God wishes for your happiness
Everyone has worries, whether it's about relationships, work, or illness.
If there is a "Lord God" who created humanity and looked upon our troubles, the answers would be clear.
Here is a collection of 7 advice books gifted to humanity by the Lord God "El Cantare".
This condenses profound life wisdom into 100 words, categorizing the themes of "how to achieve happiness and how to fail". There should be a word that can change your life. We will guide you through these books.
＼ A gift of words from God to modern people ／
The Lord God has appeared on Earth as President Ryuho Okawa. This collection of precious proverbs written by President Ryuho Okawa consists of these 7 books.
"El Cantare" means
the source of all life and the parent of souls. In Christianity, He is called the Heavenly Father, in Islam, Allah, in Confucianism, the Heavenly Emperor, and in Japan, He is known as Amenomioyagami. He has sent incarnations like Buddha and Hermes to guide humanity. In modern times, He is born as President Ryuho Okawa.
Two books of proverbs for cultivating character
When you feel jealousy, think about what the other person's virtues are.
（経典『人生への言葉』より）
People plan their lives in the afterlife before being born
Before being born on Earth, people choose their country, era, and parents, plan whom to marry and what job to do, and apply to the "office" in the spirit world to be born. The plan includes "challenges" necessary for the growth of their soul, such as improving relationships that failed in past lives.
Why look for the virtues of the person you are jealous of?
The person you feel jealousy towards is an ideal image that you want to become. Criticizing the person you are jealous of actually leads to a denial of that ideal image at the subconscious level.
Conversely, by affirming the other person's virtues with "that's great", you can bring yourself closer to that ideal image.
For those who want to cultivate their character and become masters of life
The frictions and conflicts that occur in life have spiritual meanings. The purpose of life is to cultivate and refine your character. Here are two books that will enrich the fruits of your soul training.
'Words for Life' - 100 words to become a more trusted person than now
In a world exposed to diverse values and information, this collection of proverbs contains 100 messages of truly important life wisdom. Each page has a short life lesson, and the words on a casually opened page resonate deeply in your heart. It is recommended as a hint for inspiration and a guide for reflection.
'Words that Build Character' - 100 pieces of wisdom to refine your views on love, life, the opposite sex, and money
The third installment of the collection of proverbs. It contains words that expand one's capacity as a person, including insights on the essence of love, desires regarding relationships and money, and admonitions against self-centered thinking. By exploring the deep meanings of each word and reflecting on your own life, a sense of reflection naturally arises, leading to humility.
Two books of proverbs to avoid becoming disliked
The diary in your heart is transcribed into the ledger of Yama.
（経典『地獄に堕ちないための言葉』より）
"Yokai" and "evil spirits" do exist
In the afterlife, both evil spirits and yokai exist. Evil spirits are the forms of greedy people, those with strong grudges, and those who have strayed from the path of humanity who have fallen into hell. On the other hand, yokai are beings that deceive people through trickery, including various types like tengu, rokurokubi, and kitsune.
To avoid the influence of yokai and evil spirits
All thoughts and actions are recorded in the soul, which separates heaven and hell after death. Moreover, through the "law of resonance", spirits with similar wavelengths to your heart are attracted, and you are influenced by them. Inspecting and correcting heart habits similar to those of yokai and evil spirits is the path to happiness.
For those who do not want to be disliked by others in this world or the next
People who look down on others or are self-centered tend to be disliked. Moreover, if there is a soul, they will continue to be disliked even after death. Here are two books that introduce a "cure" to correct such personality traits.
'Words to Avoid Falling into Hell' - Specific examples of who goes to which hell
A collection of proverbs that describes the aspects and admonitions of hell in 100 concise words. Those who lose self-control and live according to their desires will suffer such torment—. Even if it is not a crime, all actions that go against the truth of Buddhism, such as laziness, uncleanliness, lying, and being unfilial, as well as sins unknowingly committed by medical professionals and judges in their work, will be judged. It is too late to say "I didn't know" after death. This is an essential book for inspecting thoughts and actions.
'Words to Avoid Becoming a Yokai' - A book that reveals which heart habits connect to yokai
Tengu, nurarihyon, kappa, yamanba, rokurokubi, and other representative characteristics and essences of yokai that also reside in living humans are explained in 100 words. Various specific traits of yokai, such as "wanting to appear more capable than one is", "slacking off in one's own way", and "boasting about one's lineage" are introduced, and by reading them, one becomes aware that they too have some "yokai-like" qualities. Additionally, the unique Japanese beliefs in Inari and legends of dragon gods and kappa are also examined. Throughout the book, hidden issues in the Japanese view of religion and life and death are brought to light.
Two books of proverbs to break through work stagnation
When you push the water in a tub, it comes back to you, and when you try to pull it closer, it escapes.
（経典『仕事への言葉』より）
For those who have ability but are not recognized...
If you are troubled, thinking you should be smart and capable at work... this analogy of the tub of water is important. It expresses the truth that "what you give to others will come back to you".
For those who want wisdom in work
From new employees to executives, you can understand the essence of work that helps you survive in any social situation.
'Words for Work' - A collection of insights about work and the workplace that are not taught in school
Many people wish to do what they love and earn money happily. However, from the very first message of this book, such sweet thoughts are shattered. It reveals the essence of what work is, clearly pointing out what should and should not be done from the perspective of new employees, mid-level staff, management, and executives. Work is not merely a means to earn rewards; it is something that polishes and trains oneself, ultimately being essential for life. This should serve as the starting point for true success.
'Management Insights for the COVID Era' - 100 lessons for thriving in a harsh environment
This collection of proverbs can be seen as a cheer for those working in an uncertain economic environment affected by COVID and the Ukraine war. It returns to the fundamentals of what business, management, and leadership should be, filled with the message to "acquire the wisdom to survive in any social situation". It is during recession periods that a company's true strength is tested. Without blaming the times or the government, from small shops to large corporations, this one book can inspire confidence and hope for development and prosperity.
Proverbs for overcoming illness
Try saying to the ailing parts of your body, "Thank you for your hard work over the years."
（経典『病の時に読む言葉』より）
The mind creates both illness and health.
Just as humans have souls, body parts also have consciousness. When negative emotions accumulate, they can cause changes in the body. It is important to reduce bad feelings while expressing words of appreciation and care to the body.
To you who are feeling down due to illness
When you are sick, your heart tends to feel heavy. The 100 healing messages encourage and uplift that heart.
'Words to Read When Sick' - 100 joys of daily life that you can deeply understand precisely because you are ill.
This book was compiled in response to the need for a book that can be read repeatedly during times of suffering from illness. It is a collection of proverbs that brightens and uplifts a heavy heart. Each time you open the pages, you will receive various insights from the profound 100 messages that you never thought of when you were healthy. And before you know it, the time spent alone in bed transforms into an invaluable time to reflect on your life and regain your true self. It is a book like a bouquet of words that you will want to gift to someone who is ill.
Happiness depends on your heart
What creates happiness and unhappiness is the way you think and judge in the present moment. (Omitted) The books we publish actually teach this 'method of controlling the heart.'
