Descending from Mount Hiei, where snow was dancing in the air, I made my way down to Kyoto and toward the land of Yasaka. With the feeling of visiting the souls of my ancestors, I climbed Yumemi-zaka slope, heading for Yasaka Pagoda. Standing before the pagoda, I sensed souls of Koguryo soaring into the heavens, dancing freely in an unbound wind. Although I knew that the souls were unrestricted, the sight struck me sharply, and in that instant, I reflected on the condition of living in this world. I have lived with constant awareness that life in this world means carrying many entanglements and continually being mindful of others. After meeting Master Idaki Shin and experiencing liberation from fate, I came to live together with those with whom I can truly share life, expressing my innermost wishes, connecting with one another, and this became a deep joy. No matter what difficulties arise, when I experience Master Idaki Shin’s lectures and concerts, I can soar high at once. What lies before me ceases to be a problem, and as if a frame has fallen away, I recover an unrestricted body and mind, from which new vitality for living is born. The strength to overcome anything is already within me. At Yasaka Pagoda, I encountered again after a long time the very image of how I wish to live. It was the radiance of souls of Koguryo, dancing in the free wind. I saw that by expressing a soul one meets another soul and the path of the soul is formed. And this is the path I will walk on from here on. When I gaze at Yasaka Pagoda from the second floor of the Koma Gallery Café, a stillness that seems to connect to ancient times deepens, and I find myself dwelling in a world beyond time. It is a moment I always cherish. Today as well, encountering this deep stillness again after a long while, I felt connected to the quiet and profound atmosphere of Huanren, where Wunu Mountain, the birthplace of Koguryo, stands. The source is Wunu Mountain Fortress. It is a land of infinite depth and stillness, connected to the far beyond. Even while here, I feel joy in knowing that I am connected to Wunu Mountain. I experienced with my life that to live by expressing the soul is the way of living from now on, and gazing at the moon shining above Yasaka Pagoda, I descended Yumemi-zaka and left Kyoto behind. That I am always taught and guided along the path toward the realization of world peace, which I have wished for since childhood, and that I can walk this path, fills me with joy and gratitude. I am grateful for a life in which I can do what I most wish to do. Thank you very much.
