Today, at Koma Gallery Cafe in Yasaka, Kyoto, we held a gathering to talk together about filling all the seats for Master Idaki Shin’s concert at Kyoto Concert Hall on December 1st, as well as about “Keiko Koma’s Story.” We went out into the inner garden, and, embraced by the nation-building wind blowing from the Yasaka Pagoda, the participants and I spontaneously spoke about creating a path by expressing our very being that leads to our concerts. Being able to express our being and live that way is bliss. And if doing so can contribute to society, I am even more grateful. I understand that a way of living without contradiction is the way of living according to the workings of life. I am deeply grateful to Master Idaki Shin for creating, through the many concerts he has performed, the circumstances in which each person can finally express one’s being and live accordingly. The people who came to “Keiko Koma’s Story” felt like people I had encountered through the soul, and in their words, spoken through tears as they shared what was in their hearts, I saw the manifestation of their souls. We have entered a time when souls are emerging. I can only hope that as many people as possible will encounter Master Idaki Shin. Being able to hold these gatherings, while always watched over by the Yasaka Pagoda, gives me great courage and provides a fulfilling moment. I feel that the souls of nation-building are here with us. When our souls are together, we can move forward without fearing anything. Yesterday in Fukui, today in Kyoto, and tomorrow in Tokyo, I am very happy that there are so many people with whom I can meet. Tomorrow, in Tokyo, Master Idaki Shin’s Applied Course will be held. I am grateful for the blessing of being able to hear his words directly, and above all, I hope that we can all make use of our experiences and live in a way that contributes to the world. Thank you very much.
