26th Oct. 2025 / in Tokyo

Today, at Tokyo Komaya, we held a screening of the Tanzania “Torch of Peace” concert. While we were embraced by the warmth of pure wood, the resonance between the sound and the wood made the entire space feel as though it was enveloped in sound. There is no greater sense of peace and vitality than this. Tears of deep emotion welled up from within my life, and I was filled with profound gratitude for being able to experience something so moving. What an incredibly blessed life this is. To be living such a life now feels like a dream, something I could never have imagined in the painful days of my childhood. I often find myself saying, “A dream beyond all dreams, a life I could not even have dreamt of,” as I feel every day that such a life has unfolded. The concert in Tanzania was a magnificent and powerful experience beyond compare. When I hear the guitar express “the first cry of a newborn baby,” even now, I feel the divine path coursing through my entire being. To awaken is to experience the divine path flowing through my life, becoming united with space itself, united with far beyond heaven. The sound of the piano resounded through the whole space with overwhelming power, vibrating through my body, opening my inner state, and reaching the deepest depths within. Today felt like a journey into the innermost depth of my inner self. Seeing the Olduvai Gorge—the birthplace of humankind—projected on the screen moved me deeply, for it truly felt like a journey back to the very source. After such deep emotion, the taste of coffee was beyond words—utterly exquisite. Later, we also held “Today’s Talk and Dialogue,” where we all shared what our lives demand and expressed what we want to do, while moving toward realization at the same time. It was an irreplaceable time spent together. In this present moment, I see clearly that when something is expressed, it comes into being. There has never been a time with such great opportunity. I'd be grateful if we could all express, act, and move forward each day toward making our dreams a reality. Thank you.
