May I extend my warmest Season’s Greetings to all of you.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your devoted efforts in working for single-hearted salvation during the concluding year of our pre-anniversary activities.
On January 26 this year, we will finally observe the 140th Anniversary of Oyasama. Let each of us, therefore, fully carry out our pre-anniversary activities throughout the remainder of this “three years, one thousand days” period, so that we will be filled with joy on that day.
Furthermore, let us ensure that the spiritual growth we have achieved in striving to respond to Oyasama’s parental love leads to an even more enriched life of faith ahead.
May I ask for your continued efforts in the New Year.
New Year’s Day 2026 (Tenrikyo 189)
