Tenrikyo Dynamic Mission RESTORING THE PATH
The path is one of removal of obstacles to awakening to the one truth, the true origin of the human mind, by the human mind and is not intended to add to the accumulation of commonly understood truths of the world.
From the very beginning, the Path of Single Hearted Salvation, that is the path of awakening for all human beings equally, met with opposition, interference and misunderstanding from just about everybody; beginning with the Nakayama family and following the spread of the path outward from the village all the way to local religious and governmental authorities and eventual to the world at large.
Before it became mixed up with already existing truths of the world and unreasonable imaginative expectations the Path of Single Hearted Salvation was and is in fact very simple, readily and intimately available to all human minds equally; when we speak of restoring the path it is a return to that original intimate simplicity that is hastened.
The restoration of the Path then calls for the return to finding human minds that are willing to quickly awaken and then find ways to help other self centered imaginations to sweep, settle and be calmed so that the origin of the self centered imagination can be identified, revealed, known and understood.
There is only the one truth that is hastened and because of that there are no other permanent thought or imagined true content to the Path or the teaching; beyond that is what is needed to communicate - in ways appropriate for the time the place and the level of spiritual maturity - with the self centered imaginations of the world. That communication being solely with the intention of quickly hastening and facilitating awakening to the true origin of the human mind.
