What is "higashikuni-kyo"

In April 1950 former Premier Prince Higashikuni, with the help of his advisor and Sōtō-sect priest Ryukai Obara, formed a new religious organization called "Higashikuni-kyo". The core of Higashikuni-Kyu was mastery of Buddhism and a shared message of world peace through benevolence, service, devotion, and eternal peace in human society. Religious practices would include pilgrimages consoling the spirits of the dead from World War II and offering respectful and mourning prayers at tombs of unknown soldiers in various countries around the world. A devout member would also call upon society to utilize atomic power for the benefit of mankind and development of culture rather than a weapon of mass destruction.
