A beginning
As I played Mr. Idaki Shin’s CD entitled Koguryo from the very first note, I realized its history and all the background situation that had given birth to a new dynasty blessed with glorious light. At today’s Idaki Shin concert entitled “Kokorozashi, my determined heart”, he played music recorded at his concert held in Hiroshima and Tokyo in 1985. My life was nursed by light coming from a world far beyond the universe as I listened to each note, my heart was greatly moved to shed tears out of deep gratitude and impressions. I realized that without his music we would never been liberated from the sadness in human history. At the same time I envisioned a country that was full of light of glory where every person’s life was brilliantly shining with a smiling vigorous face. One who was living in a glorious world manifested Great Being. I sincerely wished to create a world like this. Once one was born as a human being, one should live an authentic life unified with Great Being and express it in one’s own life. As long as one was living together with Great Being, one could always realize the happiness to be alive. Last night I envisioned within my mind a light-vision full of an aroma of snow and a young king who was brilliantly shining under fresh sun early in the morning. This was the vision of a king whom I met at his first castle city built on a planed land. This was a beginning of a new country full of glorious light. I anticipated this and today I held our concerts, the Legends of Koguryo Rediscovered and Kokorozashi concert. I have experienced what I had envisioned before in my mind and realized a new beginning. Thank you very much.
