Hikari no Sato

Kokoro no Michi to Be Passed On

Our life begins when Kami places our soul within our body. We live our life closely with Kami; and from the time of our birth to the time of our death, we live out our life within the parameters of our soul (unmei).

When our time on earth comes to an end, we lose our physical bodies but our soul does not die. Guided by Shinkon, the spirit of Kami, it returns to Kami until it is reborn. Thus, the end of our lifespan is but the beginning of our next life. This is why Kami describes, in kanji, death of a human being as a celebration, to teach us the principles.

 

The human soul is reborn many times within the family lineage that it is deeply tied to. For better or for worse, our present way of life affects our descendants and it will also be reflected in the next life we are born into. Thus, it is important to strive to live a good life.
If we contribute to the society around us, establish good relations with many people and live a life without regrets, we leave behind good traits in our kokoro no michi, the path of our kokoro that is inherited and continued by our descendants.
When this happens, the family line continues to prosper for generations to come.

 

Hikari no Sato, where Shinkon is housed and the sacred ashes of Chokushi and Daishin lie in state, is the indispensable facility for our kokoro no michi to be passed on to our descendants eternally, and for us to attain true salvation.

 

The Soul of the Deceased Rests at Peace

Protected by Shinkon, our kokoro is filled with a great sense of peace and security, and our kokoro no michi will be connected to the descendants.
