Look forward to the future without saying negative things.
[How To Develop Faith #46]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

Whatever the circumstance, by receiving such a spirit of faith, there won't be a forlorn darkness laying in wait. Wondering what might happen in the future is what it is to speak negatively. It's the basis for an ill-circumstance. Whatever the circumstances, when it is taken as the basis for blessings, a chance for divine virtue, then you will look forward with pleasure.

Do not have a deceitful heart.
[How To Develop Faith #35]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

Frankly, there isn't a natural phenomenon that doesn't have problems. The fundamental point of the Airaku ideal is to take the phenomenon as the working of Kami. With each natural phenomenon there's a rhythm so superb. Day by day, moment by moment, go with that rhythm. There's not the spare time to have a deceitful heart.
Taking nature seriously becomes
Giving life to nature

People who practice faith should not become upset. Do not be afraid regardless of how bad things become.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #52]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

"Waves rushing into shore, crashing together, each one a test of courage," go the lyrics to a song. The same goes for faith. You must develop your faith to the extent of being unafraid and unperturbed in the face of any event that might occur. And when something occurs, the way you handle it will decide the blessings you receive. You also reach a new level of faith. It's quite a shining moment to reach such a posture of faith in Kami. I want to develop a faith so firm that voices will resound, "Bravo!"

The more blessings you receive, the more benefits you will gain.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #60]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

The spirit becomes bountiful and large,
So blessings become bountiful and large.
It's exactly as you receive more blessings
that you will gain more virtues.

Many place their trust in Kami, but Kami places trust in only a few.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #30]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

It's said, "The lord and his men for three generations." However, I feel that with loyal affection for the lord and compassion for his men the words will for the first time take on meaning. By how you receive blessings, you come to find Kami and begin to trust in Kami for the first time. The more you recognize Divine benevolence, the more you raise in your heart the recompense for such Divine Love. Those who are trusted by Kami are people who have resolved to respond continuously to that Divine Love.

When practicing faith, there are more blessings which cannot be seen than those which can be seen. The blessings you unknowingly receive are more than the blessings you knowingly receive. If you think about it, you will come to realize the many divine blessings that you have already received. When you can do this, you are a true believer.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #53]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

Since we are taught, "If you think about it, you will come to realize the many divine blessings that you have already received; when you can do this, you are a true believer," we then must aim to be true believers. To do that, you look to find where you are powerless. The feeling that "everything is a blessing" will well up and embrace you.

When your child is sick, do not become too emotional. Practice faith and leave the child alone as you would a disobedient child. Your child will be able to receive divine blessings.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #48]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

Between relief and conceit is a paper-thin difference. Even saying "leave the child alone" should not lead to negligence, and definitely not to self-conceit. Even the doctor who becomes able to operate on his own child is considered fully developed because his hand holding the surgeon's knife has gained confidence. With faith, too, when we confront not just a child's illness but all sorts of difficulties, if we can let it be and have faith, we will receive blessings. When you practice faith single-heartedly, you gain incredible courage and can receive the same quality of blessings. Really by reaching the point that you feel it is neither your child nor anyone else's is the ultimate. This is the world for those who have already received divine virtue.

You should be aware that Kami protects you in the same way as you love your child.
[How to Develop Faith #30]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

Happiness can begin just by being able to feel your parent's joy within you. Faith, too, can become genuine by awakening to the Heart of The Principle Parent (Kami). When the aim of your faith is for blessings, it is evidence of only understanding the divine heart and not having reached fulfillment. By accepting every circumstance and situation as sacred, and each experience as divine is the real proof of reaching spiritual fulfillment.

While you are young, you will be asked to do work which pays wages, but when you get older, you will not be asked. In practicing faith, the older you get, the more virtuous you become. If you practice faith, your gratitude will increase with each passing year.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #55]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

As you remove 'self' year after year you become more grateful. If you're not feeling grateful, notice it is strange, remove that selfish character, then renew and practice your faith. You will certainly get a grateful heart. You are given rank not because you grow old. How grateful you become is your ranking. Faith is not practice for becoming great or wise; it's practice in becoming grateful.

Konko Daijin did not have anyone he could ask for teachings. Many people come from afar to receive divine blessings, but you should receive divine virtue to pray on your own whenever the need arises.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #64]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

We seek mediation, receive mediation and return home. That is, our prayers are heard, they are also answered and we go home. To carry that out is to obtain Divine Virtue and become able to pray on your own. An older lady who had practiced faith for a long time just came to worship after three months. She had some relationship troubles. It was then I told her, "It may look like a problem, but it is a gift to you from Kami." She expressed her gratitude and said, "I feel easier after what you said today." Furthermore, accepting this as a gift from Kami, or a sacred event with praying hands of gratitude, is precisely how to receive the Divine Virtue to pray on your own.
