Towards "Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered" Concert

Today’s message

18th May. 2026 / in Tokyo
Today, at the Vienna Hall of the Fuchu-no-Mori Arts Theater, Master Idaki Shin played a piano and pipe organ concert. I always love visiting Fuchu-no-Mori Park outside the venue and listening to the voices of trees. Today, I perceived a scene filled with energy rising and soaring all at once, and the message was also “soaring high.” I felt joyful at the thought that I, too, could soar through the concert, and it made me look forward to it even more. At the “Food and Health Seminar” given by Katsuaki Saito before the concert, I reflected deeply on the workings of life itself, and my heart overflowed with gratitude for the life that tirelessly continues to work so that I may keep living.
During the concert, it felt as though I had been taken to outer space. For a moment, I no longer knew where I was or what I was doing, and when I became aware, the concert had finished. It felt as if I had been in another dimension, another space entirely. In the sensation of being in cosmic space, the coverings, enclosures, frameworks that bound life itself and restricted, hardened states all dissolved and disappeared. I felt with my life that human beings are meant to live freely, without restraint or control. The deeply implanted sense in this constructed society that tells us “we must do things this way” melted away, and I came to understand what it means for “the body to move.” I realized that "moving” is to move as life itself is functioning. To drive oneself relentlessly through the mind is a very painful way to live. From today’s experience, I intend to move according to how life itself is lived. As was expressed in the concert message, I came to understand that for each individual to regain a body becomes resistance against war and resistance against a distorted society in which human life cannot truly live. Knowing this prompts me to live properly and fills me with strength to live. Furthermore, when I announced the concert message, I felt my body become aligned as I spoke the sounds of words while sensing the pulse of my own body. I am filled with joy and gratitude to have experienced that when words are precise and are expressed accurately through the voice, one can regain the body and regain oneself. Today’s concert brought about a profound transformation within me. The way of living that has long gone against life itself has been healed, and I look forward to recovering each day and becoming increasingly vibrant. I am sincerely grateful for the concerts that provide me with irreplaceable experiences. I will devote myself to making it possible for many people to share in these experiences together. Thank you very much.

Hello.
On May 13, I began to live a new life in a new era, and today we held the “Poetry Gathering in May” at Komaya. I felt how wonderful it would if, in this new life, I could compose poems in words born from my own being. From last night through today, I suffered greatly, weighed down by harsh negative energy. But then I remembered: there was the poetry gathering. I felt hope that if I could truly express myself in words, I would be able to overcome it, and so I came here. As I listened to everyone’s poems, many different scenes came to mind, and I was able to spend a truly rich and joyful time. We are all living a life in which these scenes will one day become reality, and I feel deeply grateful, thinking what a wonderful life this is. At the same time, my heart truly aches over the grave state of the world, with so much sorrow, suffering, and bloodshed. Thinking about what I can do while I am here in Japan, I arrived once again today at the realization that holding poetry gatherings like this, and sharing many opportunities to enrich the heart with many people, can become a great power. Today, we were able to hold this poetry gathering, come together, recite our own poems, and listen to one another. I hope this energy may spread throughout the world. Thank you very much.

Improvisation Poem

19th May. 2026 / in Tokyo

Light pouring from beyond
flows without end.
Receiving it, body and heart shine
and move freely.
The beginning.
Nothing covers life.
Nothing surrounds it.
Living in the vast universe,
we live as radiant life.

"Kaze-no-Tayori"  

5th Apr. 2026

Birds are singing
Soaring high into far, far beyond
The wind blows
The wind is gentle
Merging with the voices of the birds
Here and now
Moment by moment
The brilliance of living life
Birds are singing
All becomes one
The wind is blowing
Now, now—this moment
The wind blows

Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered Concert – October 23rd, 2017 Kyoto

An infinitely transparent and beautiful world,
A single shining blue star,
An eternal soul.
The 19th king of Koguryo, Gwanggaeto the Great,
Was born under a light of Heaven,
In a world of war.
He continued to fight, and continued fighting.
He became a young king,
Leading the vanguard ahead.
He was challenged to risk his life in the middle of enemies.
The enemies, admiring the beauty of the young king,
Left without fighting.
He met desirable people to live together with,
Who became people of Koguryo, so we hear.
A wind was blowing in the land of the Gwanggaeto the Great, an infinity, an eternity, a clear mind.
He lived and kept his purest soul.
He entered into the enemy with an intention not to sacrifice anyone else's life.
He continued to fight.
There was a limit in this world, and
There was a limit in Heaven, he realized.
Soon or later far beyond Heaven,
An infinite world would be opened. Believing so,
He lived and fought together with Heaven. 
Why could a human not live without a fight?
Why could a human kill a precious life?
He questioned the infinite world.
Soon or later, far beyond Heaven,
A time in which a light of the origin would appear,
A time in which many souls would accomplish their wish,
While knowing that there was a limit in Heaven,
A sorrow through his life with Heaven,
was engraved on the ground.
A time in which the land of sorrow would turn into light.
He continued to wish even after death, continued working,
He continued to make a time which would open far beyond Heaven
An appearance of a light of the origin,
An infinite world, opened far beyond Heaven.
All souls would wake up, revive, and gather.
The Beginning of a new era of new human beings.

Love transcending space-time

Brilliantly and beautifully shining internality manifests the authentic state of our life full of love.
In my teens, I suffered from many diseases almost in every part of my body and experienced life and death crises several times. In such a critical moment I shed tears with slight hope. And after a dozen of years of investigations, I realized the source of hope I had embraced as an eternal bearing for opening up a future. By properly acknowledging the internal conditions of my body, I discovered that communion with another person’s life happened within my body and not only mine but another person’s physical or mental pains and a state of illness can be nursed gradually or rapidly owing to the nature of human life that could meet others in a much broader and unknown dimensional space. I did not need to operate consciously nor wish to make this process happen: towards unity with nature, everything happened just naturally and repeatedly. Now my piano improvisations express this marvelous encounter with people at a very deep level of human life so that each of you may realize an authentic state of love and realize that your life is indeed shining on to eternity in this vast universal space.
