User:Veritas1/Truth of Origin with Koki annotations

Jump to: navigation, search

An personal attempt to source the Truth of Origin as told in Chapter 3 of The Doctrine of Tenrikyo from the Koki ("ancient record," "oral record," "divine record").

In the beginning, the world was a muddy ocean.[1] Tsukihi, God the Parent, finding this chaos unbearably tasteless, thought of creating human beings in order to see the Joyous Life and thus share in that joy.
