From the scenery of dogwood flower shining brilliantly in the darkness of night and wet with rain, I felt hope for envisioning that there is a future in always living with a beautiful heart at all times. Today, we had a special lunch gathering at Konar in Musashiseki. With my fellows who became even closer than my relatives, we talked about the meaning of this era and about the meaning of our lives encountering Master Idaki Shin. I feel fortunate for having a delicious lunch and talking about our lives, however, the world is in a state of crisis, I believe that to live a life to change the world gives meaning to life. If we could overcome this crisis, a new way of living that had never appeared in the past human history would be realized. Now is an era where each one of us is able to live a life to change the world. I am wishing from the bottom of my heart to perceive the meaning of life and to live, creating a peaceful world with everyone.
Today, I shed tears when we were talking about what I had experienced in Mongolia. I was in trouble, having accidentally throwing away an embarkation card. While I was at a loss because I did not have any Mongolian currency, a person I had met the day before suddenly showed up at the airport and handed me Mongolian money, understanding the situation I was in, although we could not communicate. I did not have his contact information, so I desperately tried to tell him in Japanese that I would not be able to pay him back. He handed me the money, knowing that we would never have a chance to meet again. His eyes told me everything. Even now when I remember that moment, I feel truly thankful and tears well up in my eyes. The warmth of people is the origin that embraces humans to live. I was helped by a person who I was never able to meet again, so I deeply engraved in my heart that as a human, I should express my appreciation by creating a good world for us to live. The subject of what I have experienced in Mongolia was brought up by coincidence, but from this story, I feel that I was taught to move on towards the world, so I will start expressing myself and begin our activities directed to the world wherever I am. Thank you very much.
