Sekai Shindokyo (世界心道教, Sekai Shindōkyō) is a Japanese new religion derived from Tenrikyo. It was founded by Hide Aida (会田ヒデ, Aida Hide) (1898–1973).^[1] It is headquartered at 101 Suwa 2-chōme, Toyokawa, Aichi, Japan.^[2]

History

Aida, a woman who had converted to Tenrikyo to 1923 and then to Honmichi in 1925, had a divine experience when on March 13, 1938, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (月読之命) and Kuni-Sazuchi-no-Mikoto (国狭土之命) possessed Aida Hide's body. On December 23, 1942, 10 more deities descended into Aida Hide's body. Sekai Shindokyo was subsequently founded in 1944.^[3]
