The Konkōkyō Kyōten (Japanese: 金光教教典; lit. "Konkokyo Book of Teachings") is the main religious scripture of Konkokyo, a Shinto-derived Japanese religion founded in 1859 by Konkō Daijin (1814–1883). Konkōkyō Kyōten is a compilation of various writings composed by Konkō Daijin and his disciples during the second half of the 19th century.[1]

Contents

The Konkōkyō Kyōten (金光教教典)[2] is Konkokyo's primary scripture. It consists of three parts, of which the third part, Kyōten Gorikai (金光大神御理解集, "Teachings of Konko Daijin"), is the largest one.[3][4]
