The faith of the heart of earth—quietly holding back discontent without uttering complaints in everyday life—is the core foundation of the master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo's teachings. This is the essential practice we should devote ourselves to each and every day.

Faith begins with a filial heart expressed in devotion to our parents, and it grows into devotion offered to God Tenchi-KanenoKami as that heart is cultivated and deepened.

The starting point of the Ai-raku Principle is to release self-centered desires and to resolve, from the depths of one's being, to live in harmony with the divine wish.

The very foundation of the Ideal of Ai-raku is a faith that wholeheartedly seeks the fulfillment of the divine wish entrusted to me.

My life is a lifetime devoted to the fulfillment of the divine wish that has been placed upon me.

The foremost wish of God Tenchi-KanenoKami is that people may be truly saved.

But being saved does not necessarily mean that a person's desires or requests are fulfilled.

True salvation means that one's heart is nurtured and grows.

One cannot receive divine blessings merely by listening to the teachings; only by keeping and practicing them can one receive divine blessings.

The Ideal of Harmonious Joy is not a principle for seeking personal blessings, but a principle for receiving the Divine Virtue.

We can nurture our own heart through what happens to us with the teachings. 11-18-2025
