Otamagushi
Otamagushi is a financial offering given before attending a Sampai. The word means ‘pure human heart (or intentions) aligned with the heart of God.’ An alternate meaning is ‘a pure human soul and God’s Spirit joined as one.’ The intent behind Otamagushi is to give back to God a portion of what has been given to us. One whose heart is full of gratitude comes to realize that all things are gifts from God.
