Towards "Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered" Concert
Today, April 19th is an important day for us. We organize a concert each year, and this year, it was held at our NPO KOMA Guesthouse. The sound within the Guesthouse was truly from a world far beyond. Whenever I try to understand the meaning of the sound, I move farther from understanding, but when I simply place myself there, I am filled with bliss and come to experience love. Today as well, when I released all tension and let go even of the intention to understand, I found myself enveloped in a profound sense of comfort, as though I were dwelling in a world far beyond. The sound shone with light, and I experienced the happiness and joy of living in a world of light. The experience at the Guesthouse is truly exceptional. First, Master Idaki Shin attentively prepared Purification Coffee for us, using more than three times the usual amount of coffee beans. It was a taste that dissolved all limits and propelled me to leap. I have never tasted such exquisite coffee. After having received a finest purification, I listened to the concert. I deeply felt the world far beyond, and I clearly knew with my life that if I could live here, I could truly live. I am deeply grateful for a blissful life where I have an opportunity to share such an irreplaceable experience at the Guesthouse concert with all who gather.
After the concert, as I descended the mountain, the fresh greenery shone gently and beautifully, and simply gazing upon it enriched my heart and brought me happiness. A sense of joy arose over the opportunity to come to this place in such a beautiful season. I then arrived at the Koma Gallery Cafe located at the foot of Yasaka Pagoda. This place is the homeland of the soul. When I speak watched by Yasaka Pagoda, I feel the souls who once lived here listening intently. And when we recite poems to one another, I sense their presence through the air and wind. It was a wonderful evening. A life blessed with an abundant time enjoying poetry together with souls is truly a happy life, and once again today I felt deep gratitude. We also shared an authentic Italian meal, prepared by a chef who trained in Italy, and enjoyed a delightful time together. I feel that such experiences of sharing harmony and joy will surely transform space and spread waves of joy throughout the world. No matter the era, I wish for people to live together in harmony and for waves of joy to expand across the world, and here in Japan, I will continue striving to express my true self and to live by creating the future. Thank you very much.

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.
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.
