The article #10. The most important thing = Trying to please the ultimate God, God the parent

This is Kohanbito as Lake Man.

In this article, I would like to talk about the most important mental attitude we should have as children of God. That is, as children of God, we should always try to make him pleased, and we should always try not to put him in sorrow.
We should keep this in mind all the time. And our action and our thought always start from this point of view.
That is very simple thing but this is the most important thing for us.
I would like to talk about such a theme today.

Since future is uncertain, and since we do not know when we need to leave this world, I decided to reveal what I really wanted to say through this blog first.
So, this article is the strongest message I wanted to express through this blog.

In the article #3 to # 5, I mentioned about my image of character of the ultimate God among thousands of Gods. And there, I said that the ultimate one who may be called “the creator” might see us as his children and see us as leaves of the life tree of God with his affection. And this God with mercy might provide us unlimited chances of growth and amendments in karma through reincarnation which comes from the idea of fairness and equality in chances. That was what I assume about the stance that the ultimate God may take. And today, from that point of view, I would like to confirm with you about what is the most important basic way of thinking we should take as children of God.

That is, the ultimate God who is the top class among thousands of Gods might be considered as the creator. If he is the creator, then he is our parent God. And if he is God the parent, then we should care more about how he see the world and how he feels about the current status of this world.

And we should live well in the world he created and we should do our best in his educational system (Karma, reincarnation or such) that he provided in order to lead us into much higher status in divinity.
And we should appreciate the stage that he provided for us, and we should try hard to meet his expectation. And we should try to please him. That is the mental attitude we (as children of God) always should take.

If I try to say this in much simpler way, then, I should say, we (as a mankind, as loving creatures of the creator) should try to meet the expectation of God the parent. And we should always try to please the God the parent and we should always try to make him smile. And we should “not” put him sorrow.

We should always come back to this point and remember and all our actions and all our thoughts should come from this point of view. That is what we need to do as children of God. This is the strongest message I want to express in this life.

From that point of view, we can easily imagine that such God the parent always expects us to love each other, respect each other, care each other, because he created all of us with love and he loves all of us one by one.
And we can easily imagine that he has sent many his angels with his orders and missions to this world many many times in the past, and he has created many different religions and different civilizations. And it is obvious that he hopes all those religions or civilizations get along with each other by accepting the differences and uniqueness and diversity.
In other words, it is obvious that he sees the current world with sorrow because he sees his loving children doubts each other and hate each other and kill each other.

Therefore, we (as human being, as children of the creator) should care more about how our God the parent expects us and we should not let our God the parent to be in sorrow, and we should try to make him happy by showing him that we are trying to overcome the misunderstanding and overcoming the hate and the fear which comes from the lack of understanding due to differences in religion and languages and culture and countries and colors of skin.

So, again, we should try to please our common God as parent, and we should try “not” to make him sad, and we should put this kind of idea as basis for any of our thoughts and any of our actions. And we should imagine that there is a high possibility that the God we were talking about are the same ultimate one, especially God that we see in world religions are very likely to be the same one. We thought they were different gods but the truth was not, they were seeing the same one. The misunderstanding was caused by the places you stood to see him were different from others, the angles that you saw him were different from others, and how you called him, the name were different. Those were the reasons why we misunderstood, but the truth was, we were talking about the same almighty God, the creator, the ultimate one. And we should see that he is the one who enjoys his creativity and he loves diversity in his creation.
And if we could find out something in common in different religions, then we should simply be pleased with it, and if we find out the differences in different religions, then we should simply wonder about the diversity in his creation. And if we find out some religious rules do not fit to this modern society, and if they were causing difficulties to let those believers adapt themselves into modern society, then we should always try to see not the surface of rules but we should try to think about what was the reasons behind the rules, what was God’s intention to set up such rules, and once if we could understand what was his intention, then we should succeed his spirits, and we should try to modify those rules to make them suitable for modern society while we keep his original intentions in them. We should keep doing it to make every religions acceptable and understandable each other in this modern society. And we should imagine that God the parent will appreciate such modifications and we should imagine that he will smile on you.
That is what we need to do as children of God, and that will become our devotion to God the Parent.

Now we should put the pride and ego of each religions aside.
Instead, we should think how our God as parent see us first.
We should imagine first that he would be so happy if his children in different religions love and understand each other. And we should imagine that how sadly he see this current world with full of fears and full of haters and full of tears.
And we should come back to this basic point. That is, it is our mission to make him happy by showing we are trying hard to be united, we are trying hard to love each other, and we are trying hard to accept the differences by feeling the fact that our God the parent is common God in all major religions.

I hope at the end of this century, this world becomes much better place to live and I hope at the time, we can have the situation allows us to speak frankly about differences in religions without terrorism.
As you can imagine, the key might be the world of Islam. I assume the Islamic nations in south East Asia such as Indonesia or Malaysia will be the key players to make some difference in Islamic world. They have great population, and they are close to Japan, so, with some helps from Japan, they can be more competitive in economy and more competitive in education and culture and sports in the world. If they become competitive enough to compete against western world with slogan “Allah does not want violence but he wants Islamic people to be strong in culture. Don’t make him sad.” And gradually if they become an opinion leader in Islamic world, and if they can achieve some modifications to Islamic strict rules which seems too extreme for non-Islamic, and if they succeed and become competitive county in the world and if they could show how the successful modernized Islamic culture looks like, then it will be great. And if some radical fundamentalists find out that violence was not the answer by seeing the success of such south East Asian countries, then it will be great.
We hope Japan can take a great role in such movement by involving economically by establishing factories in those nations, or by having educational collaborations, or by the spread of new Japanese religion which was inspired by such ultimate one. But this requires some political involvement and it requires planner to draw a picture of entire vision.
Turkey is also a good candidate but now the Turkey is in chaos, so, it requires more political involvements. If Japanese government can collaborate with Mr. Putin of Russia to lead and guide Turkey to be modernized powerful Islamic nation, that will be good too but we cannot expect Japanese government to take a leadership in such a project, so it will be hard. I am sorry to say but.

Anyway, I hope all of us work hard to make this century as a century of hope, and I hope we can make the ultimate one happy and smile by realizing major world religions live in peace in this century.

I hope this blog was beneficial for you.

第10話. 最も重要な事 = 親である究極神を喜ばせようとする事

湖畔人です。

本記事では、”私にとって、人類において最も重要だ思われる基本的な考え方は、『親である究極神の造りし世界を肯定し、親である究極神を喜ばせようとする気持ちを持つ事』、それが一番大事な事だと思えますよ、その気持ちから、我々の行動と考え方を軌道修正して行くべきですよ”、と、そう言うお話しをさせて頂きたいと思います。　

人はいつ死ぬか判りませんので、一番言いたかった事をまず先に言う事にしました。本記事が私がブログを通して最も言いたかった事です。

第3話から5話の中でも
私の世界観について簡単にご説明申し上げましたが、私は、数多くいる神々の中でも、究極に近い神、創造主ともいえる御存在は、人類を皆神仏の子、人類を世界樹の枝葉として繋がっている兄弟、という慈愛の眼差しで人類を見ておられる御存在であり、カルマと輪廻により、無限の成長機会と修正機会を人類に公平にお与えくださっている慈悲の御存在でもある、そう想定しております、というお話をさせて頂きましたが、私の見るその世界観において、最も人類にとって重要と思える基本的な考え方とは何かについて、本日はご説明申し上げます。

それは、その究極の神、神々の中でも、この地球における最高度の神格を持つ創造主ともいえる御存在、その究極神のお気持ちを、我々子である人類が推察をし、忖度をし、その方の作られたこの世界（この太陽系を含む大宇宙、数十億の人類一人一人、その数倍はいるであろう霊人たち存在、その他あらゆる自然と動植物）や、その方の作られた教育システム（転生輪廻やカルマなど人類の成長を促すプログラム）の全てを、肯定し、ありがたいと受け取り感謝し、その中で精一杯努力し、その方の期待に応えんとする事、それが重要だと考えております。我々人類は神仏の子、神仏の一部ではございますが、神仏そのものではございません。我々はその大きな存在の一部であり、また作られたものでもあります。ですから、親とも言える神仏の、その究極神の願いを忖度し、それに応え、ありがたいと受け取り、その親を素直に喜ばせようとする事、それが我々、作られた者達、神仏の子達である人類にとって最も重要な取るべき精神態度だと思えるのです。

もっと簡単に言えば、
我々人類にとって、親である究極神の期待に応えんとする気持ち、親である究極神を喜ばそうとする気持ち、親を悲しませないようにする気持ち、その気持ちをあらゆる思考や行動の出発点に持っているべき、と言う事が私の最も言いたいことです。

その観点から言いますと、
これまで、その方、創造主とも言える究極神が作られた大切な人類一人一人、その人類同士が愛し合い、尊重し合う事を、人類の親とも言える究極神は当然強く期待されているはずですし、また、その方を中心として、これまで過去数多くの天使達がこの世界に何度も派遣され、これまで数多くの文明や宗教が作られて来ましたが、それら神の創造の成果でもある様々な宗教を、その神仏の子達である人類が、それぞれの持つ多様性や個性を認めつつ、共存する事を強く望まれていると推察されるのです。逆に言えば、その方の子達である我々人類が、宗教の違い、文化の違い、肌の色の違い、言語の違いをもって、互いに疑い合い、憎しみ合い、殺し合う今の世界の現状は、我々の親である究極神を深く深く悲しませる事になっていると容易に推察されるのです。

ですから、その創造主とも言える究極神の子達である我々人類は、共通の親である究極の神の願いを忖度し、その方をこれ以上悲しませないように、もっと喜こんで頂くように、あらゆる宗教の違いや肌の色合い、言語の違いを乗り越え、多様性を認め合い、尊重し合って、互いに大切にし合うべきなのです。

ですから、
全ての思考と行動の元に、皆の親である究極神を喜ばせようとする事、悲しませ無いようにする事、その観点を中心に据え、我々人類の見ている神とは、特に世界宗教において語られる神とは、見ている角度と立ち位置も呼び名も違えど、実は皆同じ究極の神を見ているはずであり、その神は、人類を一人残さず愛してくださる神で、多様性と寛容性を愛する神であると信じ、様々な宗教の中に共通項が見い出す事が出来れば、それを喜び、違いが見出せれば、神の多様性と創造性を面白がリ、形式よりその背後にある神の真意に思いを馳せ、現代的生活に適合する形で、教えの変容を試み、神の喜ぶ姿を想像しながら、皆で歩み寄っていくこと、それが我々神仏の子達として人類の成すべき事であり、神の子である人類が、親である究極神に対する真の親孝行になるのだと思うのです。

自分達のメンツがどうであるかとか、そういった事では無く、親である究極の神が、いがみ合う我々人類を、どんな思いで見ておられるか、それを想像しながら、出来るだけその究極の神が悲しむ事がないような方向で努力する事、出来るだけその究極の神が喜んでいただく方向で努力をする事、それが究極神の子達である我々人類の責務だと思うのです。

今世紀の終わりには、もっと世界が融和しており、宗教の違いがもっとカジュアルに尊重される日が来ていることを願ってやみませんし、大きな鍵はご承知の通りイスラム世界となるはずで、その中でも、特に大きな人口比率を持つインドネシアやマレーシア等の東南アジアの国々、またはトルコなど比較的宗教的に緩やかな国々におてい大きな変革が起き、経済的にも、教育レベルでも、大きな飛躍を果たし、経済、教育、文化、スポーツで、西洋世界に互していく、そして次第にイスラム世界の近代化のリーダー、オピニオンリーダーと成って頂きたい、そう強く願うものです。その際のキーワードはアラーを悲しませるな、アラーは暴力を好まない、もっと文化的に強者となろう、と言う方向で頑張って頂きたいところです。　その変革の中でイスラム教の現在社会にマッチしない部分が大きく緩和され、原理主義、過激派的な勢力が、どんどん小さくなっていく、そうした流れの出現を期待したいですし、またその流れに我々日本も工場進出や教育交流、また、究極神の流れを引く日本発新宗教等を通して、うまく橋渡し役、ガイド役として貢献を果たせる事を願ってやみません。まずは、東南アジアの方が比較的やり易いかとは存じますが、まずは絵を描く人が必要ですね。できればトルコの混乱の収拾もロシアと組みながらうまく出来るといいですが、これも絵が描けないとだめですね。政府が問題です。

いずれにせよ、宗教的に融和された世界を実現し、究極神を笑顔にすべく、皆でこの世紀を希望の世紀に変えて行きたいものです。

この記事が皆さまにとって、何らかのプラスになれば幸いです。

The article #8. About this blog (1)

Hi, this is Kohanbito (Lake Man).

In this blog,
I would like to write mainly about life, religion, argument against anti-Japan opinions, but besides that, I also would like to write casually and freely about anything that I felt those were interesting such as any news, infrastructure of society, foods, convenience stores, cars, music, TVCM, fashion, beautiful things, international relationship, international politics and so on.

And since this is a personal blog, I would not show all the comments that I received but I will select those comments that I want to show or communicate.
Any articles that I felt it is necessary to translate into English, I will do so. But not all of them.

Also, you may feel inconvenient for my my poor grammatical mistakes, but please excuse me for that since I am still in the process of learning English.
