Hatred happens to be one of three forms of dust that is not explicitly identified as such in the Ofudesaki.
Explanations
There are various explanations of the dust of hatred according to various compilations (toki-wake) written by Tenrikyo followers.
Masaichi Moroi
One of the earliest of these compilations may be Masaichi Moroi’s, which describes hatred as follows:
- The dust of “hatred” includes entertaining a feeling of animosity toward innocent people out of an instinctive or temperamental aversion, feeling animosity toward someone who one thinks has committed an error or blunder, and hating someone because of his or her supposed rudeness or impertinence. All such feelings of hatred that arise from one’s own self-centeredness or hard-heartedness come under the dust called “hatred.”[1]
