 Tenrikyo Headquarters, Tenri Tenrikyo (天理教; Tenrikyō, lit. Teaching of Divine Reason), is a panentheist religion of Japanese origin. Due to various similarities and some historical categorizations, some consider it to be a form of Sect Shinto - though the beliefs and practices are markedly different. It was founded by a woman, Miki Nakayama,[1] who underwent revelatory experiences from 1838 onwards. After this date she is referred to as Oyasama (literally Honored Mother) by followers. Tenrikyo is estimated to have about 2 million followers world-wide with 1.5 million of those in Japan. Image File history File links Tenrikyoemblem. ...

Background The focus of the religion is to attain "yoki yusan" or "yoki gurashi" (joyous life) on Earth through charity and abstention from greed, selfishness, hatred, anger and arrogance. - Yo (陽) is "positive", the same character as Yang in the Chinese Yin and Yang.
- Ki (氣) is "spirit" or "energy", the same character as Qi in Chinese.
- Yusan (遊山) is "an outing to the mountain or fields" (lit. excursion), implying an outgoing life.
- Gurashi (暮) is "livelihood", implying life in a more day-to-day sense.
Adherents believe in a single god, Tenri-O-no-Mikoto, (God the Parent) "Divine King of Heavenly [Ten] Reason [Ri]" (the term is used as a name-label rather than as a description), who is defined as the creator and caring parent of all mankind. Continuing reincarnation is part of the religion, but is not a major emphasis. Key teachings include: Moto-no-Ri - the principle of origin; Kashimono-Karimono (a thing lent, a thing borrowed) - the natural relationship between the human body and God; Hinokishin - voluntary effort as a means of showing gratitude for Kashimono-Karimono relationship (often charitable or public-service); Tanno (acceptance) - a constructive attitude towards troubles, illness and difficulties without placing judgement on what has happened in the past; and Juzen-no-Shugo - ten principles or providences involved in the creation which exist in Futatsu Hitotsu (two-in-one relationships), these principles are considered to be applied continuously throughout the universe. Japanese name Kanji: Hiragana: Yin and yang (Simplified Chinese: ; Traditional Chinese: ; Pinyin: ) are generalizations of the antithesis or mutual correlation between certain objects or phenomena in the natural world, combining to create a unity of opposites. ...

In Tenrikyo there are three successive levels of understanding of the nature of God: the first is Kami which is God as understood in every day terms, the second is Tsukihi (lit. Moon Sun), or God as the creator of nature and natural laws, and lastly Oya (Parent), or God as the parent of human beings. These terms refer to three successive levels of people's understanding of one single God as they grow in spiritual maturity. Image File history File links Tenrikyoemblem. ...

Many metaphors from building and carpentry are used in Tenrikyo teachings, which view the construction of a better world as a step-by-step process in which people can make small steps towards progress through working together collaboratively.
The spiritual center of the religion is in what was formerly Shoyashiki Village, now part of Tenri city in Nara Prefecture. The main shrine complex centers around the Jiba, a site that is represented in the teachings as the original place of creation. For god from Turkic mythology see: Täñre. ...

This teaching was started by Miki Nakayama in 1838, after her son and husband suffered from ailments. The family called a Buddhist monk to exorcise the spirit causing the ailments. During the incantation, God entered into the body of Miki Nakayama and asked to receive her as God's shrine. Miki's husband eventually gave in to God's request after three days.
The senior religious leader is referred to as the Shimbashira (lit. Main Pillar). In the early days of Tenrikyo there was another religious leader in addition to the Shimbashira called the Honseki. The Honseki was originally a man called Iburi Izo who was one of Miki's foremost followers, and he held a revelatory leadership position in which questions of followers would be answered and "timely talks" be given. The revelatory transmissions of the Honseki were written down and collected in large, multi-volume work called Osashizu. Following Izo's death a woman called Ueda Naraito partially carried on this role for a while, although she does not appear to have held the actual title "Honseki". Following this Tenrikyo itself has never had a Honseki, although some Tenrikyo splinter groups believe that the revelatory leadership passed from Iburi to their particular founder or foundress.
Tenrikyo teachings, despite emphasizing group effort, allow for a significant degree of individuality among different followers - differences are seen as complementary, and the overall organization is subdivided into many different groups with common goals but differing focus. These range from different regional Daikyokai (lit. large group), to disaster relief corps, medical staffs and a hospital, a university, an extensive museum, one of the largest libraries in Japan, various schools and several others. Tenri Judo is renowned as a successful competition style of Judo that has produced many champions, and there are also other sporting and arts interest groups within Tenrikyo.

 Frame from a Tenrikyo manga. The translation of the text is roughly, "Just being alive makes me happy! What a waste it would be to not show some initiative!" The history of Tenrikyo is turbulent, having been established during a time of great change within Japan. Some of the modern ties to Shinto can be explained through an understanding of the persecution that early followers underwent. Religiously, Tenrikyo has no ties to Shinto at all, although Tenrikyo as an organisation was forcibly influenced by State Shinto at a date after Tenrikyo's original founding. Tenrikyo was authorised by the Japanese government as one of the official Thirteen Shinto Sects. After 1946 an internal effort was made within Tenrikyo to remove the State Shinto influences from the religion, and asked to be removed from the government classification "Shinto Sect" and transferred to the classification "Other Religion". That this effort was successful in relation to Tenrikyo as a religion is generally agreed, but it is not true to say that all Shinto influence was completely removed from Tenrikyo as an organisation, though much was. For instance, many of the objects used in support of Tenrikyo religious services, such as hassoku and sampo, derive directly from Shinto, as does the general methodology used in the way that offerings are made to a shrine. It is also true that Nakayama Miki's son, Shuji, sought and obtained approval and protection from the powerful Yoshida branch of Shinto at a relatively early stage of Tenrikyo's development. However, this was contrary to the wishes of the foundress. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

While Tenrikyo may be considered a religion, it is considered by some followers as a teaching about the universe and does not necessarily interfere with other religious beliefs. It is not unusual for a Tenrikyo follower to also hold Christian beliefs, for example.
The relationship between the Tenrikyo organisation and the Christian church is quite good, and much Christian symbolism can be seen in the English version of Tenrikyo's main instructional text (Ofudesaki, lit. Tip of the Writing Brush). This may have arisen from the work of Christian missionaries, who provided aid in the initial translations to English. The Ofudesaki (Tip of the Writing Brush) is the most important body of scripture in Tenrikyo. ...
Tenrikyo utilizes traditional musical instruments in its otsutome (lit. service or duty), including Hyoshigi (wooden clappers), Chanpon (cymbals), Surigane (small gong), Taiko (large drum), Tsuzumi (shoulder drum), Fue (bamboo flute), Shamisen (a stringed instrument), Kokyu (a smaller stringed instrument), and Koto (a very large stringed instrument). These are used to play music from the Mikagura-Uta, a body of music, dances and songs created by the foundress. Most of the world's foremost authorities on Gagaku music (the ancient classical Shinto music of the imperial court of Japan) are also Tenrikyo followers, and Gagaku music is actively promoted by Tenrikyo, although strictly speaking the Mikagura-Uta and Gagaku are separate musical forms. Hyoshigi (Japanese:拍子木) is a simple Japanese musical instrument, this consists of two pieces of hardwood or bamboo that are connected by a thin ornamental rope. ...
