Today was a warm day in Tokyo with spring-like sunshine coming through and a spring wind blowing. While I was driving along the avenue leading to Jindai Botanical Garden, a brilliantly shining sight jumped into my eyes. The tree leaves were radiant as they all stretched toward the sun. I was moved by their beautiful existence. The scenery taught me that we, humans, are beautiful too when we live toward the light. I learned that even in the darkest times, finding light and living toward it to build a world of light is what life is and what a human being is. Many things occur daily and wars continue in the world, so there is not a single day when I feel clear. While it feels like I’m in a tunnel of darkness, wanting to break free from this tunnel somehow, I think about things and express my innermost desires that emerge from within every day. Lately, I’ve been able to go beyond the tunnel and feel my internality connected with a world far away. No matter how extensive the darkness is, it is free and boundless “here.” By living here, I can live toward the light. And my mind calms down, and by regaining my composure, I can move things forward firmly. Now, each day is a practice of living “here.” While I’ve had the habit of putting what I expressed into action immediately, these days, I devote myself to doing it more than ever. When we express and execute things as if to discern right from wrong, unnecessary things are wiped away, which leads to building a new world. Changing the current situation is what is most important and essential now. When we express our deepest demands, we receive abundant guidance, and a new world is generated. The situation will change naturally. And the world will change. Now, determined to create a new world and change this stagnant situation, I’m working in earnest on every single thing I’m engaged in. I’m grateful that when you are serious, you can naturally find answers and start moving. I’m thankful for many opportunities to realize that when you engage in anything earnestly, you will always reach answers. Tomorrow is a new day with a new atmosphere. From moment to moment, by living and expressing my feelings and my innermost demands that emerge, I work on creating a new situation tomorrow once again. Every day, we express our deepest demands, which are newly born to create a new world. I envision that on this path, a beautiful world without wars and sacrifice of human life will unfold. The day after tomorrow, we will hold “A Day of Encounters” at Mitaka City Public Hall. This event was shown to me from the future. I’m grateful to see that it will surely open up the future, and having hope, I will engage in it earnestly. It is an encounter with your life, an encounter with the truth, an encounter with your true self, an encounter with your soul, and an encounter with IDAKI. It is a day of encounters that open your life. I sincerely look forward to seeing you. Thank you very much.
