24th Nov. 2022 / in Kyoto

At morning in Tokyo, I was delighted when I opened the window and saw beautiful Mt. Fuji. Mt. Fuji and the mountain ranges were covered with a layer of snow like winter-makeup, and I was moved to tears by their beauty and divinity. Since childhood, I have lived my life comforted and encouraged by seeing Mt. Fuji. Even now, I am given courage and hope to live. I am full of gratitude for having life and for being alive in this way. I hope from the bottom of my heart to be a human being who lives honestly as a human and who lives in unity with the life of nature. It is now the season when I find myself driving on road surfaces covered with fallen leaves. When the wind blows, dry leaves dance in space. In a poem I wrote in high school, I wrote “It is the season for the dance of falling leaves to flourish.” Looking at that scene, I thought about the meaning of life, but I could not find the answer, not even a clue, but just emptiness. I truly could not have dreamt that I would be able to live my life as I live it now. I am living the life of my dreams. Human life is opened up by encounters. My life was saved and I am alive now since I encountered Master Idaki Shin, who searched and found answers to what a human being is. I have been in search of the meaning of being born, the meaning of life, the meaning of existence and the path to realizing peace in the world... I have gotten all the answers. I am living with a desire to tell the world about this experience. Tomorrow I will be giving a lecture in Kyoto. I am always filled with gratitude in my heart for the happiness of being able to talk about life lived true to the demands of my life. Thank you very much.
