	Tenrikyo
		The "Shrine of Tsukihi" means that God the Parent resided in Oyasama Miki on October 26, 1838, in accordance with the revelation of God the Parent.
		Oyasama taught that the origin of illness is in the mind.
		Oyasama Miki is no different than all the other teachers that have come along claiming a revelation from God, they all lie in their graves.

		Oyasama revealed that human beings are brothers and sisters as the children of God and that we were created to realise the Joyous Life where we live by helping one another.
		The year 2006 is the 120th year since Oyasama withdrew from Her physical life, and Her 120th Anniversary will be observed in Jiba on the 26th of January in that year.
		Oyasama's Anniversary is observed every 10 years, and is one of the most important ceremonial services in Tenrikyo.

	Prophet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Consequently, prophets in Direct Worship are accorded a normal human status, but are recognised to have received divine revelation as a reward for performing significant prayers and sacrifices.
		Tenrikyo's prophet, Miki Nakayama or Oyasama [1], is believed by Tenrikyoans to have been a kind of microphone of God, as God spoke through Oyasama, directly, to whomever was in the vicinity.
		She had three aspects: the Shrine of Tsukihi (the body of the woman was occupied by the mind of God), The Parent of the Divine Model (Oyasama taught the people by instructions and examples), and The Truth of the Everliving Oyasama (she continues to watch humanity develop, even after shedding her body).

	Oyasama (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		She was settled as the Shrine of God the Parent at the age of forty-one and spent the subsequent fifty years conveying the teachings in their entirety and providing guidance for people.
		The "Shrine of Tsukihi" means that Oyasama's mind had been replaced by that of God the Parent, though outwardly She was still human.
		Oyasama taught the intention of God the Parent by Her spoken word and written word and by demonstrating it in Her life.

	Xeyli's Ramblings of Nonsense
		Oyasama, Miki Nakayama, was born on April 18, 1798, in Sanmaiden Village, Yamabe County, Yamato Province, Japan.
		Even in such conditions, however, Oyasama was quick to give whatever rice the family happened to have to anyone in need that came Her way since She could not bear seeing anyone suffer.
		Nevertheless, Oyasama continued with dignified composure to teach Her followers the path to the Joyous Life, the ultimate purpose of human existence.

	Ofudesaki Comments Mori, Susumu
		The intention of the Parent is taught by Oyasama, "the Shrine of Tsukihi"
		In the case of Oyasama, each time children could not do what She said, She tried to teach and nurture them, using a different method, actually in all the possible ways until they could attain what She desired.
		Oyasama uses quite a few homonyms, one of the characteristics of the Japanese language, especially in the Hiragana style.

	Tenrikyo Paradise Church Home
		We follow the example that Oyasama has set for us, which is the basis of the Tenrikyo teaching.
		In the simplest terms, people who follow the teachings of Tenrikyo are trying to find a way to live their lives by helping others, so that we may live all together in peace and harmony regardless of race, creed, color, or faith.
		Oyasama is the name that we give to the Foundress of Tenrikyo, Miki Nakayama.

	"Oyez! Oyasama!" by Frederick Brenion
		If your mother is here today, hold her to your heart with that holy word "Oya." If your mother is not, whether you are estranged, separated by distance, or by death, hold her still in your heart.
		For her heart and yours will always beat as one, and in that unity of hearts is the peace of that Pure Land, our true Mother Land.
		Oyasama!!" is a juxtaposition of an old English word and a Japanese word.

		Also, neighbors and family members would often hear Miki talking to someone in the storehouse although she was alone (6).
		Dialogue between Oyasama and God took place during these years, whereby God conveyed the essentials of the teachings and the purpose of God’s manifestation at that particular time, at that particular place, and through that particular person.
		God the Parent also conveyed to Oyasama how the teachings could be made applicable to daily life.

		Namu Amida Butsu is an expression of oneness - in other words, Oyasama and I. Therefore when we recite Namu Amida Butsu it is an expression of gratitude for this universal compassion which is always within us and surrounding us, regardless of whether we recognize or accept it.
		We came into this world with Oyasama and will return to Oyasama after our death.
		Oyasama is the source of joy, hope, and gratefulness.

		Of course, the idea of sin must be interpreted in the Buddhist sense of karmic evil.
		Second, we believe in Amida Buddha as our Oyasama, or Oya-san, as it is sometimes called.
		In Christianity, God is addressed as the Father—”Our Father who art in Heaven”—but Oyasama is not in Heaven, nor is Oya-sama Father.

		Because of the mother’s unconditional love and care the baby felt secure and stopped crying, feeling comfort in her mother’s arms.
		In Jodo Shinshu, we often refer to Amida Buddha as "Oyasama" (parent) and ourselves as "Hotokenoko" (a child of the Buddha), because the infinite Compassion of Amida towards us is just like a mother’s unconditional love towards her child.
		Unfortunately, most of the time we do not feel that we are in the embrace of Amida Buddha.

		To determine what is right is what comes from the story in the Anecdotes of Oyasama when Oyasama told (I forget who) to cut a post and asked him if it was strait.
		Oyasama then told him to put a ruler against it and asked if it was strait again.
		I remember reading in the Selections of the Osashizu that in the Ofudesaki it states that as well.

		The followers of Tenrikyo call their god "Oyasama," which means "Divine Parent" in Japanese.
		The children spend a week in a camp-like setting, learning the importance of obeying and faithfully serving their parents.
		The children also learn how to perform the tea ceremony and how to dance to "Oyasama" to the tune of drum and fife music.

	History and eternity
		What is needed is a paradoxical model where world spirituality is participated in by all nations, while each nation retains its individual cultural distinctiveness.
		A counter example to Suzuki’s brand of spirituality is seen in the myokonin Saichi, who directly accessed Amida Buddha, calling him Oyasama, or “my dear Pappy”, and spoke of Rennyo as his pal.
		Saichi had a living understanding of the Tannisho and saw the Power of the Vow flowing in the world around him everywhere.

		I have decided to attend the Head Ministers Qualification Course One from April 27 to May 15 after my group pilgrimage with the ladies for Oyasama's birthday and Women's Association Convention.
		That class is going to be in Japanese (the English one in June).
		For English speakers, it will be an especially important year, because an English-only forum is taking place for the very first time in Jiba.

		His dharma - freely offered through the final teaching - the teaching of Dharma Master Shinran - to anyone, and everyone, who will flee to Amida Buddha naked - as only a refugee who KNOWS he is a refugee will do.
		His karma - freely transferred in one thought-moment of true entrusting to every refugee who truly flees naked from his own thought, his own life, his own ego - into the arms of OYASAMA - our perfect parent Amida Buddha.
		His karma - the singular “true and real” benefit of Amida’s transferred merit that causes us to be grasped, never to be abandoned, by Amida himself.

		I think of him as my Oyasama watching over me. That he is the personification of that which I cannot comprehend but surrounds me everyday.

		Before I quote Saichi’s poem, let me explain a few of the terms that Saichi uses.
		To refer to the Buddha, he often uses the term Oya, or Oyasama.
		It can be either mother or father, or refer to both parents.

		In the experience of Shinran the Buddha Dharma is realized intimately as the Buddha of Immeasurable Light and Immeasurable Life, the Buddha Amida.
		Thus, Amida is referred to in endearing terms, such as Oyasama, meaning my dear father, my dear mother.
		Immeasurable Light illuminates the fundamental human condition and awakens us to our limited, imperfect and mortal selves.

		Tenrikyo is generally regarded as a “new religion” in Japan, although it traces its founding to the nineteenth century.
		This movement argues that all human persons have a common parent, God the Parent (Oyasama).
		Due to our self-centered nature, however, humans fail to realize their true kinship with others.
