	Tenrikyo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Tenrikyo means 'the religion of [the deity] Tenri-o-no-mikoto' and is based on the revelation of Tenri through the sect's foundress Nakayama, Miki (1798-1887).
		Tenrikyo believers also expect an eschatological revelation which will take place at the centre of the world, located at the group's headquarters in Tenri city, and seek to remove by service and worship polluting 'dusts' and thereby release the inherent potential for a joyous life.
		Tenrikyo underwent persecution in the early years of the Meiji administration because as an independent pre-Meiji movement it had no tradition of devotion to the emperor and was independent in its outlook, governed by Miki's authoritative revelations.

	Tenrikyo
		Tenrikyo is a religion of Japanese origin founded in 1838.
		The kanji, or Chinese characters, which spell Tenrikyo connotate the group's encompassing goal: ten means "heavens," ri means "truth" or "reason," and kyo means "teach." When combined, Tenrikyo means "Religion of Divine Wisdom." The central idea behind this Tenrikyo is Kashimono- karimono- things lent, things borrowed.
		The focus of the religion, therefore, is to attain a joyous life on Earth through charity and abstention from greed, and to live a non self-serving life free from the eight hokori.

	Tenriky NewPath about Tenrikyo
		Though the Nakayama family agreed to cooperate, communication between the point of view of single heartedness with god and the point of view of the self centered imagination remained problematic and was to remain that way for many years.
		Miki worked tirelessly to overcome the gulf of misunderstanding that existed between the two points of view and finally settled upon a model for opening a path of single hearted salvation for all mankind.
		During the fifty years that Miki developed her model path she used many metaphors to illustrate the way and the intention of the path of single hearted salvation.

	Tenrikyo
		Living our lives in a manner that reflects our true and original state is often referred to in Tenrikyo as leading the "Joyous Life." Joyous Life is the very reason why God the Parent started the whole thing: humankind, nature, and all.
		Yoboku--referring to those who are in a position to administer the Sazuke, the Divine Grant--can use the Sazuke to help people suffering from illness and lead those people awaken to their true and original state.
		That is why Tenrikyo says, "You are saved by saving others." When this is practiced ever more widely, the world will eventually be reconstructed as the world of the Joyous Life.

		Groups such as Rastafarians, Mandeans, Tenrikyo, and the Church of Scientology are too small, too new or too unimportant in world history to be included in most surveys of "major world religions." Thus, in including such groups in this listing it is not always possible to appeal to a consensus within comparative religion literature.
		Thus, Tenrikyo was classified by the Japanese ministry of religion as a Shinto sect for about one hundred years.
		Outsiders would agree that Tenrikyo has emerged as something identifiably distinct from traditional Shinto religion, although many world religion writers include Tenrikyo in chapters on Shinto or Japanese religion for simplicity's sake.
