Tenrikyo Young Men\u02bcs Association Headquarters held the 24th International Cultural Seminar on the afternoon of April 26 at Moya 38, with the participation of 192 people.<\/p>\n

This seminar aims to heighten association members\u02bc awareness of the overseas mission, provide relevant information, and encourage directly supervised chapters to conduct more activities related to the overseas mission.<\/p>\n

After the opening remarks were delivered by Association Headquarters Overseas Section Head Shinichiro Yasumura, presentations were given by an association member who had just returned from Colombia as a member of the 10th Human Resource Overseas Dispatch Program and representatives from the Koriyama Chapter, who introduced their activities in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Tenrikyo Overseas Department Vice Head Noriaki Nagao then gave a lecture entitled \u201cDirect Tenri Young Men\u02bcs Energy to the World.\u201d He started by saying, \u201cThrough my 25-year dedication to Tenrikyo Europe Centre, I became convinced that the teachings of the path are truly amazing.\u201d He went on to touch on the teachings of a variety of religions including various Christian denominations and Islam as well as their current situations.<\/p>\n

After referring to past and recent conflicts between religions, Rev. Nagao noted: \u201cOyasama said, \u02bbAt any Shinto shrine or Buddhist temple, pay your respects and then chant Tenri-O-no-Mikoto.\u02bc That kind of attitude toward other religions is, I believe, the only way to bring harmony to interreligious relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

He then talked about his passion toward the overseas mission while sharing his own experience of serving at the Europe Centre. \u201cIt becomes increasingly important to obtain a perspective of the \u02bbworld mission,\u02bc\u201d said Rev. Nagao, adding: \u201cLet all of us Yoboku unite in conveying and spreading the teachings widely to people in the world. I am especially counting on young people like all of you here.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
