MAKOTO èª
The key to solving every problem — in the world, in the nation, and in the life of the
individual — lies in the single word: Makoto¹.
The poverty of politics arises from a poverty of Makoto.
The shortage of material goods stems from a shortage of Makoto.
The decay of morality is due to the absence of Makoto.
The disruption of order emerges where Makoto is lacking.
Every loathsome problem has its root in the deficiency of Makoto.
Religion, scholarship, and art alike are but empty shells if sincerity does not stand at
their core.
Ah! Makoto it is! Makoto it is!
O humanity, the key to solving your problems is none other than Makoto alone.

¹ Makoto: Divine Love shown by humans in thoughts, words and actions. Makoto is a very important concept in our organization. Meishu-sama‘s initial teaching is about Makoto. The dictionary definition of Makoto is “sincerity”, but its true meaning is much more than that. Makoto also means to make a sincere effort by the will of God.

OUR OBJECTIVE
Shin Kenko Kyokai’s objective is to create Heaven on Earth via the Natural Healing of Jorei, Natural Farming, and the High Vibrational Resonance of Inspired Art.
​
Shin Kenko Kyokai follows the teachings of its organizational founder, Meishu-Sama.
​
For over two decades since the 1930s, Meishu-Sama guided countless people into a healthy lifestyle that brought them newfound happiness. Our natural healing method, Jorei, helps us to cleanse both body and soul for the betterment of our physical and spiritual health. Our Natural Farming practice optimizes the soil’s power without the use of any pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and other agrochemicals to grow healthy, life-sustaining produce. We also stress the important role of every art form, since beauty purifies and uplifts. Our objective, after all, is to create a world brimming with truth, virtue, and beauty. This begins with each individual’s good health and inner contentment.
​
Put simply, the following three components are our practice’s vital trio of activities to eradicate sickness, poverty and conflict from our lives and to establish heaven here on earth:
