"On March 23rd 1981, Ryuho Okawa achieved Great Enlightenment and awakened to his mission to bring happiness to all humanity. Master Okawa’s teachings are based on leading a life according to the Fourfold Path of Love, Wisdom, Self-Reflection, and Progress. His teachings combine Eastern and Western philosophies with a universal outlook that transcends religious, cultural, ethnic and traditional boundaries. The teachings incorporate all truths discovered by enlightened prophets and messiahs of past history and applying their teachings for today’s world. Thus, in order to convey his message and the Truth to the public he established Happy Science in 1986." "We have faith in Lord El Cantare, Eternal Buddha, who has been guiding humanity throughout eternity. In the past, the consciousness of El Cantare was incarnated as Shakyamuni Buddha (Gautama Siddhartha) in India, and as Hermes in Greece. Now, His core consciousness has descended on earth as Master Ryuho Okawa and preaches the Truth."

According to the Japan Times, "Before he founded the Happy Science (Kofuku no Kagaku) religion in 1986 [Okawa] wrote books in which he channeled the spirits of Muhammad, Christ, Buddha, Confucius and Mozart. Conveniently, if improbably speaking in Japanese, the prophets had much the same message: Japan is the world’s greatest power and should ditch its Constitution, rearm and lead the world."
