Having held the Idaki Shin concert at Mitaka, which was truly beautiful, I read a message from Prof. Ghazi from Lebanon. I realized the unity of soul. Though he was living in a remote country we could mutually share the supreme experience with joy.
I was amazed at the performance which was far beyond even a divine work, as I was greatly moved and enjoyed the music. While I could envision an invisible world since childhood, I could see any sound as a figure. I loved going to a concert since childhood. However, to my sadness, I envisioned a negative state of performers on stage that bothered me, rather than enjoying the music, as they sounded like making a sigh in a very narrow world. When I traveled from Finland to Eritrea I had a chance to listen to the sound of a pipe organ in a church. However, combined with my sadness at having lost my parents, the music made me suffer, as it seemed to express pains and heavy sadness in the past. I fell down at an abyss, and saw darkness without any means to get out. Then at a church in the North Pole district in Norway, Master Idaki Shin played a pipe organ that was free from the past, and I envisioned a light coming from the future. My state of life was taken up all at once to an eternal world at heart. Like this my life was renewed. I could deepen understanding on the meaning of the music played by Master Idaki Shin. By realizing how to live on as a human being, my life was saved.
Today’s concert held at Mitaka was wonderful, and I was filled with joy and happiness at being alive. His music was indeed a message from Great Being, and the most indispensable thing for us to live on with joy and vigor heading for an unknown future. Everything necessary to human life was expressed; love, spirituality, soul, heart, eternity, truth, etc. I recalled that when I encountered Master Idaki Shin I told him that I wished to know eternity and he said that eternity was in the present. I felt like deeply understanding this. Then he said that he would play music improvisationally to express the eternity that was a series of moments after moments. I was surprised at this and then I started to understand the meaning of improvisation. To live an internally rich life was full of gratitude, impression, joy and love. Today I experienced a concert that was far beyond divine work and I encountered Great Being. Nothing was happier than this. My heart trembled, became extremely animated and filled with hope for a future. At the end of the concert I praised his by holding my hands up. I was grateful as I had an extremely precious experience.
