For the true salvation (Wagakokology)

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

The Ideal of Harmonious Joy is a teaching about the true salvation shared by Divine and human beings.

The ideal of Harmoniously Sharing in Divine and Human Joy, proposed by the master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo, is a vision for a world where the Divine work unfolds and His people are enabled to grow, stand firm, and truly flourish.

We are to mature into people who find true joy in the fulfillment of the divine wish. 11-15-2025

This faith offers two dimensions of salvation: the salvation that unfolds as we receive and practice the teachings, and the salvation that arises from our living connection with God Tenchi-KanenoKami.

To keep one's words quietly within the heart and to cherish each unfolding event as a divine working—this is a life that wholly accepts and steadfastly follows the divine arrangements prepared for us.

The true way to live as a human being is to live by focusing on nurturing one's own heart. 11-12-2025

First and foremost, it is essential to make up my mind to focus my life on nurturing my own heart.

We have been granted life in this world and sustained by divine grace so that we might nurture and awaken the heart within us.

The divine wish of God Tenchi-KanenoKami is that His children may grow in heart and spirit, nurturing within themselves the divine hearts of heaven, earth, and sun and moon.

The heart of true faith is to rejoice with gratitude for all that has been and to celebrate with hope all that is yet to come, embracing this very moment as a divine blessing.

Each human being is endowed with divine nature, which will germinate and grow through the blessings of heaven and earth and the receptive and nurturing heart of the soil.

The master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us that the faith rooted in aspiration is the highest form of devotion. It is essential to set the right goal in one's faith.

To practice this faith is to cultivate the heart that feels the living presence of God Tenchi-KanenoKami, refining our inner sensitivity to perceive His divine workings in all things.

The master Rev. Soichiro Otsubo taught us that the very foundation of this faith is to cherish the natural flow of all events that occur in our lives—seeing them as expressions of the divine providence of God Tenchi-KanenoKami.

The practice of the faith is the training that nurtures a grateful heart. In other words, it is a transformation of the sense of taste that feels gratitude; it is the change of one's tongue.

The blessing lies in the heart of peace and joy. The followers seek to receive blessings, but God Tenchi-KanenoKami's purpose is to bestow upon them the heart that is peaceful and full of joy.
