Among the many principles that Shakyamuni discovered
and put forth was the important concept of the
interconnection of all things. Mr. Kubo
and Mrs. Kotani understood that Shakyamuni’s concepts
are based on reality and human psychology, and are
unrelated to a ‘Creator’ or ‘His Messenger’. These ideas
therefore do not interfere with religious faith, and
consequently, they can be utilized by everyone,
independent of, or in concert with, established
religious practice. Reiyukai asserts that, as any
scientific principle can be discovered or rediscovered
and utilized by any scientist, the principles discovered
by Shakyamuni also can be rediscovered and experienced
by anyone, and can be utilized for the betterment of
one’s own daily process of living. |
