It was a calm and quiet day today. As I listened with a clear heart to the voice of the wind, I could feel its gentle breeze and hear its sound, a sound that can only be heard with a peaceful heart, and my heart was gently embraced by light. As the wind is born like ripples, space is purified and new space is created. When moving in this way, I could see and experience just how much space changes, even with such gentle movements, and it made me feel very happy.
At Tokyo Komaya, we held an event today as well. It is an event called “Today’s Talk and the Gathering to Express in Poetry, the True Demands of Life that Arise Toward Filling All Seats for the Concert.” Closing my eyes and listening to everyone's poems with my heart is a truly enriching time. Although I brew it myself, the coffee roasted by Master Idaki Shin comes out exquisitely, and when enjoyed with delicious sweets, it provides a truly rich and blissful moment. I was able to express the scenery I saw in poetry, and I felt that this would change the world and that my life would open up greatly. I am truly grateful that because such a place exists, I was able to compose a poem that allowed me to make a great leap forward. I saw the existence of Master Idaki Shin. The fact that he exists in this world, and that he was born into this world before that, made it clear to me that his light is eternal. I was born inheriting the soul of Koguryo, and through my own life, I have experienced also that even though the nation has fallen, its soul continues to live on forever. I was profoundly delighted and filled with great hope to realize that the light of life that is born is eternal, and to see clearly that as long as this light exists, the world will surely become peaceful. I feel a growing strength within me to continue expressing my true self, manifesting my being, and keep working forward. Thank you very much.
