The Institute for Research in Human Happiness is a sociaty of people researching the principles of human happiness. From the "private happiness" of each individual to the "public happiness" of the whole society and the whole world-this serve as a slogan for those gathered at the Institute. They hold that there are four principles of happiness: "love", "knowledge", "reflection" and "development". They have established a clear over-view of the universe. The world we are living in is not simply divided into the physical world and the spiritual world, but is involved in a multi-dimensional and high-dimensional universe. They are determined to initiate a salvation project throughout the world with Japan as its center.

In this paper I reviewed the studies of rumor published in Japan and abroad. The conditions of occurrence and spread of rumor, transformation of content of rumor, and the life cycle of rumor were considered. Rumor occurs when people are set in ambiguous situation. Psychologists assert that rumor is the projection of the motive or the sentiment of the people. Sociologists assent that rumor is the product of collective behavior, the interpretation of the situation by the people. But it is necessary to integrate these two approachs. It is often said that rumor is false information. But, if it is false, why people believe and communicate it to others? I think rumor is not false information, but necessary one. It presents reality which is different from those presented by the mass media. Rumor is unverified or unofficial information. When people need information and if they are not given official information, rumor occurs. And it also occurs when people don't believe official information. Rumor is the oldest medium of the mankind and it can not be rooted out as long as people talk with each other.

Shinnyoen is a new religion both for priests and laymen.The canon of the order is the Great Nirvana Sutra. Shinjo Ito, the Founder of Shinnyoen, together with his late wife, Mrs. Tomoji Ito, perfected the easy and modern interpretation of this Sutra. Shinnyoen has a unique way of training called "Sesshin Training." Today about 700 Reinoshas (spiritual leaders) are playing important roles. Through Sesshin Training, the cause of suffering can be known to a follower. Most evil cause which results in suffering can be eliminated by prcticing the Teaching. Thus, Buddha Nature innately held by all people can be developed.
