Today, a concert by Master Idaki Shin was held in Kyoto. Before the concert, we open the Legendary Cafe of Koguryo at Komaya in Gosho-minami. Coffee brewed there has an exceptionally refined flavor. It becomes such that you can sense the purity of the water. Each time I look at the inner state of those who come and express it in poetry, I learn what it means for a human being to live, and it gives me profound realization and discovery. From the state of each person, I see that human life is constantly changing and growing. I understand deeply that to know this through one’s own life is what it truly means to be human, and so I wish once again to sense my own life, to express what is being born in this very moment, and to live anew every day. The message title of the long-awaited Kyoto concert was “The Gods.” It was the world I wished to experience most. From early childhood, I have carried a strong notion of God, and if I were to describe my life in a single phrase, it would be “a life together with God.” I live with the desire to know the true God. In today’s concert, I experienced that the gods are everything. I clearly understood that the gods are always present, and that the gods dwell in all things. I also deeply felt that countless guidance is constantly being offered to us, and I could clearly see how, in everyday life, I so often drive these offers away. I found myself lowering my head. I vowed in my heart that I would end such foolish and wasteful ways of living today. Life is always receiving countless guidance. Recently, I have begun to live with the intention of always following these offers. I call them revelations, and now I am putting into practice a life in which I receive these revelations and live in accordance with them. Today’s concert was filled, moment by moment, with such offers. Inside and outside were united, and within, I felt the gods through stillness, depth, love, and everything else. With my entire being, I understood that this experience is the very core of living, and once again, my way of living from here on was set today. The beauty of the piano’s sound was, quite simply, perfect. Because I perceive sound as form, I saw exquisitely beautiful and balanced shapes, and that beauty continues to live in my heart even now. I experienced that by living with a beautiful heart, one can create a place where the gods are present. It is a place and a world where everyone’s life is free from harm and I can live richly shining brilliantly by never losing myself, by receiving guidance, and by living beautifully inside, I can head toward the realization of a peaceful world, which I sincerely wish for. The opportunity to experience this filled my heart with deep gratitude. I am grateful to have shared the experience with many people. So we may next be able to share it with many more people, I will continue to move forward by receiving guidance. Thank you very much.
