Azerbaijan

In Azerbaijan I heard that it was a country of the sun and since I returned to Japan, I felt that my deepest wish to create a truly good human society was like an eternal fire that I had seen in Azerbaijan. In Japan I used to hide my sincere wishes depending on the circumstances, but now the dream I had borne since childhood should always be expressed. I was allowed to dedicate myself completely and seamlessly for realizing this. I was very excited. When I visited a place with a wonderful nature, often times I wondered why humankind did not keep on living a natural life among such a beautiful environment as this. However, people were born to suffer out of negative destiny and influences from past history that could never be solved by any personal endeavors nor a good natural environment. Also as a human being I regretted very much that many people in our modern society were usually made to think only about one’s own life and did not face situations all over the world, while a human life was naturally interconnected to everybody’s life on earth. We should acknowledge the nature of our life. As I came to visit many parts of the world, I realized that our activities in Japan were greatly influencing people in different countries as the richness of one’s internality and the truth of humanity were common to everybody on earth. Now that we are guided to countries in the Caucasus, where conflicts and wars are perpetuated, I realize that without being conscious my life has been sharing their people’s sadness and pains. Therefore to deeply understand the reality and the truth in history would help us to get over the unsolved problems in this region. Owing to the reactions of my life I acknowledged that indifferent to any special distances, one person’s positive action in one country would help others living in a remote place to overcome their problems at the same time. The fire lit in our heart would never be extinguished. I was grateful to the precious nature of human life.
