After the Messages of Mother Earth concert in Kyoto
The Great Being appeared before us
coming from the world far beyond Heaven.
The true spring in human history has come.
Unified with the Great Being, we will create
a completely new world alien to darkness.
It is a world of eternity.
What a wonderful spring has come to our world!
Its breeze comes from far beyond Heaven
and blows through my life.
I rejoiced to see how
my soul becomes heavenly light
and joins the breeze towards the glorious future
that lies wide open before us.
On the last day of my exhibition in Kyoto, many people came to see my works and the day’s visitors counted over 800 by around 2:00 pm. At the end of the event, I played a tune called Mt. Gojo from the CD, Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered, and after listening to it everybody there applauded loudly. The music seemed to echo the souls of Koguryo’s people and sounded as if it was screaming, out of great joy. Some people were even shedding tears. I was deeply impressed by the visitors’ reaction and the wonderful ending to my four days’ exhibition.
That same night, we held the Messages of Mother Earth concert at the same place, and Idaki Shin expressed marvelously the original nature of numerous souls buried in the land of Kyoto, and I envisaged how they were resurrected, and started to change themselves into the light of life. Something deep at my heart was greatly moved by listening to his piano improvisation. While Japan is in need of changes before ever increasing difficulties, a big change made internally within oneself is always the key to change the entire society. I see the greatest hope for our future in Japan, now that the souls of people in the past are also with us.
I had indeed the best of times in Kyoto, and was extremely happy to have shared precious experiences everyday with many friends of mine, and I wanted to thank from the bottom of my heart everybody who made my event possible in Kyoto.
