Chapter 5 - The universal origin of religions and their unity |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
About this chapterOne of the major aims of the Sukyo Mahikari movement is to lay the foundation on which all the religions and people of different beliefs can be united, that is, to facilitate the return of all religions to their common origin. Dr Tebecis believes that Sukyo Mahikari can play a significant role towards achieving this because it enables people to give and receive the Light of the Creator God, and helps them to practise universal laws that make up the common foundation of the major religions. The universal teachings transcend the barriers between religions. This chapter also refers to most of the academic studies that have been made of the Mahikari organisation, as research studies of religions can also help to achieve integration of religions, if conducted in a spirit of open-mindedness and cooperation. The last part deals with the author’s understanding of the essence of Sukyo Mahikari from a practical point of view – ‘directing oneself towards God’, being a Mahikari practitioner.Ordering the bookSingle or bulk copies of this, and a previous publication, on Sukyo Mahikari can be ordered and sent to you.

Comments from readers"The universal origin of religions and their unity, a central theme with Sukyo Mahikari being a powerful and objective facilitator for eventual religious unification, is communicated effectively and convincingly by Dr Tebecis in chapter 5 of his book, "Is the future in our hands?" This chapter is wonderfully sprinkled with refreshing statements by Sukuinushisama (the founder of the Mahikari organisation) that relate to the topic of unification. Some current views on unity are presented, and mention of Carol Addlestone's observations of the remarkable similarities between eight long-established religions gives a perspective that enriches the process of grappling with the idea of religious unification. It is also very enlightening to read the treatment of the academic studies of Sukyo Mahikari. Comments by Dr Tebecis puts them in their proper perspective." David Brandner, school teacher, Honolulu, Hawaii, U.S.A * "The book deals with practically everything that one needs to know about Sukyo Mahikari, each chapter covering its topic very clearly. It is written with humility and is easy to read. I think it would make a valuable gift for anyone, of any level. The book gives understanding of the problems going on in the world today and how to deal with them with a sense of hope. United we can really make a difference towards the happiness of the world."
