Sekai Shindōkyō (世界心道教, Sekai Shindōkyō) is a Japanese new religion derived from Tenrikyo. It was founded by Hide Aida (会田 ヒデ, Aida Hide) (1898–1973).[1] It is headquartered at 101 Suwa 2-chōme, Toyokawa, Aichi, Japan.[2]

History

Aida, a woman who had converted to Tenrikyo to 1923 and then to Honmichi in 1925, had a divine experience when on March 13, 1938, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (月読之命) and Kuni-Sazuchi-no-Mikoto (国狭土之命) possessed Aida Hide's body. On December 23, 1942, 10 more deities descended into Aida Hide's body. Sekai Shindōkyō was subsequently founded in 1944.[3]

In 1946, Aida Hide moved the religion's headquarters to Toyokawa. On July 6, 1948, Sekai Shindōkyō was officially incorporated under the Japan's post-war Religious Corporations Law. The main temple, founder's hall, and office were completed in 1967. Aida Hide died on May 24, 1973.[4]

Beliefs and practices

In the religion, the full name of God is "Heaven-Earth Moon-Sun Parent Water-Fire-Wind Great God [Kami-sama]" (天地月日御親水火風之大神様, Tenchi Tsukihi Mioya Sui-Hi-Fū no Ōkamisama).[4]

Gagaku music is played during ritual ceremonies.[5]
