for this past four days

For the past four days I heve been at Tenri city, Nara prefecture, where Tenrikyo Headquarters is located. I was born in the family whose religious faith is Tenrikyo. As a matter of fact,in my child days I had been feeling shameful that my family was devoted to the Tenrikyo religion because it seemed to me to be a strange and bizarre cult. But my thought changed at the age of 19 or 20, when I was taught the way or the principle of the religion at the headqurters in the summer vacation. Until then, I had never been taught them fully enough.I realy thought it is very profound and I came to be a positive believer of it. From Saturday through today Monday "Tenrikyo three-day course" seminar was held and I attended it. The courses consist of three parts and this one is part one. From across the country about 90 people of men and women gathere there.For training course, basically there is a so-called "Shuyouka course(修養科）," whose period is three months. But there is a difficulty that people can attend the three month training course for ordinary salaried workers or such persons.Handling such a situation,the three-day course called " Mikka Koushu-kai(三日講習会）" has been established. Really good experience for me. I have got a lot of energy. During the seminar sometimes I realy had to repress my tears. Several times tears came to be full in my eyes and my trembling voices almost came to be heard because the story I heard deeply moved me. At a time I made the teeth on my under jaw set with my fingers not to move,otherwise my mouth muscle would move and I would burst into cry. I feel my heart refreshed. For these circumstances I did not place my articles in this blog. I will resume tommorow.
