The Keiko Koma circle
Just before we were hit by the northeast disaster, I had started the Keiko Koma circle as I had been advised to do something for opening up our future, so we were urgently in need to take action. While I had established NPO KOMA and organized its first international concert in Ethiopia, the birthplace of humankind and at that time the poorest country in the world, we were asked by the government drastically to tackle the problems of poverty and hunger by changing people’s internality as a human society was artificially made by man. Now that in Japan we were hit by the disaster, I realized the necessity for us to realize the nature of humankind in order to rebuild our society and create new business activities and social systems true to principles of life. Changes in our mind and internality were the cause of any outer system, so there would be no hope for the future if people tried to make changes from outside. I knew this both from my personal experiences and through business activities. Our Ethiopia concert ended with huge success and I would never forget the great joy I felt when it was reported that people were extremely happy, as everybody’s internality was filled with love. When a person’s internality was filled with love and joy, one would surely realize the essential nature of a human being. Once people realized this one would naturally endeavor to open up a truly good human era oneself. In this respect I was grateful to today’s gathering.
