The Konkokyo Kyoten is Konkokyo's scripture, compiled from three parts: the Kyoten Konko Daijin Oboegaki, the founder Kawate Bunjiro's own memoirs; the Kyoten Oshirase-goto Oboe-cho, a record of the revelations he received; and the Kyoten Gorikai, a three volume collection of his teachings. Together they preserve the religion's founding events and its central teaching in the founder's own recorded words rather than in a later systematized creed.

Mode of TransmissionSourced to the subject's own account
The Kyoten was not written by the founder as a single continuous text but assembled and formally authorised by Konkokyo's own headquarters well after his 1883 death, gathering his memoirs, the record of his revelations and his recorded teachings into one scripture. Its three part structure reflects that editorial compilation rather than a book Kawate Bunjiro set out to write in that shape himself. 1
