As we progress toward the celebrating the 140th Anniversary of Oyasama, improving our understanding of the scriptures will lead us to a life as taught by Oyasama. Tenrikyo Mission Headquarters in America would like to invite to you to a study seminar on the Tenrikyo sacred scriptures. The sacred scriptures include the Ofudesaki, Mikagura-Uta, and Osashizu. The seminar will be held on August 30 – 31, 2025, at Tenrikyo Mission Headquarters in Los Angeles.
