On the day of the Idaki Shin concert in Kitakami city, an earthquake happened at a nearby area in Iwate prefecture, while one of the central themes of keeping on holding our concert was to nourish inner sensitivities for life to live on under any circumstances, I felt grateful for all the persistent activities by him. With deep gratitude at heart I drove to the concert hall. By his message I realized that Japan was still an active volcanic country and our history should be seen from this feature. Since childhood I screamed out of pain that I could not live on in this actual society and I realized the historic reason for this. I was filled with joy of being liberated from negative historic influences over our life. As I tuned myself to his music I realized that everything we knew in the past had a limitation and did not have a future. Even what we believed was “Love” was nothing but a framework that oppressed our life. Finally I experienced the unity of my life with the vast universe and my life was full of joy and hope to live on. I realized a “New Love”. This was the core of everything for us to live on. Living in a country that was seamlessly hit by natural disaster, I was grateful to Master Idaki Shin who has been keeping on sending precious messages. Thank you very much.
