Gedatsu is a religious study whose ultimate aim is to awaken our inner spirituality through the daily practice and expression of gratitude.
Gedatsu Church is a historically Japanese-American church that welcomes everyone, regardless of ethnic, cultural and social backgrounds. The Gedatsu Church is based in California, with two church locations: Los Angeles Gedatsu Church and Gedatsu Spiritual Center in Sacramento. Gedatsu-kai — the founding Gedatsu church in Japan — operates branches throughout Japan, as well as a branch in Honolulu, Hawaii.
At the heart of the Gedatsu teaching is reverence to the Universal Life Force, or God, and respect toward ancestors. Gedatsu emphasizes the importance of recognizing the profound and immeasurable blessings we receive from five sources – country, parents, teachers, society and all living things – and expressing our gratitude for these blessings in our everyday life.
The Gedatsu Church welcomes people of all religious faiths and cultural background
