Clearing Misconceptions on Tenrikyo Found at FindTheData.org

Wow, it’s been some time since I’ve contributed to TR! I apologize for my absence. Some weeks ago, I stumbled upon a page entitled “Popular Questions & Answers for Tenrikyo” on FindTheData.org. Although it provides a handy list of Q&A, I found it to contain some information I would qualify as misconceptions at best.

“The Importance of the Service” by Rev. Colin Saito

Rev. Colin Saito had stopped by the other day and passionately explained his understanding of the Yorozuyo to a few of us and described the true love of Oyasama in teaching us just that. Indeed he was very inspired to spread his words to others. So I asked if he could allow me to put his speech that he did for the Tenrikyo Hawaii Convention 2011 in the “Study of the Service” section. He had kindly allowed me to do so. Just as I remembered at the Convention, I felt like I could feel the importance of the Service through his words. Reading it would probably not do justice, but it would be better than nothing.

His lecture is titled: “The Importance of the Service”
