world salvation.
God telling people that God warns the early followers by the Ofudesaki, and enters their bodies to provide guidance in the form of illness to purify their minds.
God says one can purify his or her mind by God entering the body, and provide guidance in the form of illness. When one ponders over the illness, and removes evil from the mind, the body heals, and one becomes spirited.
