The death anniversary of my mother—I attended Master Idaki Shin’s lecture “Gender” at our Tohoku Center. In his world-changing lecture, my past was cleared, and a new life began. I rejoiced to find that my late mother was delighted. I was grateful. One of our staff brought to my house a big watermelon as if to carry a baby. When I had two months to live, all I could swallow was watermelon. My mother would go out to buy the fruit, even though the supermarket shelved only two, priced at 10,000 yen (USD100) each, during the off-season. Although it was all I could eat, I could maintain my life up to my encounter with Master Idaki Shin. My life was saved. Every summer he sent me watermelons produced in his home prefecture, Aomori. I remember sharing them with my parents. A Byobusan watermelon grown in Aomori brings back many memories. I took the fruit over to the Tohoku Center and had it together with the staff members. I spent a time of happiness, talking about stories from childhood and things I have realized in life. It was like my childhood years when we used to share food with many people. And today was even a time of talking about the truth of our precious lives. Feeling that my late mother too was happy, I was grateful that her soul is together with me. Viewing Komagatake mountain again today, I felt the presence of souls. I was led to this land of Morioka, where my life’s mysteries have begun to unravel; I feel a wondrous tie to this place. And I look forward to the truth that will be revealed. At the “Gender” lecture, Master Idaki Shin talked about God that has been manifested, an existence that used to be sealed. Listening to him, I felt hopeful that my true life would begin to realize a peaceful world. I am sincerely thankful for my precious experiences.
