O Meishu-sama,We have disobeyed you!Though you allowed us to serve in the work of JohreiThat belonged to God,We made it our own, human practice!--------------------How arrogant we were!We compared the power of JohreiSaying whose was strong and whose was weak.In short,We were measuring the power of God!--------------------O God,You channel Johrei to us without a moment’s rest –To all that exists within us!--------------------O Meishu-sama!After you were born anew,You showed us thatThe true essence of Johrei is sonen!--------------------How wonderful yet fearful it is!You, O God, exist in our breathing and sonen!--------------------Sonen is God.God is Light.Come, says Meishu-sama –He says, come to the Light!--------------------I tell you followers of Meishu-sama.The true Johrei is this:To surrender your sonen to GodAnd serve in His divine work!--------------------O gracious God!You forgive our sinsAnd purify us with Your love, always.For You wish to live with us in Your heaven!--------------------O Meishu-sama,Why did you leave us with the word purification?It is for us to trust in the true salvation of GodAnd respond to His profound grace!
