This salvation, 115 years old predestined length of life, to settle and fix is God’s desire.

OFUDESAKI 14-89
Interpretation:
The settled mind is the Original pure mind, the mind without negative thoughts. This is the total message of the Ofudesaki. If one attains the pure mind, one will attain health and happiness! These teachings are simple, but because of our selfishness, it is a difficult path to attain the pure mind. God teaches us how to attain this pure mind in the Ofudesaki.
WHY OUR RELIGION DOES NOT GROW
Population of different religions
Christian 2.6 Billion
Islam 2.4 billion
Hinduism 1.2 billion
Buddhism 500 million
Shinto 100 million
Tenri 3 million
Tenrikyo has .0378% or 3 million out of 8 billion people in the world
This is much less than 1% of the world population!
Why does the religion not grow? Some will say that we are spreading the seeds, and the religion will grow? But I will tend to disagree.
Why would a religion grow that practices customs and rituals that are foreign to people? Why are we having our services in Japanese with Japanese musical instruments and garments? Some will say we are practicing Shinto.
Yes you may say that I am going against our religion, but I believe I am not. I have a solution to remedy our problem. Please listen to what I have to say.
How many of us have read the Ofudesaki, which is the most sacred scripture in the world? In the Ofudesaki there are three main topics. These are the following
1. Original pure mind (shinjitsu)
2. heart/soul (mune)
3. God’s workings (you)
The Original pure mind is a mind without disappointment, covetousness, self-love, greed, and arrogance. This was the mind given from heaven to the first parents of human beings (Izanagi and Izanami). This is the mind God wants us to return to. The 2nd part of the Joyous Service, which I call the actual teodori (hand dance) explains the story of creation, and confirms that Original pure mind given from heaven.
Both the heart/soul (mune) and God’s working (you), are explained, to help us attain the Original pure mind (shinjitsu).
God tells us that when we attain the Original pure mind, we will attain health and happiness. This is the message we must send to the world! The instructions to attain this mind is given in the Ofudesaki. This involves understanding the heart/soul (mune), and what God will do (you), to attatin the Original pure mind.
I have published a book on Amazon that is easy to read and understand about the Ofudesaki. Also it will serve as a book/pamphlet to distribute to spread our teachings. It can be obtained at a minimum cost of less than $4.00. The book is called God’s Recipe for Health and Happiness/ Ofudesaki.
OFUDESAKI 13-86
Interpretation:
God wants us to receive the Original pure mind.
