To those who are troubled - Words of light guiding life "Heart's Guideline" 【What's Happy Science】

(Last Update:

From El Cantare to you who are troubled.

In life, there are endless sources of worry such as friction in human relationships, unexpected illnesses, unsuccessful life plans, and loss of confidence...

However, our soul's parent is the God of love, "Lord El Cantare." He has shown us the guiding principles of life in over 200 poems called "Heart's Guideline."

Since its start in 2005, the book "Heart's Guideline" has continued to save countless hearts. Please find a book that suits you from this collection.

Written by Ryuho Okawa, "Heart's Guideline Selection" series

【 Column 】 The poem "Heart's Guideline" born from a miracle

There is an episode behind the birth of this poem. The author, President Okawa, suffered a heart attack in 2004, and his heart stopped contracting, causing blood flow to cease. The doctor diagnosed him as being in a state "like a dead person."

However, he achieved a miraculous recovery in just two weeks. Since then, he has continued to energetically write over 3,300 books.

The 108 poems of "Messages of Farewell" written during his illness are the beginning of "Heart's Guideline."

A To you who are shaken by relationships

ex I had a fight with my parents, friends, or partner... I know I have faults, but I can't be honest.

B To you who are troubled by feelings of inferiority and lack of confidence

ex I often find myself comparing with others. Negative self-talk keeps coming to mind.

C To you who are afraid of failure and anxious about the future

ex I often think of excuses in case I fail. I'm worried about making mistakes and can't make decisions quickly...

D To you who are suffering from illness

ex When work stress builds up, I tend to get sick. I don't have a clear illness, but I always feel unwell.

E To you who want to seek spiritual heights

ex I believe in the guidance of gods and Buddhas. I'm attracted to the word "enlightenment."

A To you who are shaken by relationships

心の指針Selection 7 憎しみを捨て、愛をとれ

If you truly want to protect yourself, stop 'self-centeredness' and 'self-pitying.'

By considering 'What if I think from the other person's perspective...' you can understand that you can forgive others and overcome conflicts.

心の指針Selection 5 心から愛していると…

Worshiping the Buddha-nature within others is 'love.'

If you can find the Buddha-like qualities in everyone, you can overcome jealousy and discord. This is a collection of poems that teaches you that.

📣 V O I C E

The phrase 'Worshiping the Buddha-nature' saved me. I repeatedly focused on it regarding my unpleasant boss, and finally improved our relationship.(30s, Male, Saitama Prefecture)

B To you who are troubled by feelings of inferiority and lack of confidence

心の指針Selection 6 自己信頼

Do not dwell on shadows. Focus only on the light.
A person's heart cannot think of two things at the same time.

(経典『心の指針Selection 6 自己信頼』より)

This collection of poems explains the principle of 'You cannot think of two things at the same time' and how to overcome a negative self-image.

C To you who are afraid of failure and anxious about the future

心の指針Selection 1 未来を開く鍵

Your heart attracts future things and phenomena. The heart is, so to speak, like a magnet.

心の指針Selection 3 人生は一冊の問題集

There are times when you feel you have become quite cautious, and that often means your soul is growing.

The heart has a magical power. These two books teach you the tricks.

【 Recommended Scriptures 】 'Unshakable Heart'

Thomas Edison, the 20th-century inventor who repeated numerous failures and ultimately achieved over 1,000 inventions, said, 'The greatest weakness is giving up. The most certain secret to success is to always try just one more time.' Failing in challenges is also a step towards success. True failure may be 'giving up on effort.'

D To you who are suffering from illness

心の指針Selection 2 病よ治れ

Seventy to eighty percent of illnesses are caused by mental conflicts and stress.

(経典『心の指針Selection 2 病よ治れ』より)

This collection of poems reveals the spiritual truth that 'the heart creates illness and can also cure it,' as well as the mindset necessary for health.

【 Recommended Scriptures 】 'Lifelong Active Life'

'Illness comes from the mind,' they say, but the heart has a stronger power than we think. Some people become ill when they have a dark self-image due to continuous sadness. Conversely, by painting a bright and cheerful self-image, it is also possible to create a healthy and energetic self. Why not incorporate the habit of positive imaging into your daily life?
