There are three primary books as the "Sangenten" that Tenrikyo references. Two of the books were written by the founder, Miki Nakayama:

  • Ofudesaki (17 parts)
  • Mikagura-uta (5 parts)

The third scripture, the Osashizu, is a compilation of all of God's oral revelations delivered through Oyasama and Izo Iburi which is actually a total of 7 large volumes and nearly 20 thousand revelations.

There are also three supporting scriptures known as Jungenten, which are the fundamental explanations of the teachings.

  • The Doctrine of Tenrikyo
  • The Life of Oyasama
  • Anecdotes of Oyasama
