The God of Love, Lord El Cantare, who guides you to happiness【What’s Happy Science】
（Last Update: ）
God loves you and continues to watch over you.
Everyone may feel anxiety at some point in life due to various worries such as relationships, work, or illness.
However, no matter how severe the adversity we face, God does not abandon you and extends a hand of salvation.
This name of God is called 'El Cantare'.
Lord El Cantare is the Creator who created humanity and is the 'God of Love' who loves and nurtures all people.
Please realize that this God is watching over you.
There, true happiness can be found.
Lord El Cantare has saved people's hearts by establishing various religions.
Throughout history, Lord El Cantare has sent prophets to various eras and regions, establishing religions suited to those peoples and saving their hearts.
His teachings teach the preciousness of life, the importance of loving one another, and cultivate morality.
For example, the 'compassion' of Buddhism, the 'love for neighbors' of Christianity, and the 'benevolence' of Confucianism are such teachings.
Both life and existence are gifts from God.
Why was I born into this world?—Everyone has probably pondered such questions at least once.
The answer to that question should be found by knowing the love of the Lord God El Cantare introduced here.
The 'soul' which is eternal life.
Long ago, Lord El Cantare created our human souls and granted them 'eternal life'. Therefore, no matter how much people may be at odds with each other, all people are equally children of God and not strangers.
For this reason, God wishes for humanity to 'love one another'.
The mechanism of reincarnation that allows us to start life anew.
God has not only given us 'eternal life'. He created a system for us to be reborn on Earth, giving us the opportunity to start life anew as many times as we wish.
By being reborn on Earth multiple times, changing eras, countries, races, and genders, we are able to accumulate new experiences.
The method of living happily taught by the parent of our souls.
As the parent of our souls, Lord El Cantare teaches us guidelines for living happily.
This is the 'pursuit of a righteous heart' introduced below, and its specific practice method is the 'Four Right Paths'.
By aligning our hearts with this guideline, we can live happily in this world and return to heaven after death.
Guideline for living happily (1) Pursue a righteous heart.
Humans are not their bodies; the soul that resides within, the 'heart', is the essence. However, while living on Earth, we tend to be under the illusion that 'the body is myself'.
When we lose sight of our true spiritual self and live selfishly, we will fall into hell after death.
Therefore, it is important to cultivate a good heart daily in light of the teachings of God and Buddha and to correct the bad heart that goes against the heart of God and Buddha through 'the pursuit of a righteous heart'.
Guideline for living happily (2) Practice the four principles.
The specific practical guideline for pursuing a righteous heart is the 'Four Right Paths' of 'Love, Wisdom, Reflection, and Development'. This is based on 'The Laws of Happiness' (by Ryuho Okawa).
Love
Give love from yourself.
Rather than seeking love from others, giving love to others from yourself leads to true happiness.
Wisdom
Learn the truth of the Buddha's teachings and gain wisdom.
By learning about spiritual knowledge, the meaning of life, and solutions to problems, we acquire wisdom through the practice of truth.
Reflection
Clear the clouds of the heart.
By removing the 'clouds of the heart' in light of the teachings of God and Buddha, we regain our 'true self' as children of God and Buddha.
Development
Make this world a utopia.
Not only for our own happiness but also aiming for the improvement and development of individuals and society, we strive for the realization of a happy society.
'Love', 'Wisdom', 'Reflection', 'Development'—a grand revelation of the 'heart's teachings' to escape from all worries and grasp true happiness.
Are you troubled by wanting to be loved and recognized?
Are you lamenting your lack of intelligence?
Are you burdened with worries about work and relationships?
If you want to stop being unhappy, this book is for you.
My conversion experience.
I will introduce the testimony of someone who was disappointed with Christianity but found the happiness of the soul through the teachings of Ryuho Okawa.
I became happy by realizing spiritual truths and the Lord's love—Mr. S (Italy, 50s, teacher)
In Italy, where I live, about 80% of people believe in Catholic Christianity.
However, many people superficially believe in heaven and hell, but in reality, they do not think they will be judged after death and are only interested in enjoying money and life, leading me to think, 'Heaven and hell are perhaps human-made imaginations.'
Later, while searching for answers by studying Buddhism, one day I accidentally learned about 'Happy Science' on social media, and I was introduced to the scriptures and films of Ryuho Okawa by a staff member of Happy Science, and I began to learn the teachings of Lord El Cantare.
And when I read the holy scripture 'The Law of the Sun' , it clearly explained that 'humans reincarnate for spiritual evolution' and that 'heaven and hell are divided by the state of the heart after death', which convinced me that 'heaven and hell truly exist.'
Also, having studied Buddhism, I felt a strong resonance with the Buddhist teaching of 'suppressing desires and training the heart', and I was moved, thinking, 'This is exactly the teaching I was seeking!' and became a believer.
Since realizing that the Lord God wishes to fill us with happiness, I have begun to feel the Lord's love daily. I will also convey the Lord's teachings so that many people can become happy.
At Happy Science, many people have overcome issues such as illness, business difficulties, and relationship problems by having a spiritual worldview. Please take a look at various testimonials.
The teachings of Lord El Cantare continue to save the souls of people around the world.
Our 'parent of souls', Lord El Cantare, was born in modern times as Ryuho Okawa and has preached numerous teachings to guide humanity to happiness. The teachings of President Okawa have spread to countries around the world, and people are being saved across the globe, transcending differences in countries, races, and languages.
