Seicho-no-Ie

Seicho-no-Ie, sometimes rendered Seicho-no Iye (生長の家 seichō-no ie ), is a syncretic, monotheistic, New Thought religion/philosophy, one of the Shinshūkyō (or new religious movements) in Japan that have spread since the end of World War II. It emphasizes gratitude for nature, the family, ancestors and, above all, religious faith in one universal God, inheriting its basic characteristics from Buddhism, Christianity and Shintoism. Seicho-no-Ie is the world's largest New Thought group. The phrase means "House of Growth".
