tenrikyo

Tenrikyo, a monotheistic religion originating in 19th-century Japan, emphasizes the pursuit of a joyous life through acts of sincerity and gratitude, reflecting its core belief that all human beings are inherently good and capable of achieving happiness. Central to Tenrikyo’s teachings is the concept of “hinokishin,” or selfless service, which encourages adherents to engage in altruistic actions as a means of expressing gratitude for the blessings received from God, known as Tenri-O-no-Mikoto. Through communal worship and personal spiritual development, Tenrikyo aims to foster harmony and understanding among individuals, promoting a world where joy is shared collectively.
