Road of Koma
On the way back to Tokyo from Kyoto, after we drove over a mountain, the landscape and climate were changed to familiar ones for us. Eventually I tried to recall a vision of ancient times. A sign board of Mt. Koma captured my eyes and heart. Lake Suwa showed a light-scape as it looked mysterious and dyed in red at the sunset. I recalled my parents at the view of mountains in Yamanashi prefecture. Winds blowing in the Musashino area had the same atmosphere as my father. Like Yasaka in Kyoto, Musashino was well known as an historic place of my ancestors, Koguryo people. Naturally I thought over the meanings of my life: since childhood I used to question them and wished to encounter an eternal world where we would live on all together without separation. I realized that I could have encountered Mr. Idaki Shin representing all my ancestors as he had clarified the true history of Koguryo and saved my life. Each new discovery resurrected more souls of my ancestors so that day by day I would become stronger as they would start living unified with my life. My life was not a mere personal one and I clearly realized that I had a mission to do unified with the world of souls. Sometimes I visited a new place and felt that I had been there in ancient times as it happened in Kanazawa. I looked at the sea and to my great surprise I was greatly moved at heart. Human life was indeed full of mysterious things and I realized the precious nature of our life. I became motivated to learn deeper about human life as I had acknowledged the eternal nature of human souls through the contact with my ancestor’s souls. This was a path for realizing global peace and great hope for our future. As I discovered traces of Koguryo’s people at various places in Japan, I became more conscious about the nature of my life that was unified with numerous souls of my ancestors and my mission to realize an authentic peace in the world.
