Confidence and practice
The organization aims to promote peace and harmony in society through the practice of spiritual purification methods and the practice of universal principles, such as gratitude, acceptance, and humility in all aspects of life.
Bright Art of
Sukyo Mahikari introduces a practice to purify one's spiritual aspect as a way to achieve happiness. Radiating Light from the palm of the hand is a method of spiritual purification that cleanses the soul, mind, and body. It is said to help pave the way to solve all problems. By purifying the spiritual aspect with the Light and leading lives based on the principles of sustainability, one can revive their spirituality and achieve improved health, harmony and prosperity.
Light Transmission is referred to as "the art of True Light." Through the palm of the hand, a person (the giver) radiates Light to another (recipient), enabling them to purify and revitalize their spirit, mind, and body.
Radiating Light can be practiced by anyone who is very desirable, by attending the main course Sukyo Mahikari.
Light Sessions usually begin with givers and recipients who offer short prayers. Furthermore, the giver of Light reads a prayer that is believed to have a strong power to purify ("Ama Amoru Norigoto Prayer"). The giver then holds his hand approximately 30 cm (12 inches) from the recipient's body. The Light Session usually lasts from 10 to 50 minutes.
Sukyo Mahikari does not advocate the use of True Light art as a substitute for medical or therapeutic treatment. Founder of Mahikari, Mr. Kotama Okada, teaches that the purpose of True Light art is not to cure disease or illness, but to serve the community, bring happiness to the people, and attain divine nature.
The True Art of Light is said to purify the spiritual world of one's home and society, making them more peaceful and harmonious. Thus, members are encouraged to radiate Light to anything, anywhere, and anytime. Thus, Light not only radiates to humans, but also to animals, food, buildings, and the natural environment.
Universal principle
Sukyo Mahikari teaches the concept of a universal principle which, when practiced with Light, enables one to more quickly achieve spiritual and personal growth.
Mahyo Mahikari encourages people to incorporate divine principles in their daily lives by practicing virtues such as altruistic love, gratitude, humility and acceptance of God's will. The members also practice praying, cultivating positive and cheerful attitudes, promoting harmony, charity and helping others, and serving God.
The founder of Kotama Okada believes that if people live up to universal principles, they will cultivate their spirituality, and naturally come to use science and technology integrated with an understanding of spirituality, to find solutions to the urgent problems facing mankind.
