[[abstract]] 崇教真光(Sukyo Mahikari)是傳自日本，由教主岡田良一(Yoshikazu Okada)於1959年2月27日所成立的教派，屬於新興宗教之一。崇教真光的信仰以Su（主）神為信仰中心，認為世界歷史的演進是依循Su（主）神的御經綸而推進。有鑑於普世大眾對新興宗教存有的歧見及誤解，本研究主要整理信徒在信仰崇教真光教派時外顯的宗教禮儀，以及遵行宗教禮儀對信仰的影響。本研究採用參與觀察法，實際參與崇教真光教派的信仰儀式，再透過深度訪談，透過個別信徒（神組手）的訪談，以瞭解他們遵行崇教真光宗教禮儀的態度及對於信仰的影響，以做為普世大眾認識崇教真光教派的途徑。本研究整理崇教真光信仰之宗教禮儀主要為四個層面，分別為祭典、組織、活動及奉祀，藉由遵行相關禮儀而獲得宗教經驗並累積宗教情感。[[abstract]] Sukyo Mahikari is a religious group originating from Japan and established by the founder Yoshikazu Okada on February 27, 1959.
