As we reach the months of Kōju, what you must do now is to reflect on how you
have lived this year; and carefully think about how you have been involved with
Shinkon to raise your jittai.
The love you show Shinkon will help grow the kokoro of
hōshi which is the kokoro to interact with all people and all things in a proper
way, and help grow a human being
that lives wrapped with a kokoro of gratitude.
Expressing the Growth of your Kokoro
and your
Gratitude in Writing
Onreigokigansho
On your Onreigokigansho, write down your feelings of spiritual growth
over the year and your gratitude for the protection. How have you deepened your
involvement with others while studying Kami’s teachings and
offering kigan? Please reflect and write it down. And
please submit it at goshinzen at Shinsōhonbu or Hikari
no Yakata as soon as Kōju Shinja
Sanpaiji begins. Kyōshu Seishisha Tomomarukō Sensei will
convey it to Shinkon with the power of Kami.
From August 1st, you can receive Onreigokigansho on the 1st floor of
Yūwa no Yakata at Shinsōhonbu and also at Hikari no
Yakata. It is also possible to print out from the following link.

To the souls of our deceased ancestors who live on the same Kokoro no Michi,
we report our progress over the past year as we lived in accordance with
Kami’s teachings, and let them know how we are living. As a result, the
souls of the deceased and ancestors will be stabilized, and a great sense of peace
and respect will be delivered to them. Our kokoro will also be filled with
a sense of security, and our determination to abide by the path will become
stronger. Hence, you will leave many good elements behind in your
