[edit] Meaning of Tenri

Which source states that "Tenri" is "Divine King of Heavenly [Ten] Reason [Ri]"? Also check tengri for the name of god found in many Asian languages.

A quote from the Tenri-O-no-Mikoto article; Tenri-O-no-Mikoto is a 'name-label' in much the same way as is used for company names, or a brand names for products. Any attempt at a direct translation might mislead the translator. Sometimes this has been translated as "Lord of Divine Wisdom", in order to clarify the concept to westerners, though it tends to remain untranslated in English texts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.99.160.54 (talk) 07:46, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

For the following: "Some interpretations of her life and teaching suggest that, rather than having any divine inspiration, she took inspiration from an amalgam of Buddhism, Shinto and Japanese shamanism to create a religion that could satisfy the emotional needs of a 40-year-old Japanese woman in a troubled marriage. Hence she stated that God had the ungendered name "God the Parent", pronounced gender equality, and celebrated childbirth. It has been pointed out her lifestyle was like that of the Buddhist nun she had once wanted to become. Tenrikyo, however, insists that her teachings were totally original and her thinking uniquely inspired." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.71.227.222 (talk) 19:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
