August 10–11, 2025[Sacred Pilgrimage]Mutsu Province,Miyagi & Iwate Prefectures Course

Day 1

1. Mutsu Sōsha-gū Shrine (Tagajō)

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival.

This spiritual journey will mark the final chapter.

You have untangled the bonds in a manner that honors the magnificence of this planet Earth while setting right its course from past errors.

If a journey begins with a misstep, it wanders in error to the very end.

Now, we have returned to the ultimate source, thoroughly seeking out and revealing those errors.

The people of this planet Earth have strayed from the righteous path.

Originally, a noble and pure race inhabited this land.

Certain lineages left this planet, but thanks to your endeavors, those departed lineages are now destined to return.

Even so, the cycle of reincarnation will require a great deal of time to unfold.

Whether one elevates or lowers one’s own spiritual standing rests entirely upon oneself.

This, you surely understand.

Why did conflict and war arise?

Because people lost their compassionate intent for others.

They became a people who ceased to care for their fellow beings.

When one lacks consideration for others, any transgression becomes possible—to plunder, to covet, to take all.

And so we arrive at the present era.

This spiritual practice is undertaken precisely to correct these profound errors.

We have entered the final chapter.

The Divine, putting all into motion, moves in countless ways.

This time has become profoundly vital for bridging the way to the future.

Fulfill your sacred role.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

Whether one harmonizes with the cycle of reincarnation or falls short, all depends solely upon how one chooses to live.

The time will surely come when all shall understand.

A moment will inevitably arrive when people realize that everything is the result of their own actions.

If one realizes this during their physical lifetime, course correction remains possible.

Yet, it seems many have not yet awakened to this truth.

May they realize it not through intellectual thought, but deep within their soul.

We shall joyfully fulfill this sacred mission.

There remain many exalted beings who have yet to be elevated.

We desire to continuously elevate them throughout this spiritual journey.

We shall move in unison and convey those souls who are destined to bridge the future.

Such is the deep spiritual intention of the Divine gathered here today.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

2. Shiwahiko Shrine / Shiogama Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We have received your greetings.

Thank you.

Now, let us continue our practice at the next location.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have been waiting for you.

Indeed, it is as you say.

What is self-evident to you may not be so for others.

Even if it is something you consider ordinary, for others, it is quite different.

That is precisely why nurturing and guiding others is necessary.

Every human being, having been born into this world, must hold the consciousness of undertaking spiritual training.

Those who prostrate themselves here, however, belong to a different path.

No matter how much they wished to express remorse, only now have they finally been granted the opportunity to atone, born from their sincere desire to ask for forgiveness.

In any case, each is a precious spirit.

How far one can grow is entirely for each soul to decide.

To nurture people means engaging with each individual in all their differences.

Yet, there is no longer time for that.

Even if they hear the words, whether they can truly comprehend them is a different matter entirely.

Hear this, all of you:

There is no time left.

There is no longer time left to learn in leisure.

That is why you must cherish every single place, every single moment.

Receive what you are told from the very depths of your heart, and move forward with that pure, untainted perspective.

Discard all unnecessary noise.

Most people exist amid meaningless distraction, tuning their antennae to trivial chatter.

They have grown far too selfish.

Such is the nature of this modern era.

Yet, it was humanity itself that created this reality.

All of it is your own responsibility.

Within this reality, how deeply can you grasp the truth, how humbly can you bow your head, and how much can you grow?

You have only a finite amount of time.

Now, learn, grasp the heartfelt sentiments of these remorseful spirits, and enter into your spiritual practice.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

The realm of the Divine is already moving through spiritual vibrations.

Because we have embraced your spiritual intention, our current movements have shifted accordingly.

We are selecting noble souls.

We shall select and convey only those who are capable of entering the cycle of reincarnation, and those who can bridge the future.

We shall continue to move as one with you.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

3. Yakushidō (Healing Buddha Hall)

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Indeed, it is as you say.

In this modern age, people inevitably rely upon physical objects and material means.

Yet, it is about spiritual intention.

We teach humanity to use their spiritual intention correctly.

Originally, human beings could perceive that spiritual intention through subtle vibrations.

Now, however, there is virtually no one capable of perceiving through vibrations.

This is because people rely so heavily on physical objects, possessing a perspective deeply dependent on the material world.

Medicine itself is not inherently evil.

Yet, humanity relies far too much on material things.

They have forgotten the righteous perspective.

That is why they must learn.

May they learn deeply and earnestly.

Now, begin your sacred role.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Thank you deeply.

We have received that heartfelt intention from the very depths of your soul.

There still remain spirit-beings whose state aligns with that pure intention.

Let us carry out and elevate these spirits.

We shall joyfully fulfill this sacred mission.

We shall select and convey only those who are fit to bridge the future, those who align with that spiritual intention, and those who are capable of learning.

We shall move forward in unison. For as long as time is permitted to us, we humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

4. Suwa Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Here lie the heartfelt sentiments of those who prostrate themselves.

Consider with what profound emotion they were placed here.

As I look upon them, there are those who have remained for a thousand years, two thousand years, and even beyond two thousand years.

It seems the Divine Kami and the Bodhisattvas of Compassion are truly resolute.

This reveals how deeply they desire for these spirits to move forward on their journey.

Do you understand the profound significance of this spiritual practice?

After a thousand years, two thousand years, or even longer, they are finally, at long last, able to express their remorse.

Unless one expresses true remorse, one cannot move forward even a single step.

You who dwell in the physical world, mark my words:

Do not live a life that leaves you with things to apologize for.

You must live a righteous life so that you need not express remorse—at least while you possess the time given in this mortal realm, provided you are learning.

Yet, even as humanity learns, it seems you continue to repeat your mistakes.

Even so, the physical world is a time wherein course correction remains possible.

Live righteously.

Now, enter into your spiritual practice.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have received your spiritual intention.

We shall joyfully fulfill this sacred mission.

Rest assured, for there still remain many exalted spirits among us.

And already, many Kami and Bodhisattvas who are prepared for this moment have gathered here.

We humbly request your divine guidance.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

May all of these spirit-beings be guided on their path.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you for your noble labors.

Spirits gathered here, hear this well:

You are now granted a single, unprecedented opportunity.

Those in the physical world shall guide you.

Follow only in that direction.

Is that understood?

Now, we humbly leave this in your hands.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

We shall guide all of these spirits.

Gather and follow us, one and all.

Come forward.

5. Hanabushi Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Indeed, it is so.

What was just said is by no means trivial.

When we tell you to always keep your inner self pure, this is precisely what we mean.

Those who are impure lead impure lives.

That is why they remain in polluted places without a second thought.

To purify oneself is a noble path.

What you constantly practice, what you speak, and what lies within your heart—all must be as one.

This is the true, original way of human existence.

What must never be is for your words, your actions, and your inner thoughts to be in discord.

They must always be as one.

What you speak, what you do, and what you think—all must align entirely.

There is no other way.

We merely observe whether this alignment exists.

Begin your spiritual practice with this pure spiritual intention in mind.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

When shown a righteous spiritual intention, we are able to fulfill our sacred mission.

Do you understand?

From our perspective, the good and bad within a soul are immediately visible.

That is a core aspect of our divine role.

We understand all things—even the feelings of the smallest living creature, whether it experiences suffering or joy.

Connect the path toward a future where all beings can live in joy.

We shall joyfully fulfill this sacred mission.

We shall select only those who can bridge the future, those who possess compassionate intent for others, and those who are capable of learning, moving forward together as one.

From this moment on, we shall always be by your side in your spiritual journey.

The many Kami who have gathered here today all share this very same spiritual intention.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

6. Yoshida Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We have been waiting for you.

We have looked forward to this moment with deep anticipation.

That you have untangled the sacred meaning of this land, looked upon its ancient past, and seen its original, true state—for this, we are filled with nothing but profound gratitude.

Consider how much time is required to correct human error.

If all people were to learn, such tragedy would never come to pass.

Learning is of utmost importance.

And that true learning lies solely within the teachings of the Divine.

We have observed the direction in which you are advancing.

We pray that you will build and bring this path to fruition.

Now, please fulfill your sacred role.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have been permitted to gaze upon the future born of this pure spiritual intention.

Toward that vision, we shall fulfill our divine duty.

It is precisely because there is a genuine heart of remorse that souls can move forward.

And because those in the physical world have shown us that future, these spirits advance toward it.

The Kami have moved in the direction of bridging the future.

We, too, shall advance in that very direction.

We shall gladly fulfill our sacred role.

We shall select and convey those who can construct rather than destroy, those who can bridge the path forward, and those who are capable of learning.

Though little time seems to remain for this spiritual journey, we shall move without ceasing.

We shall continue our selection; observe as it unfolds.

Thank you for bringing your sincere spiritual intention to the very soil beneath our feet today.

7. Tenshō-ji Temple / Abe no Muneto Shrine / Abedate Inari Shrine / Abedate Kuriyagawa Castle Ruins

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We have received your greetings.

Thank you deeply.

That you have journeyed to the very threshold of this sacred ground brings us great joy; we have eagerly awaited this moment.

Thank you for your devotion in fulfilling your sacred duty.

Beyond this, there is no greater role to be carried out within the physical world, nor within the realm of human responsibility.

Look upon how many Bodhisattvas of Compassion stand waiting for you here.

Now, please proceed with your sacred work.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Thank you deeply.

The reason so many Bodhisattvas of Compassion have been waiting here is because they yearn to receive that pure spiritual intention from the physical world today.

We shall joyfully fulfill this sacred mission.

You have shown us the vision of the future.

Among these spirits, there still remain those who are necessary for building that future.

We have once again been granted the sacred duty to convey them to that realm.

We shall carry out this mission with great joy.

From this moment on, we shall participate in every spiritual practice and convey those souls whose spiritual state aligns with this path.

It appears we have entered a time where only a precious little remains.

We shall dedicate ourselves to every remaining moment.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

8. Kuriyagawa Hachimangū Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We have been waiting for you.

Thank you for bringing this to light, for untangling the karmic bonds, and for stepping foot into this sacred domain.

Here were many who suffered—many filled with deep resentment and bitterness.

Yet, because you have entered this ground, path-bound spirits who can now move forward have been born from among them.

For this, we are truly filled with joy.

It is a noble and sacred duty.

Look upon how many Kami, and even Bodhisattvas of Compassion, have gathered here.

Now, please proceed with your sacred work.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have received your spiritual intention.

It is precisely because you stepped foot onto this ground that there are those who can now move forward.

Resentment alone cannot dissolve suffering.

No matter how painful the past may have been, that souls capable of advancing are now born here carries immense significance.

Because you came, and because you untangled these ties, this moment gains true meaning.

And through this, many more spirits shall follow and advance hereafter.

To forgive is an act of profound greatness.

Yet, had you not untangled these ties—had you not come to this place—even forgiveness could not have been fulfilled.

The Divine sees all things.

We have observed how deeply these spirits suffered.

Yet, precisely because there is one in the physical world who bows their head in humble atonement, spirits capable of moving forward are born.

We witness both sides.

This is nothing less than a sacred mission.

Because you are bridging the path to the future in this manner, the Kami and the Bodhisattvas of Compassion have gathered here.

Everything is already prepared.

This is what holds great power.

We humbly ask for your direction.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

We have selected all of these spirit-beings.

We ask that they be guided safely into the sacred creation of the future.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

You have labored well.

Spirits gathered here, hear this well:

You are now granted a single, unprecedented opportunity. Is that understood?

This guide from the physical world shall show you the way.

Follow only in that direction.

Is that clear?

Now, we humbly leave this in your hands.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

We shall guide all of these spirit-beings.

Come forward, one and all.

The Three Pillars of Kami (The Three Divine Guardians)

We have received your greetings.

We have joyfully fulfilled our sacred role.

There is no greater joy than this.

Thank you for your noble labors.

Day 2

1. Takamatsu Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We have received your greetings.

Good morning.

Welcome; we are deeply grateful that you have stepped foot onto this sacred ground.

We have observed the entirety of your journey's path.

That you have chosen this location within your route brings us immense joy.

With what profound spiritual intention have you undertaken these steps?

It is solely for the purpose of bridging the future.

Once again, allow us to gaze upon the nature of that future you bring forth.

We humbly request your presence.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have been permitted to look upon the future.

It has been decided that all shall advance in the direction ordained by the Divine.

And in response to this movement, all creation has begun to align.

Human beings can exist only within the divine framework of the universe.

Those who can steadfastly follow this divine path shall receive authorization for reincarnation.

No matter how rigorous this standard may be, only those possessing a soul of spiritual richness can keep pace.

Whether one is granted the precious opportunity of reincarnation depends entirely upon how one chooses to live.

Therefore, devote yourselves to learning and put those teachings into practice.

We do not say that every single person will succeed.

There are those who can and those who cannot; yet in the physical world, one must strive to elevate oneself.

Those who prostrate themselves here are spirits who still seek to express remorse so they may move forward.

It is precisely because the physical world exists that they are granted this opportunity to express their atonement in this manner.

This underlying mechanism has remained unchanged throughout history.

Live righteously toward the horizon of the future.

Embody the teachings in your daily life.

We, too, shall now set ourselves into motion.

We shall without fail select noble spirits who are capable of learning, and convey them forward.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

2. Shōen-ji Temple / Morioka Great Buddha

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

It is only human beings who dwell in worry and anxiety.

If only humanity could learn to spend their time like innocent children—brightly, joyfully, and with light hearts.

You ought to be living your lives with laughter and joy.

Yet, humanity has lived in a way that deprives itself of laughter.

Originally, you were meant to live with smiles upon your faces.

Keep your mind simple.

A human lifetime is a magnificent gift—a time meant for deep fulfillment and joy.

The physical world is meant to be such a blessed realm.

Yet, because humanity lacks true teachings, you indulge in foolish distractions and live foolish lives.

Where teachings exist, people lead righteous and noble lives.

Life itself is a thing of pure grace and gratitude.

How profoundly precious it is simply to be alive!

Without even understanding this truth, people indulge far too much in frivolous talk.

Discard all frivolous chatter.

Live righteously.

Embrace a truly noble and upright way of life.

If humanity lived thus, fewer souls would need to come before me.

Yet now, an astonishing number of spirits gather here.

Every Great Buddha across the land is filled to capacity.

Thank you for increasing their numbers—and thank you for stepping foot onto this sacred ground today.

We fulfill our sacred mission with joy.

Spirits come and go through these grounds all year long.

Is there still more that is required?

We have sent countlessly through telepathic waves—across the entire length and breadth of Japan.

Wherever you have walked on your spiritual journey, those places are filled to overflowing.

Such is the tragic nature of this modern era.

Live righteously.

This much I say to you now:

Live in strict accordance with the sacred teachings.

(Yes.)

Hear this well:

You have received learning directly from the Divine Realm.

You are special beings.

Despite this, why do you not live with utmost integrity?

Growth is possible only during your time in the physical world.

You have been granted this invaluable opportunity.

If so, lead a life that allows your soul to grow.

Once you arrive on this side, the journey is long indeed.

I shall steadfastly fulfill my sacred role.

I watch over every soul so that none are left behind.

Rest assured, for I shall perform my duty strictly as ordained.

I shall also convey this message to the many Great Buddhas across the land.

Thank you for visiting today and for revealing your pure spiritual intention before us.

Thank you deeply.

3. Sakakiyama Inari Shrine / Morioka Kaiun Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have looked forward to this time with great anticipation, welcoming your presence upon this sacred ground.

We fully comprehend the deep significance of this spiritual practice.

Having granted our authorization, we bear responsibility.

We watch over all things in a manner that honors that responsibility.

Thank you.

Today, as well, many prostrate spirits offer their heartfelt sentiments.

Because they led lives that left them with things to apologize for, they find themselves in this state of expressing remorse.

Yet, it is also a truth that because the physical world exists, they are granted this invaluable opportunity.

Precisely because those in the physical world take action, there are spirits who are able to come forward here.

And because there are spirits able to come forward, those on the other side bound to this land can also be selected.

This is precisely what we desire from your spiritual practice.

That you step foot onto this ground, allowing for the elevation of these departed spirits, brings us immense joy as we await your arrival.

Though the time permitted to utilize this divine mechanism to bridge the future grows short, we leave this in your hands.

While the proper environment remains, fulfill your path with all your heart.

Now, begin your practice.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have been permitted to look upon your spiritual intention.

It is immediately visible to us.

It is not a matter of mere spoken words.

Though words exist, we perceive the true reality directly through your soul.

All things are clearly visible to us.

Those who are capable of learning surely understand this truth.

The Kami and the Bodhisattvas of Compassion who have already completed their preparations have gathered here in great numbers.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

Look upon these spirits; we have selected them all for you.

We ask that you guide them with care into the world of learning.

We entrust them into your hands.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you for your noble labors.

Spirits gathered here, how fortunate you are.

You are now granted a single, precious opportunity.

From this moment, this guide from the physical world shall show you the way.

All of you, advance in that direction alone.

Is that clear?

Now, we humbly leave this in your hands.

Great Buddha (the Divine Buddha)

It fills us with deep joy to receive so many spirits and to serve in this sacred role.

We shall take all of them into our care.

Come forward, one and all.

4. Genshō-ji Temple

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Thank you deeply.

Those in the physical world have lost the ability to communicate through spiritual telepathy.

It is precisely because spoken words are delivered in this manner that they are able to comprehend.

Ordinarily, it is those in the physical world who carry the sacred duty of Buddhist monks who ought to deliver these sermons.

It is truly shameful that they do not, and it reflects my own lack of virtue.

As was just spoken, there is no other path than to live righteously.

If one fails to live righteously, one will inevitably reap the punishment of their own making.

No matter how painful circumstances may be, one must live righteously.

This alone is the truth.

In the afterlife, the consequences of all your deeds will, without exception, return to you.

I state this fact as absolute truth.

What you choose to do hereafter is for you alone to decide.

The principle is universal for all:

The ultimate outcome you receive is determined by your own choices.

Now, please fulfill your sacred role.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

Simplicity is a noble thing.

To be clear and straightforward is best of all.

Originally, our realm operates by the very same law.

It is simple. The sacred rules are few.

Therefore, carry out your work.

Will you do it?

Once you have resolved to do it, there is no need to entertain extraneous thoughts.

Fulfill it with steadfast devotion.

There is no meaning whatsoever in making things complex.

It is enough that it can be understood by all, from children to adults alike.

Today, once again, we have been granted a joyful time.

Let us make our selections once more—spirits whose state aligns with the spiritual intention shown today.

They are indeed present here.

Look forward to this with joyful anticipation.

We shall without fail convey them through this spiritual journey.

(Yes.)

We shall continue to move as one with you hereafter.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

(Thank you deeply. We shall proceed forward.

...I am sorry. Thank you so much. Naturally, one cannot help but feel it—that all the Kami and Bodhisattvas are moving together in the exact same direction.)

5. Hōon-ji Temple

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We have been eagerly awaiting your arrival.

Thank you for your noble devotion in fulfilling your sacred duty.

Do you realize with what profound anticipation we have awaited this moment?

For us, there is no greater joy or expectation than this.

It signifies that a work of truly monumental importance is being carried out through your hands.

Now, permit us to look upon that pure spiritual intention.

We humbly request your presence.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We are filled with great joy at the magnitude and righteousness of your spiritual intention.

We shall gladly fulfill our sacred role.

Among these spirits, there are noble souls as well.

We shall select those whose spiritual state aligns with this path, and convey those who are destined to bridge the future.

We shall continuously participate in your spiritual journey, moving forward as one with you.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

6. Kissho-ji Temple

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Thank you deeply.

We have received your greetings.

We have looked forward with joy to meeting you once again.

This is a noble and sacred mission indeed.

Within the realm of human existence, there can be no greater purpose than this.

Now, please fulfill your noble duty.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Thank you deeply.

We have received that pure spiritual intention.

It was the human world that made the order of existence complex.

Let us fulfill our sacred role in restoring all things to their original, harmonious state.

We shall make our selection now.

There are indeed spirit-beings here whose spiritual state aligns with that intention.

We shall continuously participate in your spiritual journey to convey such souls, elevating those who qualify at every stage.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

7. Mitsuishi Shrine / Tōken-ji Temple

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you for visiting us time and again.

That you have journeyed all the way to this sacred ground, untangling the profound significance of this site as you advance ever further toward spiritual purification—for this, we are filled with overwhelming joy.

The Bodhisattvas of Compassion, too, are rejoicing.

They have looked forward with great anticipation to conveying so many spirit-beings forward.

This land is a sacred place; yet, it was once stained with blood.

Through it all, our role was simply to observe, awaiting the moment when we might fulfill our sacred duty.

Now, however, we are granted an invaluable opportunity.

Today is that very moment of grace.

We have eagerly awaited this time.

Once again, permit us to receive your pure spiritual intention.

We humbly request your presence.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

By receiving your spiritual intention, we are enabled to make our selections with even greater clarity.

From this moment forward, noble souls shall be chosen; there can be no greater joy than this.

Furthermore, we shall convey those spirits who are capable of learning and growing.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

8. Sakurayama Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We have received your greetings.

Thank you for stepping foot onto this sacred ground.

A great many Kami, as well as the Bodhisattvas of Compassion, are waiting for you here.

We humbly request your presence.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have received your spiritual intention.

We shall joyfully fulfill our sacred role; already, numerous Kami and Bodhisattvas of Compassion who are fully prepared have gathered here.

We humbly ask that you provide your guidance to those who have assembled.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

May all of these spirit-beings be guided on their path.

We leave them in your hands.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you for your noble labors.

Spirits gathered here, how do you feel now?

Have you come to understand the true nature of a memorial offering (kuyō)?

How fortunate you are to have received such pure spiritual intention.

From this moment, you are granted a single, unprecedented opportunity.

This guide from the physical world shall show you the way.

Follow only in that direction.

Is that understood?

Now, we humbly leave this in your hands.

Great Buddha (the Divine Buddha)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

We shall guide all of these spirit-beings.

Come forward, one and all.

Step this way.

9. Senju-in Temple

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We have received your greetings.

Thank you for your noble devotion in fulfilling your sacred duty.

We recognize this as a truly exalted and sacred mission.

Look upon how many Bodhisattvas of Compassion have gathered here with joyful hearts.

Now, permit us to observe your sacred work.

We humbly request your presence.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Thank you deeply.

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

This is the shared spiritual intention of the many Bodhisattvas of Compassion assembled here today:

We shall select and convey those who qualify, those who are capable of learning, and those who are destined to bridge the future.

From this very moment, we have determined that we shall participate in every remaining step of this spiritual journey, continuously conveying and elevating those spirits whose inner state aligns with this path.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

10. Gokoku Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

That you have come to this place brings us immense joy.

Once again, we are granted an invaluable opportunity to select those spirits who can move forward.

Your spiritual intention is continuously evolving.

The very movements of the Divine Realm have shifted.

The one who has set the Divine into motion now steps foot upon this sacred ground.

Permit us to look upon that spiritual intention.

We humbly request your presence.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

The human world degraded itself of its own accord—all because it lost its sacred teachings.

Teachings are of vital, paramount importance.

Yet, almost imperceptibly, those teachings vanished.

This occurred because humanity became consumed by physical objects and material gain.

Those whose duty it was to teach lost their own way; they reached out for material possessions, lowered their own spiritual standing, and gradually became one with the material world themselves.

Blinded by the value of physical things, the human world transformed into the reality you see today.

You exist now precisely to bring about a shift in this reality.

Yet, the sacred promise to leave behind these teachings appears to be somewhat delayed.

It seems the completion of this work will take place further in the future.

I have only just realized this.

You must build and complete it without fail.

(Yes.)

We must support the process as fragile human beings build this foundation.

Precisely because these teachings exist—because they are preserved, and because sacred writings outlining how humanity ought to live are left behind—the future can be bridged.

It is a monumental responsibility.

When a true foundation is firmly established, in whatever form it takes, human beings can stand upon that righteous path and advance.

At present, such a state does not exist at all.

Yet, the proper environment for moving forward with pure spiritual intention is now fully prepared.

Be sure to complete at least this sacred task.

(Yes.)

We shall move forward as one with you.

Let us select souls with even greater care.

We shall steadfastly choose those who are capable of learning, and those who are destined to bridge the future.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

11. Morioka Hachimangū Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We are filled with immense joy.

Many Kami, as well as the Bodhisattvas of Compassion, have looked forward to this moment with deep anticipation.

Now, please continue your practice as we shift locations.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We, too, are truly grateful for your presence.

It is only because the physical world exists that our divine intentions can be brought to fulfillment.

We humbly request your presence.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

The human world has grown exceedingly complex.

Yet, precisely because you build and restore the path in this manner, the future can once again be bridged.

We pray that you continue to move forward in that direction to connect the future.

We, too, shall fulfill our sacred role; already, numerous Kami and Bodhisattvas of Compassion who are fully prepared have gathered here.

May we entrust this into your hands?

(Thank you deeply. It is a profound joy. To the Kami and Kannon-sama, we humbly ask that all spirits be lined up and assembled here.)

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Thank you deeply.

We have received our sacred duty.

Look upon these spirits; we have selected them for you.

There still remain souls such as these—will you please give your directions?

We humbly leave this in your hands.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you for your noble labors.

Spirits gathered here, how fortunate you are.

In this realm, opportunities are virtually nonexistent.

Yet now, for this moment only, you are granted an opportunity.

It is a single, unprecedented chance.

This guide from the physical world shall show you the way.

All of you, advance in that direction alone.

Is that clear?

Now, we humbly leave this in your hands.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

We shall guide all of these spirit-beings.

Come forward, one and all.

12. Kazuma Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

If the Divine Realm decrees that something is forbidden, then it is forbidden.

Human intellectualizing is unnecessary.

Evil is evil; good is good.

There is no middle ground.

What must not be done, must not be done.

Put into practice all that you have been taught and all that you have learned.

To know what is forbidden and yet turn a blind eye is unacceptable.

Live righteously.

If you walk with the Divine, there can be no compromise whatsoever.

Otherwise, step away.

To knowingly indulge in what is forbidden shall not be permitted.

Distance yourself from such ways.

Is that understood?

Consider with what profound spiritual intention you were granted life, and under what divine protection you exist and breathe.

It is the Divine Realm that maintains and prepares this environment for you.

While bowing your head to the Divine Realm, you must never live a life of error.

Is that clear?

(Yes.)

Now, begin your practice.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

The very significance of this planet Earth has now shifted.

Indeed, it has been ordained that this planet shall become the central core above all other planets in the cosmos.

If so, it must be constructed by those who live without shame before that noble destiny.

This, too, is an absolute truth.

You are currently in the process of building that spiritual framework.

Do not hold a flawed or misaligned perspective during this time.

Without fail, build it in strict accordance with your sacred promise and in the righteous direction.

And if there are those who wish to bow their heads and learn, they must follow that path.

Persisting in error shall not be tolerated.

It appears there are still those who remain in error.

We have observed this clearly.

They merely offer lip service.

Even so, we shall joyfully fulfill our sacred role.

With great joy, let us make our selections from among these spirits.

There still remain noble souls even here.

Throughout the remainder of this spiritual journey, we shall without fail participate and convey them.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

13. Shiwa Castle Ruins / Ancient Fortified Palisade

Kami-sama (the Divine)

At long last, you have stepped foot into this land.

Thank you deeply.

Consider what profound significance this place once held, and how grave were the errors committed upon this ground.

From one end to the other, it stands as a symbol of this nation’s history.

Consider how many pure and innocent souls lost their lives here.

Within the very same land, the same people turned against one another and engaged in mutual slaughter.

This is a place whose tragedy must never be repeated.

This is an error that must never happen again.

Pledge this sacred promise here and now.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

At long last, a true and noble spiritual intention has entered this land.

We have been permitted to look upon the future.

For us, who have watched over this land throughout the ages, this has become a moment of profound joy.

Now, we humbly ask that you take these wandering spirits into your care and guide them forward.

14. Akiba Shrine / Iioka Castle Ruins

Kami-sama (the Divine)

It is not I alone.

I believe you are indebted to every single member of the Divine Realm.

(Yes.)

So long as you hold that humble perspective, it is well.

It is through the grace and protection of the Divine that all life has been sustained and passed down through generations.

All living beings are given life within the domain of the Divine Realm.

It is only natural that humanity should bow its head before the Divine.

That is a fundamental truth.

Yet, we now live in an aberrant world where even this fundamental truth has been forgotten.

I desire that humanity becomes capable of speaking this obvious truth once more.

What is wrong is wrong. What is right is right.

It would be well if people could state this clearly to anyone without hesitation.

Yet, the current reality is that humanity fails to do so.

Even when people comprehend the truth in their minds, they remain silent.

Even when they hold righteous thoughts, they fail to speak out.

To remain silent when one ought to speak will inevitably bring deep regret.

That, too, is a choice of your own making.

Now, begin your practice.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

A spiritual intention can unfold in any manner.

A righteous spiritual intention grows ever grander.

And in response, the Divine Realm has set itself into motion.

We shall proceed by joyfully fulfilling our sacred role.

Already, numerous Kami and Bodhisattvas of Compassion who are fully prepared have gathered here in great numbers.

We humbly ask that you provide your directions to them.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

Look upon these spirits; we have selected all of them for you.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

Spirits gathered here, how fortunate you are.

This is your precious opportunity.

We shall grant it to you a single time.

From this very moment, this guide from the physical world shall show you the way.

Follow in that direction alone.

Is that clear?

Now, we humbly leave this in your hands.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Yes. We have received our sacred duty.

We shall guide all of these spirit-beings.

Come forward, one and all.

Step this way.

15. Enman-ji Kannon-dō Hall

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Yes.

We have looked forward to this moment with deep anticipation.

Learning that you would step foot onto this sacred ground fills us with immense joy.

Once again, we yearn to receive your spiritual intention and carry out our sacred mission.

Even when we desire to convey and elevate many spirits, our divine role is distinct; without receiving your pure spiritual intention from the physical world, it cannot be fulfilled.

We humbly request your presence.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

Thank you deeply.

We receive your spiritual intention.

We shall gladly fulfill our sacred role.

Toward the future, we build a planet rooted in compassionate consideration for others.

Let us select those spirits who are truly fit for such a realm.

We shall convey those who can bridge the future and those who are capable of learning.

From this very moment, we shall directly participate in your spiritual journey and elevate those whose inner state aligns with this path.

From now on, we shall continuously move forward as one with you.

We humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

16. Yasaka Shrine

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Time spent in the physical world is not inherently flawed or meaningless.

So long as it carries true purpose, it is well.

If it pertains to the growth and elevation of the soul, we approve of it.

What was just discussed is a task that must be carried out.

When you eventually return to this side, it will be vital that a steadfast framework has been established for those who inherit this work.

In that sense, this is a matter of great importance.

Now, proceed in accordance with that natural flow.

Is that clear?

(Thank you deeply.)

Now, begin your practice.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

You are in a state of spiritual practice.

As one undergoing spiritual training, dedicate yourself to it with even greater devotion.

Whether you can fully receive and perceive our divine messages—at present, you have not yet reached that level.

Yet, unless you continue to accumulate spiritual practice, you will not overcome that threshold.

Devote yourself earnestly to your training.

When your spiritual intention becomes pure and absolute from the very depths of your soul, the moment will come when you can receive them clearly.

Is that understood?

Strive with all your heart.

(Thank you deeply.)

Thank you for your noble labors.

We have already observed your spiritual intention.

Thank you for fulfilling your sacred role.

From this moment on, I, together with the many Kami assembled here, shall continue to perform our divine duties.

We shall convey those spirits whose inner state aligns with this path and those who are capable of learning.

We shall participate continuously in your spiritual journey from now on.

We shall be watching over you.

Is that clear?

Now, we humbly ask for your continued guidance and support.

17. Mikumano Shrine / Bishamonten-dō Hall

Kami-sama (the Divine)

We have received your greetings.

Thank you for coming all the way to step foot onto this sacred ground.

We have looked forward to this moment with deep anticipation.

Thank you for your noble devotion in fulfilling your sacred duty.

Within the human world, there is no higher purpose than this.

Once again, permit us to look upon your heartfelt spiritual intention.

We humbly request your presence.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you deeply.

We have just observed an environment where people are being nurtured so that they may express their true spiritual intention.

This is a profoundly vital time.

Nurturing those who will inherit your work after you is also part of the natural flow of your sacred role.

It appears to be progressing in a noble direction.

We shall once again carry out our sacred mission.

We shall select those who can bridge the future, those who possess compassionate intent for others, and those who can move forward together—advancing toward a planet where teachings can be imparted.

We shall continue our selection; a considerable number of qualified spirits have been found.

Already, numerous Kami and Bodhisattvas of Compassion who have completed their preparations have gathered here.

We humbly ask that you provide your directions to them.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

Look upon these spirits; we have selected them for you.

Kami-sama (the Divine)

Thank you for your noble labors.

Spirits gathered here, hear this well:

You are now granted an opportunity—a single time only.

This is extraordinary grace.

From this moment, this guide from the physical world shall show you the way.

Advance in that direction alone.

Is that clear?

This opportunity shall never come again.

Remember this well.

Now, we humbly leave this in your hands.

Kannon-sama (the Bodhisattva of Compassion)

We humbly accept this sacred duty.

We shall guide all of these spirit-beings.

Come forward, one and all.

Step this way.

Gochi Nyorai-sama (The Five Wisdom Buddhas)

We have fulfilled our sacred role.

To be able to serve in this divine duty brings us nothing but pure joy.

Furthermore, that we were able to convey and elevate so many spirits fills us with immense happiness.

Thank you deeply.

And thank you for your noble labors.
