Tenrikyo (; Tenrikyō, lit. Teaching of Divine Reason), is a
panentheist religion of
Japanese origin. Due to various similarities and some historical categorizations, some consider it to be a form of Sect
Shinto - though the beliefs and practices are markedly different. It was founded by a woman,
Miki Nakayama, who underwent revelatory experiences from
1838 onwards. After this date she is referred to as
Oyasama (literally Honored Mother) by followers. Tenrikyo is estimated to have about 2 million followers world-wide with 1.5 million of those in Japan.

Sect founded in 1838 by Japanese housewife Miki Nakagama (1798-1887), through whom "God the Parent" allegedly appeared in order to save humankind. Faith healing is one of its main foci. Tenri means "divine reason" and is also definable as "the order of creation." (See "Divine Healing from Japan.")
