God of truth who manages cosmos and planet
Katori Konkokyo
Honorable history
Kandori Shigeemon, the guru of Katori Konkokyo religion, was born in 1823 in the village of Katori, Konko-cho, Asakuchi, where the current Katori Konkokyo religion headquarters is located.
I did. After getting married, he got sick and moved to his wife's village in 1845, but his family died of illness one after another.
He was said to be the worshiper of Konjin and a shaman, and moved six times in 11 years. While praying enthusiastically while getting sick.
I came to be connected with the god by encountering Ono Uta, who enshrines the god of Konjin in Funao-cho, Kurashiki City (currently Funao-cho, Kurashiki City).
Then, in the 4th year of Ansei, on November 6, 1857 (34 years old), a god proclaimed a god and was erected. Ansei September 6 Return to Katori's parents' home
He made a wide front and had a strict devotion. The sacred rice created by praying at that time is still said to fulfill the ambition.
It has been taken over. It is understood that the god who gives the power to overcome difficulties is the ancestor of cosmos and planet and the founder of the world, "Tenchi Kane no kami".
I worshiped it in honor of it. After that, many worshipers came to hear the benefits of solving the great difficulty.
Bunjiro Akazawa, the guru of Konkokyo (childhood name Katori Genichi), is a real brother, and the two are standing at the same time. At the time of Founding of religion, there was interaction and there were many similarities in doctrine.
The religion in which the guru is a brother is unprecedented in the world.
Guru's teaching
The Guru has been practicing on 2 tatami mats for 33 years since he was erected.
And the following words are left.
"I can't go while I have the shape of this person (the body of the guru), but
If you hide the shape (body), I will go to any child, I hope
There is this person (guru) at the bedside of his son. "
No matter where or what you are doing, your devotion is "Thank you."
Thanks to you. And I got angry so that I wouldn't get angry to believe
Then, with that angry feeling, proceed to devotion.
Believing in God is the same as filial piety to your parents. If you meet a person
Say hello. God dwells in the head of a person. When you become great, become an ear of rice.
The Guru was proclaimed in this way and became a god.

Here are some of them.

With poison as a medicine,
you will definitely be able to
benefit from it
as if your enemies were
on your side.
