Tenrikyo's Dynamic Mission - ESSENTIAL INGREDIENTS for the "family recipe"
This time, no matter how serious you illness may be,
I shall teach you the family recipe for your assured
salvation.
Preparing your mind, by gathering the essential ingredients, for intentionally awakening single-heartedly to the truth and intention of its creation
This talk is not someone
else's concern. It is a matter
of your own and your single-heartedness with God.
There are two ingredients that are necessary to complete the "work" of intentionally* awakening. Conveniently, all human beings have them on hand for immediate use:
The first ingredient is a conscious mind.
And
The second ingredient is the sincere determination to quickly turn one's attention inward; entering into the darkness of one's own mind, sincerely resolved to engage in the kind of honest deep self-reflection that will reveal the origin, intention and original truth of self as the ever present universal single-hearted salvation. That single-hearted salvation is always available to all human beings regardless of the time and place; however knowledge of it is currently obscured by the marvel that is the accumulation of self-centered truths that appear to us to be authentic fundamental truths of the world.

* There are many ways for our self-centered imagination, to unintentionally return to its origin. For instance, it does so every time we fall into deep sleep; or, rarely as occurred in the story of Miki Nakayama's awakening, when fearful and under stress. Having been instructed to empty her mind; which she sincerely did, just as she was instructed, placed her in a position to help all human beings to also awaken. As a result then of Her awakening Miki, was and continues to be, able to show all human beings equally, the way to quickly, easily, joyously and intentionally return to, awaken and reveal the true conscious origin of their mind. For anyone who would prepare and use that "family recipe", that promised intentional return is carefully arranged so that it can be quickly and easily made available for all human minds equally. This uncommon "family recipe" never calls for the use of force, fear or stress; instead it quickly and easily leads to the true origin of all human beings equally and the intention in the creation of the human self-centered imaginations that life be an interesting and joyous experience.
