| 520 | |a This article discusses the cross as a central symbol in the two sects of Mahikari-Sūkyō Mahikari and Sekai Mahikari Bunmei Kyōdan. An analysis of the use of this symbol leads to a discussion of other aspects of Mahikari's cosmology, particularly its emphasis on Japan's role in the plan of salvation. Okada Kōtama, recognized as founder by both groups, offers an explanation of the faith based on the special significance of certain sounds and numbers, and the esoteric relationship of concepts based on the Japanese idea of kotodama. Mahikari's doctrine, as explained by Okada, presents a critique of modern materialism and promises a transformation to a spiritual age, a transformation in which Japan will presumably play a central role. | ||
