Beliefs

Enlightenment

Dōuists believe that one can achieve enlightenment by meditating and living a good life. The idea of enlightenment started with the first Dōuist, Miyasaki Tama. She was the first one to achieve enlightenment and many have followed her in her footsteps. They are known as the Enlightened and can be compared with saints. However, people do not worship them. They are seen as the highest examples of how to live life and become truly good.
