is the state of your kokoro?
--To offer kigan to Kami to seek and wish for a life that leaves behind good
elements in
your Kokoro no Michi—
This is what is called the kokoro of Airei
Writing about Your Spiritual Growth and Gratitude
Onrei Gokigansho
Write down your thoughts and the efforts you have made every day as you have studied
the
teachings, your spiritual growth, and your gratitude to Kami for the
protection
on Onrei Gokigansho. When you visit during Kōju
Shinja Sanpaiji, be sure to submit Onrei Gokigansho
into the submission box at Kōmyōden of Shinsōhonbu or the
Kōmyō no Ma at Hikari no Yakata. Kyōshu
Seishisha Tomomarukō Sensei, will use the power of Kami to connect
your thoughts to Shinkon for blessings.
Onrei Gokigansho is available from August 1st at Yūwa no Yakata
1st floor at Shinsōhonbu and at the reception area at Hikari no
Yakata. You can also print it out from the link below.

Express your Gratitude Directly to Kami
Airei no Gi Ceremony
September 24(Thurs) ~ November 15(Sun)
Once you have submitted the Onrei Gokigansho, it is recommended to attend the Airei no Gi Ceremony held at the Shinjitsu no Michi Kaikan, Kōmyōden, at Shinsōhonbu. By directly expressing your gratitude to Kami (through ceremony), your bond with Kami will become stronger. Your jittai will elevate, and you will be able to make great strides toward kaiun. If you cannot make it to the Shinsōhonbu, you can offer kigan with all your heart at Kōmyō no Ma at Hikari no Yakata.
Schedule for Airei no Gi Ceremony *Japanese version only
*We are expecting many people to be attending the ceremony during this time. We ask that you only attend one service per person during Kōju Shinja Sanpaiji so that we have space for all to have an opportunity to attend the ceremony. Thank you for your cooperation.

Expressing Sincere Gratitude To Kindness for Others
Bringing Family, Relatives, and Close Friends to Shinji Kyōkai
Happiness is something to be shared not only with oneself but also with family and those with whom one has a connection. Please share with your loved ones how your kokoro and way of life have changed through learning the teachings of Kami—as well as your own experiences of salvation—and feel free to invite them to Shinji Kyōkai. We offer an introduction session to Shinji Kyōkai at your convenience to help deepen understanding of the institution.
Please Support with Charitable Donations to Protect the Environment for Salvation
To bring happiness to many people, Tomomaruhime Sensei and Tomomarusai Sensei walked a very difficult path of salvation and built the foundation of today's Shinji Kyōkai. In order to pass on this environment filled with Kami ’s love to the next generation, we are carrying out various improvements, including the renovation of the Hikari no Yakata. We appreciate your sincere support in the form of a donation.
Share Your Experiences of Feeling the Presence of Kami Online with Others
The various changes and the experience of seeing one’s life take a turn for the better—all resulting from putting the teachings into practice—serve as true proof of Kami’s existence. Rather than keeping these experiences to yourself, we encourage you to share them with those around you so that we may all find happiness together. Please do share your experiences of sensing Kami’s presence; we would love to feature them on our website under “Voices" or in our book series called “Kokoro no Tabiji--Journey of the Kokoro”.
