Son of Buddhist Priest Rejects Place in Father's Footsteps; Embraces Christianity
Masanao Tanimoto, son of a Buddhist priest in Japan, until he was 23 years old, was in line to follow in his father’s footsteps as a Buddhist priest. He had memorized much of the Buddhist Bible, "The Okyo," and in high school he was known as “Osho San,” a Buddhist name for priest.
At age 23 he was invited by a school friend to hear a Japanese Christian evangelist. Moved by the A.B. from Pasadena College In 1958, majoring in religion.
Masanao was the third son in the family by whom the fulfillment of entering the Buddhist priesthood was forfeited. His oldest brother, first in line, drowned at the age of 29. The second son chose rather to go into business. This past summer Masanao’s younger brother, the last son in the family, also drowned. Now the priesthood will pass through Masanao’s only sister to the man she will marry.

At age 23 he was invited by a school friend to hear a Japanese Christian evangelist. Moved by the Gospel of love, he accepted Christ as his own Saviour.
Today Masanao, age 32, is a first-year student at Fuller Theological Seminary Studying for the B.D. degree in preparation for serving as a pastor in the Christian ministry. He received his face of my life, a disquiet began to set in.
"It was born both of reflection and experience. I saw that the fruit of the humanistic age of enlightenment was an age of materialism. Man's increasing belief in himself as God did not seem to be making him more Godlike. He was becoming more clever. But he had less and less of the sober, uplifting humility of one who has stood in the presence of God. Contemporary history seemed to indicate how dangerously near the savage state man may be even while he is most advanced technologically and materially."
Ultimately Dr. Lin arrived at the conviction that "humanity is not, and never has been, sufficient unto itself," and that "mankind cannot survive without religion."
Learns About Jesus
The next question he faced was: "Is there a satisfying religion for the modern, educated man?"
He first examined the great oriental religions, and found their answers inadequate. Then he turned to a study of "the awake-inspiring simplicity and beauty of the teachings of Jesus."
"I found that no one ever spoke like Jesus. He spoke of God the Father as one who knew him and was identified with him in fullness of knowledge and its astounding (to that God, as Jesus revealed) is so different from what had thought him to be. They totally new order of love and passion in Jesus' prayer free cross." Father forgive them they knew not what they do.
"I saw why men have tuned Jesus, not merely in respect in adoration. In him, the mind of love and gentleness and passion becomes incarnate.

Be Served Twice
Symbolizing Exodus
The Eastern Orthodox Church,
which is in the midst of its lenten
period will celebrate Easter on the
third of May. This comes about because Easter is not a calendar
holiday, but one that is regulated
by the moon. Thus, the Eastern
Orthodox Easter will coincide with
the Jewish Passover which was
celebrated at the time of Christ's
death almost 2000 years ago.
In addition to Easter Sunday
services, and Liturgy Sunday,
St. Luke's will hold service of Anointing on Wednesday of Holy Week.
All persons interested in witnessing
and partaking of these ancient
services are urged to attend.
For further information, call Michael Sabot, JE 7-7729.
Atonement Is CS Topic for
Sunday Sermon
The lesson-sermon on "Doctrine
of Atonement" to be heard in all
Christian Science churches Sunday,
examines the popular theology
regarding Jesus' mission as an example for mortals and finds its
import to be the expression of God’s love for man.
As keynoted in the opening selection from the Bible, Jesus said
to his questioners, "The works
that I do in my Father’s name,
they bear witness of me...I and
my Father are one...If I do not
the works my Father, believe
me not. But if I do,...believe
the works: that ye may know, and
believe, that the Father is in me,
and I in him."
That mortals need Jesus’ examample to show them their at-onement with God in the triumph of
Mind over sin, disease, and death,
is developed in the sermon. In
"Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy
states, "In divine Science, God
and the real man are inseparable
as divine Principle and idea..."
God is the Principle of man, and
man is the idea of God" (p. 476).
The golden text is from Mark,
"The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister,
and to give his life a ransom for many."
