Cherry blossoms were in full bloom in Tokyo. Passing through a street lined with cherry trees, I headed from Tokyo to Sendai. I came to Sendai to engage in our activities for three days, starting today, to prepare for Master Idaki Shin’s piano concert, to be held at Sendai Denryoku Hall on April 19th. Today, I held a “soul” poetry gathering at Sendai Koma-ya. A peaceful world will be created when each person recognizes and expresses the meaning of being born and the meaning of existing. I’m grateful for a blessing: the way each person lives realizes a peaceful world. I am always hopeful that when everyone engages in building peace, a peaceful world will be achieved in no time. Because our internal environment becomes the external environment, when each person is liberated inside to live autonomously, forces that control or dominate humans naturally lose their power. That every person living one’s life builds a wonderful world gives me hope to live. I have lived with the desire to overturn a society where people with good sensitivity and children are sacrificed. I will head toward realizing it by expressing my innermost demand to create a society where a beautiful life can be lived beautifully. Thank you very much.
