A gathering

Today I held a gathering at a Mejiro garden known for a traditional Japanese garden and guest house. Participants naturally behaved themselves in a traditional manner. I felt calmness at the depth of my heart. Since I rented another home in Kyoto I came to care more about other people’s eyes. Even when I was alone at home I shut a door or walked corridors silently, which has made a drastic change in my life both internally and in my daily habits. I realized that our life should remain true to our rich experiences provided through Idaki activities. Both our lives and the human era were transforming themselves. When I sat down before the Koma calligraphy at the Skyrocket center, I envisioned that surrounding nature was dividing our world and showing a direction for realizing a new world for every living creature. Because outer phenomena came later than changes made in the internality, I acknowledged the necessity to take actions as soon as I felt something at the core of my life.
