As the second day of the IDAKI Counseling Course finished, the vast and heavy veil that had been cast over us was lifted, and a new morning has dawned. Listening to messages carried by the wind, I sensed that the direction of the wind had shifted. Through the message, I came to know that a new world had opened. As I drove along the tree-lined avenue near Jindaiji Temple, the green leaves shone brilliantly, leaping into my eyes, into my heart, and the radiance of their green was shining within me. The color of the tree trunks also gleamed, and I was deeply moved, to the point that my soul trembled with the exquisitely harmonious beauty created by the contrast in color between the trunks and the green leaves. I am struck with admiration for the beauty of life in nature. As human beings are united with the life of nature, I was once again taught today by the green of the trees, the flowers, and the wind that we too can live beautifully.
Today, a gift arrived from the Syrian Ambassador. As I unwrapped the parcel, adorned in a garment as beautiful as a peony, a floral fragrance arose, and my heart leapt with delight. Inside appeared a traditional Syrian mosaic wooden box—something I dearly love. Opening it, I found, to my great joy, that it contained baklava, one of my favorite sweets. I love baklava so much that whenever I visited Lebanon, it would always be delivered to my hotel as a gift. I even once went so far as to visit a baklava factory and seriously considered establishing one myself. The vivid sense of vitality and aroma of that time returned to me. The indescribable excitement I felt walking through the streets of Syria, where the air was filled with the fragrance of creativity, also revived. To destroy a beautiful land is not something human beings do. The exquisite taste of the baklava paired perfectly with the coffee roasted by Master Idaki Shin, melting in the mouth with extraordinary deliciousness. We can tell from the taste that the hearts of those who create such food are beautiful. This is also evident in their beautiful traditional crafts. Simply touching them enriches the heart, enveloping me in the fragrance of beautiful Syria. It was a truly joyful moment. I thought of exhibiting this remarkable traditional craft in my gallery located in the basement of our headquarters, so that many people might share this experience. To encounter a beautiful culture is to encounter a beautiful soul. Today, I felt a joyful sign that as we connect and communicate in our souls, we can create rich cultures and bring forth a new world.
Tomorrow, we will hold “A Day of Encounter.” Everything is moving toward the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered” to be held on May 13th. A historic moment will surely arrive.
Hello.
Today, April 19, we held Master Idaki Shin’s concert at our guesthouse. We also gathered afterward at Koma Gallery Cafe at Yasaka. Today marks the day Master Idaki Shin’s wife bore the burdens of human existence and became light. My firm will is to create a world where beautiful lives remain beautiful as they live, and to change a world where such lives cannot survive. On April 19, I made this vow in my heart, and I have lived ever since with the determination to carry it through no matter what. Today again, I felt a renewed resolve, as though beginning afresh. Now, the time is ripening. Much guidance is being poured forth, and souls are being revived. Today, I feel that now is the time for all of us to move together.
The day after tomorrow, there will be a concert by Master Idaki Shin at ROHM Theatre Kyoto. His concert is the quickest path to peace, the path to fundamental resolution. The more people who gather, the greater the impact it will have on the world. That is why I devote myself with all my strength to bringing his concerts to fruition, believing this to be the surest way to create a beautiful society. I sincerely hope you will come to the concert. Thank you very much.

Improvisation Poem
25th Apr. 2026 / in Tokyo
Blue sky
Deep forest
Light is born,
A path of light opens,
leading to the beyond.
All around, everything is enfolded in light,
and life of light is born.
Radiant human life,
one with all life,
living in radiance.

"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.
Special message
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.
