Hello everyone.
Today, Master Idaki Shin was roasting coffee beans at the Yui-Kobo shop all day. When I brewed coffee from freshly roasted beans, I learned many things from the coffee. A message conveyed that a bud of life must not be nipped. I took it that the message was for all human beings, I mean everyone. A bud of life is a demand of one's life and an original function of life–I use the term "honne." The coffee taught me today that if we do not live by the demands of our lives, we would not survive. So I had in mind while brewing coffee that I should focus on acknowledging and expressing the demands of my life and moving towards realizing them. 
The coffee brewed from the freshly roasted beans was exquisite. Enjoying it together with a freshly baked cream puff, I felt that this place was marvelous. So much so that I would like to come every day, if I could... I hope everyone will come here and enjoy a time of richness in one's heart. Master Idaki Shin said that there was no better support for the recovery from the earthquake. Now in a disaster area, there is a place where people can enjoy exquisite coffee and delicious cakes which would surely make them want to come again. This experience brings hope and supports people, and I felt that it was indeed so.
I built the Yui-Kobo shop following guidance of Great Being, and I was impressed again today that its guidance is marvelous. I wish to move towards the realization of the demand of my life of paving the way for a peaceful world from this place.

Thank you very much.
