It today’s poem salon.
Live a life true to Idaki.
Today I held a gathering called Poem Salon for Life, and I displayed the internal scenery of light that I envisioned.
It was in the middle of May, and rain-washed tree leaves echoed vividly to my heart.
A pure gentle breeze visited me. I rejoiced to read my short and lovely poems in this atmosphere full of life. While I have witnessed many times that an internal vision of life is always the reason for what actually happens later, I am always telling people around me that the key to realize world peace is within each person. When one’s internality is shining true to one’s original nature, outer circumstances start changing..
Darkness was wiped away, and the path before us is surely leading towards global peace. The election of the president of Lebanon was successfully held yesterday without obstacles after 19 months of political deadlock. I took a deep breath. I am confident that it is time for us to take a series of actions.
Also at the salon meeting I expressed my experience at Kurama mountain in the northern part of Kyoto. At first I found myself at the center of the holy spot of the temple. However I was distracted by things around me. Then Mr.Idaki Shin designated a place next to it. I moved slightly, put my foot on it, and all of a sudden all the concerns of life were carried away, and I felt I was standing indeed at the center of the whole universe. Through this experience I came to realize that one has to be completely true to the world of heavenly light, because even a tiny concern in one’s life surely invites the world of darkness. Troublesome incidents will never stop to happen in one’s life, but one can always overcome them by living a life unified with the core of universe to manifest one’s pure internality and eternal light of life; what I call as the world of Idaki has come.
