Towards "Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered" Concert

Today’s message

9th Dec. 2025 / in Tokyo

Today, the person who sends us olive oil from Lebanon visited. He produces olive oil in southern Lebanon, an area that has been bombed by the Israeli military. Although the factory was destroyed by fire, the machine used for pressing olives survived alone, while all the other equipment was lost. This year, the oil arrived not in bottles but in cans. Its aroma is remarkably rich, fresh, and full-bodied, and I was deeply moved by how luxurious it is—simply pouring it over a salad makes the meal feel exquisitely special. I pay my deepest respect to his unwavering will and strength to continue his work despite such harsh circumstances, and I am sincerely grateful to be able to enjoy this oil here in Japan. Listening to his stories, I was heartbroken to learn how severe the situation in Lebanon has become. Lebanon is the home of my soul, where I encountered my late father’s spirit and began a new life living with the eternal soul within me, free from sinking into sorrow. Hearing that the country now faces an existential crisis fills me with prayers that it will never be lost. How I should live for the betterment of the entire world is something I always ask and reflect upon, and through Master Idaki Shin’s lectures and concerts I am shown this direction and nourished in mind and body so that I may continue to live. I feel deeply grateful that we are so fortunate. This experience awakens in me a renewed resolve to embody a way of life that truly serves the world as soon as possible. The day after tomorrow, on the 11th, Master Idaki Shin’s piano concert will be held at ROHM Theatre Kyoto. It is the very core of life. Understanding deeply that this is what must be prioritized above all else, I express and convey this to many people, praying that it reaches them. There is no experience comparable to being physically present in that space, and I earnestly hope that, no matter the circumstances, people will overcome all obstacles and come to the concert hall and place themselves in that environment. I sincerely look forward to welcoming you. Thank you.

Hello.
I had been truly looking forward to today's concert by Master Idaki Shin at Mitaka Public Hall. Ever since the “Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered,” I hadn’t understood my own state of mind, and living in that unclear state felt painful. Today, I simply wanted to understand—yet I also knew very well that it wasn’t about understanding or not understanding. In the concert message, there was the phrase “a new form of love.” At the end of the concert, I understood—or rather, accept it as it was. What is new is not something to be grasped in terms of understanding or not. I strongly felt that life is a continuous process of living honestly, true to one’s feelings. When I saw the message for the second half of the concert, I realized that what I had experienced in the first part was exactly that: the sense of “Gen” within life pushing forth “love”—it was mentioned in Master Idaki Shin’s message for the first half. My heart trembled as I sensed “Gen” in the depths of life. I experienced it spreading throughout my entire body—or rather, my inner self. It suddenly became one with the space, then burst outward. Reading the message for the second half, I had a profound realization: “Ah, so that’s it is—this is the new form of love.” I directly experienced that if “Gen” exists deep within life, we are connected—we become one. Today, in the deepest place of life, I felt love, ”Gen”, and tears. I experienced that if we live from that place, we are all connected. This is a clue; and the rest is new—always unknown, always entering the uncharted. I realized the most essential thing is to cherish what is truly important and live honestly, true to oneself. I also understood deeply how important it is to stay true to one’s feelings and to live as life itself is—with a quiet and wholesome mind. I sincerely hope this quietness expands throughout the world. The people from Ukraine said that their situation was harsh, that everyone felt dark and didn’t even want to go outside. Yet they said they were glad they had come to today’s concert. I feel there must be many others in similar situations. If this quietness spreads throughout the world, I believe people everywhere will feel calmer, wholesome, and at ease. Thank you very much.

Improvisation Poem

13th Dec. 2025 / in Kyoto

Like the brilliance of myriad stars shining in the night sky,
A radiant space unfolds.
The light of life encounters,
A new light is born,
Worlds of light are born—one after another.
Meeting in an instant,
Being born in an instant,
Darkness is enfolded in light, in a moment,
And begins to move.
When the far beyond appears,
Light reveals itself as light.
A brilliantly shining life,
Gleams as the center of the vast universe.

"Kaze-no-Tayori"

5th Dec. 2025

Receiving the wind from afar,
Moving toward the future—toward the future.
Many guidances, as one.
Birds sing
To convey that they are together.
Life as one.
Love.
I move forward.

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.
