While you are young, you will be asked to do work which pays wages, but when you get older, you will not be asked. In practicing faith, the older you get, the more virtuous you become. If you practice faith, your gratitude will increase with each passing year.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #55]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

As you remove 'self' year after year you become more grateful. If you're not feeling grateful, notice it is strange, remove that selfish character, then renew and practice your faith. You will certainly get a grateful heart. You are given rank not because you grow old. How grateful you become is your ranking. Faith is not practice for becoming great or wise; it's practice in becoming grateful.
[Mini-teaching of Rev. Soichiro Otsubo] 7/6/s46(1971)

Faith is to polish the gem in your heart.
[How To Develop Faith #21]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

You are able to take up the heart because, at the same time as people are born into the world they are blessed with a divine nature.
However, as we come to grow up our selfishness begins to sprout. Not at all like the divine nature, it corrupts and leads the way to wretched distress. At such a turning point in human life, true faith is what will direct you to the true way.

Tenchi Kane No Kami is a kami that has existed since the beginning of time. This kami did not appear in the middle of history. The universe is not a passing fad. Something which is not a fad will not end. It is essential to have a heart like that of the universe. Even those without faith receive Kami's blessings.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #7]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

The universe is not a passing fad and will not end. But there is no telling how much is changing all across this globe on which we humans live. Now our planet is undergoing stages of "frozen heaven and fearful earth." Even within this kind of situation, I feel that there are various changes that are occurring all over the world which are quite alarming. I think it is crucial that people realize the work that Kami is always doing for the human race, and take up a life that puts Kami at its center. Namely, from "the frozen heaven and fearful earth" to "a joyous heaven and delightful earth." To be able to accept such action, one must become aware of the blessings which "even those without faith receive" and apply a way of life aiming to make recompense for Divine benevolence. Thus you will hasten the movement to spread the era of Wagakokoro around the world.

Although people live between heaven and earth, they are unaware of Kami's blessings. Shrines, temples and houses all stand on Kami's land. Without realizing this, people consult the Days and Directions and are disrespectful to Kami. They suffer hardships due to these offenses. Tenchi Kane No Kami has sent Ikigami Konko Daijin to provide blessings and teachings so that mankind may prosper. Kami is Kami because of man, and man is man because of Kami. Both are fulfilled through this mutual relationship.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #3]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

Proclaiming from the start in a strong loud voice what Tenchi Kane No Kami has to say, it teaches us for the first time the way of prosperity for both Kami and man. These teachings point out logically, yet emotionally: the root of hardship comes from being unaware of the great blessings of the universe and of the way we are disrespectful toward it. Most noticeably this refers to "shrines, temples and houses all stand on Kami's land" and that "people consult the Days and Directions." However, it is not just that. While it indicates human misconceptions and misunderstandings, it is pointing toward a realization of an ideal world for Kami and people by continuously seeking to comprehend Konko Daijin's teachings.

As time goes by, this faith will become more widely accepted by the world. Practice this faith patiently.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #56]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

It's said, "A rumor lasts only seventy-five days." While patiently persevering, you will come to see through yourself and begin to understand your sorry self, your incompetent self. You will realize that to practice faith patiently is the time to taste how heartily you appreciate your beliefs and to acquire the virtues for persevering faith.
When you quietly are delighted
Blessings quietly are provided

Food becomes medicine or poison depending on your heart.
[How To Develop Faith #14]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

The relation of food and humans is something like that of a boat and it's skipper. With the skipper a boat can be manipulated as one pleases; with the human being, food. The food manipulated by the body combines in harmony to give birth to fine activity. Break the harmony and you also break the body.

01/18/2026

There is neither day nor night, near nor far for Kami. Pray with a sincere heart anytime, anywhere.
[General Principles #6]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

The more simplistic a matter is, you should pray even harder. By considering something serious, you naturally take it up with real earnestness. A heart of prayer is the point that's important. Being far but near is the relationship between Kami and us. It's something like this: Even by getting to the station, if you're careless you will miss the train.

The more blessings you receive, the more benefits you will gain.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #60]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

The spirit becomes bountiful and large,
So blessings become bountiful and large.
It's exactly as you receive more blessings
that you will gain more virtues.

01/16/2026

Those who practice faith should be aware of the true virtue of Kami.
[General Principles #17]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

It's said that those who truly like fish want the head. Those who only want the meat cannot be said to be real lovers of fish. With faith, too, those who are only thankful with blessings is proof of their inexperience. You take the problem which an ordinary person can handle and receive it as the divine will. One is able to understand the will of Kami and reach real divine virtue.
[Mini-teaching of Rev. Soichiro Otsubo] 7/29/s59(1984)
(from Mini-teaching of the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo)
(Translated by the Rev. Richard Dusek)

01/15/2026

People who practice faith should not become upset. Do not be afraid regardless of how bad things become.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #52]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

Whatever whenever something happens, no matter how well it is resolved as the problem-free working of Kami within the scope of Konko Daijin's mediation, there are at times startling matters. It is teaching to "not become upset," but this is where the ordinary man is more than a bit agitated. At such times you should turn to Kami and pray for soothing relief. Kami will provide blessings such that there's nothing to be upset about. Even when you cannot control your trembling, Kami will bless you with calm as if you could. It is because of Konko Daijin's guardianship.

01/14/2026

Do not be tormented by succumbing to selfish desires.
[General Principles #18]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

- Just like the fairy tale of the sparrow whose tongue was cut out, there are people suffering. There must be quite a number throughout the world.
- Without physical form, that is virtue. Virtue is not at all a burden; it can be taken into the next world and passed on to future generations.
- Throw out your tiny desires and live for huge desires.
- In this world the thing of greatest strength is to get rid of your desire.
- When you follow the way it's possible to remove desire.

01/13/2026

Man cannot completely comprehend the matters of the universe. You should be filled with awe.
[General Principles #20]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

It's said the future ahead is black as night, but by turning on the light of one's heart, it's no longer dark. When there's a light in the heart, one's antenna goes to work. You are able to get around dangerous spots. When you realize the true love which is embracing you, the light of the heart becomes so keen.
