Listening to the music of this website I feel that divine winds are blowing and wiping away darkness of mind and cleaning space all over. Something tremendous has started to move before tomorrow’s Idaki Shin concert. Today Mr. Idaki Shin told me about the idea of self-reliance. What one has chosen to do in one’s life will be totally returned to oneself. His story was a big hope for me because I have long wished for the time when a person who lived an honest life should be fully rewarded. Yesterday I envisioned the internality of my life. I saw my life was living in the world far beyond Heaven, but it was overshadowed by my narrow consciousness. I greatly thanked something or somebody that showed me this vision as I came to understand the need to unify my consciousness with the core of my life, lest I damage my own life. The other idea I learned today was about courtesy. From childhood I was particular about checking my behavior in the light of courtesy. I believed that showing sincere courtesy to any person was one of the most essential things in human life. In one occasion a friend of mine told me that she would like to try an Idaki counseling course. I told her with determination that she should not have considered his counseling course as a matter of trial, because Mr. Idaki Shin was undertaking each course at the risk of his own life. Even though one might not understand its deep meaning, one should not pretend to be in the position of a judge before a serious researcher like Mr. Idaki Shin. In my case even a leaflet of an Idaki Shin concert is not a mere paper, but something that has a life. So I treat it with a lot of care. I do not deliver it to persons who do not show any interest. I became nervous when I saw somebody rolling the leaflet or spectators who were not listening attentively to Mr. Idaki Shin’s music . When I tell them to behave properly they look offended. So all I have done so far was to look into my internality, trying to correct my own shortcomings so that I may elevate my stage of life, and through my behavior whoever I encounter may feel the precious value of everything related to Mr. Idaki Shin. In a meeting, I consulted Mr. Idaki Shin about my nervousness when I saw my staff treating my art works as something ordinary. He taught me that a famous Japanese three string instrument Shamisen virtuoso Mr. Chikuzan once said that he had never let anybody touch his instrument because if somebody did so the instrument itself got angry and generated trouble. This was the same idea of courtesy as mine. I understood that there was no need for me to reproach myself as too sensitive to courtesy. Tomorrow’s concert will surely solve the root of many problems and eliminate factors that will damage the core of life. We can overcome our own problems by ourselves and every decision we make determines our future.
