Okada Jikan was the nom de plume of Okada Mokichi, called Meishu-sama by followers. Okada struggled to overcome poverty and become a successful businessman, only to meet with deep suffering, both physically and in business. Turning to faith, he experienced divine revelations, based on which he went on to learn and to point out the mistakes of our present civilization and specifically show how we can construct a paradise on earth. We have selected and translated a few of Meishu-sama's teachings, in essay and poem form, to present here.
