Description
Summary:Tenrikyo is a Japanese religion dating from 26 October 1838 when Nakayama Miki became the living shrine of Tenri-Ö-no-Mikoto, now usually called Oyagami. Early considered a simple, rural healing faith largely derivative from traditional Shinto, Tenrikyo has developed a sophisticated and, as the author sees it, a remarkably healthy world-view. It is, moreover, a perspective in which reason and emotion, far from being antagonists, are mutually supportive allies. The article briefly discusses the world-view and doctrines. (DÜI-Sen)
