🍀"Jiba", the home of the world's human race. When you see it before your eyes, something always happens.

Since the birth of life, its “life” has been connected to “you” without interruption. It is said that it has been connected to you without interruption for 4 billion years. It is because of this unbroken connection that “you and I both exist” here and now.

What do you think would happen if “your life” were to see the home of life? What do you think would happen?

☑I don't know why, but I couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
☑I felt a pleasant breeze.
☑I felt sweat pouring down my face even though it was not hot.
☑I felt strong pressure, my palms were chattering and hot.
☑I closed my eyes and heard a whisper in my ear.
☑I saw a woman in a red kimono.
☑I felt a tingling sensation all over my body.

It is natural that something happens because you have returned to the “home of life.

Please come and experience it for yourself.
If you have already experienced Kiatsu, I am sure you will agree that it is wonderful!

God Tenri-O-no-Mikoto

The original God of all the universe, the God of the fruits.
The Parent God of the World's Unity and the Creation of Mankind

Protection of all things in the world

Founded October 26, 1838
Oyasama Miki Nakayama

"I am the original God, the real God. I wish to receive Miki as a shrine of God".
When she asked a mountain priest for blessings for her son's leg, there was no one to perform the blessing, so her mother, Miki, performed the blessing instead.
Thereafter, I repeatedly expressed my refusal, but there was no sign of retreat, so on the 26th day of the 10th month of the 9th year of the lunar calendar, I informed him that I would accept the offer. This was the founding of Tenrikyo.

Thus, an ordinary housewife (who was deeply religious), 41 years old at the time, became a shrine of God and “Oyasama,” and this was the beginning of Tenrikyo.

🍀About the teachings of Tenrikyo

It is taught that human beings are God's children and that they are all brothers and sisters in the world.
All are on loan from God, the Parent, except for the “heart”. For this reason, Tenri-O-no-Mikoto is called “God the Parent.

It is taught that when a human being dies, he or she returns the current body to God the Parent and is reborn in a new body.

In addition, God the Parent created human beings in Jiba, the place of human creation, to see and enjoy the “Joyous Life” together. Therefore, we are taught that the way to repay our debt to God the Parent, the Creator, is for all human beings to live the “Joyous Life” while keeping a clear mind and helping one another.

🍀The “Home of Life” = Jiba.

The vast worship hall, extending from east to west, north to south, is 3,175 tatami mats in area. There is nothing in the Jiba, which is at the center of the hall. It is a space where the heavens are open. It is a space where only a “nectar stand” is placed as a sign of the birth of life.

What kind of power do you feel from this space when you see the Jiba, the home of life?

In the center of the sanctuary as seen on Google Earth, the heavens are open.
The nectar stand is set directly below the skylight.

This “Jiba” is the place of creation of the world humanity and the place of God, the parent of human beings. Therefore, it is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so that anyone can return and worship at any time. Of course, there is no entrance fee, and as with other shrines, please pay your money into the “Gosai-box” according to your heart's desire.
