Hello. Master Idaki Shin’s concert at Fuchu no Mori Arts Theater has successfully ended now. Thank you very much. Yesterday at the Entrepreneur Salon, there was a talk about the body being restored, and today, it was about regaining the body, and about oneself returning into the body. I felt that all fit perfectly—though not in a good way. The state of not having returned to oneself has felt exactly true. I suppose this is what happens when people live their ordinary lives. Yet, I know that since I’ve been living the Idaki way, it’s not like I am like that all the time. But as this has been emerging so clearly and vividly lately, I felt that we have come to a point where we cannot live on unless it is resolved. Today, just by listening to the concert, a frame came off from the pain in my head. Then, all of a sudden, I remembered the press conference when we went to Romania, where Master Idaki Shin was asked, “What are you expressing through the piano?” He replied, “The human heart is broader than the universe.” Remembering that, I realized that this must be what it feels like. I was able to deeply experience that this is not a time to be caught up in such small place. In the second part, I experienced a sense of my body returning, or regaining, and becoming one with the universe, one with everything, at peace, with nothing else. I am filled with a profoundly grateful feeling as it was truly quiet and peaceful today. Because the world is in such a difficult state, as mentioned in the message earlier, that this is also a resistance against war. In the last message, it was written at length that it is not just about regaining one’s self, nor is it merely about healing. Regaining one's own life, one's own self and one's own body—that is what it means to resist war. I’ve come to know deeply just how incredibly important it is to live. Next is a concert in Kyoto. There is nothing as wonderful as a live performance, so I really hope you will all attend again. Thank you very much.
