My dear friends and fellow people
14th May 2008
At the opening of Idaki Shin’s piano concert tonight, he delivered a message saying “At first there was light and/or language. Before that there was the ultimate source. And in the beginning there was the great being that generated the source. And the universe is now renewed into a new one, that responds to every creature and gives birth to a new language and authentic love.” This is exactly the world that I have waited for so long. In the first part of the concert, I was captured by a personal concern, and was not ready to understand his message, However as I tried hard to concentrate on the piano’s sound and as the concert went marvelously, eventually I came to realize that my concern was nothing but a tiny part of my life before the vast universal nature that was expressed by Idaki Shin. A wisdom of mind was born. It seemed to teach me that I have to look at the totality of things and then think about its fragments.
I remembered that Idaki Shin once said that one’s internality was broader than the universe. The concert tonight seemed to express this. I came to understand that one’s consciousness could be as vast as one’s heart, and go beyond the limit of the universe. But when one’s consciousness is not open to this fact, one’s heart becomes alienated, and, strangely enough, one does not see one’s original potentiality, and lives a very limited life.
In the second part of the concert, I felt as if I was carried away to an unknown cosmos by the tremendous sound waves of Idaki Shin. I knew no other word but to call this the experience of authentic love. I realized that the sadness of Ryuka,
the mother of king Tomei of Koguryo, had now changed itself to light, invited by the world far beyond heaven. How she wishes to recover her love to her separated son and how she has waited for so long. And as I have expressed in my concert Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered, held the day before yesterday, the deepest wishes of human beings are now going to be fulfilled. The world of love and the source of everything can be found all over the world. Love shall be responded to by love putting an end to the sad history of human kind. The eternal glory of Koguryo that I experienced in my concert the day before yesterday has now become eternal love.
The sadness of mother Ryuka was resurrected. I am determined to organize our concert as many times as possible to contribute to realizing the peaceful future of the world and diffusing globally the energy of love.
