2:16 If you wonder about the point of the message I now instructed you, it is because I hurry for places where the truth is conveyed to become established in various regions and countries. *Note: As for these uchiwake basho (“places where [God’s truth is] conveyed”), according to the oral tradition, Oyasama taught that 31 of these places would be established in places within, middle, and outside, for a total of 93 places. Despite how incurable an illness is considered to be, if a person visits these uchiwake basho, he or she will be saved. One of these places will be remote, but it will not do to skip it, otherwise, complete salvation will not occur. Also, although one may receive salvation along the way of completing this course, one should not throw away their walking staff or wheelchair along the way, for this will make the salvation temporary; one may be cured for the moment but will return back to one’s former state. These objects instead ought to be stored at Jiba where they will be shown to inform others of these instances of marvelous salvation. |

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:50
II:16 Regarding the “places where God’s truth is conveyed” — this phrase being a translation of the term “uchiwake basho” — it is worth noting that Anecdotes Of Oyasama, no. 47, reports Oyasama as telling Rin Masui: “There is joy in the future. [The Masui] residence is to become an uchiwake-basho, a place of salvation.” While this term seems to have been variously interpreted, I prefer the non-technical interpretation that it means “facilities for spreading the teachings.” The word “uchi” here is a prefix. If we take the phrase “wake[ru] basho” to mean “places where people can be helped to understand,” its literal interpretation is “facilities for spreading the teachings."
