Excerpts from Recent Lectures and Guidance

Everyone, this is the “21st Global GENESIS Project”. I am happy to be able to start it with all of you while spring is in full bloom.

It was raining outside before, but now here in Nagoya, we have a blue sky. And here and there, the cherry blossoms that were said to be one-third in bloom yesterday morning have gone beyond three-quarters in bloom around the Nagoya Castle. The cherry blossoms also seem to be wishing to really bring out the potential from within them and bloom colorfully.

It is my wish for those of you participating in this “Global GENESIS Project” to also bring about the full potential of the power within you.

For 20 years, we have been seeking, experimenting, and accumulating our practices of the Divine Truth. There is an abundant accumulation of everyone’s practices here. That means there are a great many of you who have begun new lives by eliminating various pains, troubles and problems and carrying them over to the dimension of aspirations, development, and vitality.

I would like for us to begin by taking in all of your experiences and achievements with great joy and confidence. How do you all feel about that? (Audience applaud)
Today has come about as a result of this path taken for more than 20 years. The youngest participant of the “Global GENESIS Project” is 16 years old and how old do you think is the oldest? Let me ask you:

90 years old? If you think it is more than that please raise your hand. (Some participants raise hands) If you think they could be over 100 years old, please raise your hand. 101 years old? (Laughter) 102 years old? 103? Much less show of hands now. It looks like some of you are forcing yourselves to raise your hand. (Laughter)

Believe it or not, the oldest participant is 104 years old! (Audience applauds) Isn’t that great. That 104 year old is a resident of Gifu and is participating here in Nagoya (venue).

It is my true joy to be able to work toward this 21st session together with all of you between the ages of 16 to 104.

Our aspirations in 2014, for this “21st Global GENESIS Project” are for each person who is participating in this study session to be able to proudly declare “I have changed and my life has changed” from this upcoming year. That is the kind of path I wish to make for this coming year.
