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

First of all the minister has to show that he's received blessings. To acquire virtue is the first priority, because one can't compete against those who have virtue. In order to receive Divine Virtues, you must not try to force it out of Kami, nor force it out of the believers. But if you practice faith forcing the best from yourself, virtue can be acquired.
* Push aside blessings; take in training
* The one fishing; the one watching
The universe is generously giving without any limit. You need a posture for accepting it. You can't accept it just by watching.
[Mini-teaching of Rev. Soichiro Otsubo] 7/12/s52(1977)
(from Mini-teaching of the Rev. Soichiro Otsubo)
(Translated by the Rev. Richard Dusek)

Divine virtue will be with you even after death and passed down to future generations. It can be received by anyone who practices faith. Divine virtue is never exhausted.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #2]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

If you can't swim you won't dive into water. Even in the midst of divine virtue, without faith you cannot receive it. Just as knowing how to swim allows us to swim around freely, Konko Daijin teaches us so that anyone can understand the way of the universe, which is always working freely around us. Anyone willing will be able to do it. Receiving divine virtue is the same as getting the knack of swimming. Why don't we receive the blessings that allow us to swim around freely in this world and the next world?

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.

People are too self-centered. At birth, they have no concerns about lucky or unlucky days. They are concerned about such days only after birth and before death. They die without concern for lucky or unlucky days.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #66]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

There is no one who lived a more simple life than the founder. Moreover, basing our lives on the way of the universe is truly the way of the earthly spirit as stated in, "Give in to those who go against you and leave it to time." It's said that humans are born from the earth and return to it. In the meantime, to live in harmony with the earthly spirit, that is the essence for believers of the faith.

Practicing a faith which is forced on you by others is a faith which is not genuine. A faith that is not your own is easily lost. Practice true faith with devotion. People speak of practicing faith together. A stone that cannot be lifted by one person can be lifted by the combined strength of many moving in unison. Therefore, let all the members of a family join together in practicing faith.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #24]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

We should carefully consider where each of us places the pivotal point for our faith.
* It's said that humans are born of the earth and return to the earth. Thus the time in between should also be devoted to the spirit of the earth (soil).
* Respect each process and cherish it. Since the process itself is the natural work of the universe (Deity), we should trust in it without doubt.
* If you experience the way of living your life in absolute truth that is free of problems, you will be able to receive ever widening blessings and crucial divine virtues.

Now, hear the sound of the universe opening and be awakened.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #1]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

There is no better time to hear the sound of the universe opening than when sickness or hardship persists. However, you cannot be awakened by this sound if you are not practicing faith. To be awakened is to find supreme truth. It is to comprehend the real truth. It is not something you understand from teaching or learning. What is required is single-heartedness and unwavering faith.
* Reverend Yasutaro Yukawa has said,
"The Divine Parent is the master. We are the servants."
* Reverend Matsutaro Yasutake has said,
"All things are sacred."
* I realize that everything that happens is divine.
The three of us who have heard the sound of the universe open in this way have been awakened. It is the way, open to unlimited blessings.

Since Kami is one with heaven and earth, you cannot live without Kami.
[Teachings of Konko Daijin #11]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

This makes the nature of Kami clear. The divine nature consists of truth, sincerity and trust. With these qualities Kami provides protection for the universe. Of course, mankind is also in the midst of this limitless divine love. The third successor of Konko Daijin has said: "It is taught that if the believer puts trust in Kami, then Kami will trust the believer." By this principle, if man is sincere then Kami will accept his sincerity. The exchange of sincerity and Sincerity is faith. It is also the way to reach divine virtue. Without true faith you will not even be aware you're receiving Kami's protection.

Give in to the people who go against you and leave it up to time.
[How To Develop Faith #25]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

Without true ability you can't win. There's nothing as pitiful as when you know you're losing and continue to face it. It's because your defeat is inevitable. When you win by losing, you should conserve your energy and wait for the right time. It's not enough just to wait it out.

Eliminate selfish desires, and recognize true faith.
[How To Develop Faith #11]
(from Teachings of Ikigami Konko Daijin)

The content of release from selfish desires is different from pursuits of renouncing self. Eliminating selfish desire is where our feelings become stronger and deeper; our desires will expand further and wider. It's the desire or feeling of releasing one's spirit.

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.
