Dear Zoom Prayer Meeting Attendees
I have an important announcement to make to you all.
Yesterday around noon, Mr. Hideo Nakazawa, one of Byakko's most distinguished members and the founder of Zoom Prayer Meeting, returned to the Divine World.
According to what his daughter, a family member, told me, Nakazawa-san had been ill since the end of August, and his daughter took care of him for about a month and a half before he passed away peacefully at noon on October 15th, watched over by her.
At that time, his daughter told me about the solemnity of his death, saying, "It was a very sublime end.
When he could converse time, his daughter asked, "Do you have any words to say to everyone?" He told her the following words.
NAKAZAWA-san said, "Thank you all for praying for me. I am leaving for GOI-sensei."
Nakazawa-san was conscious until the last moment of his life and expressed his will with his body language and hand gestures.
One day, his daughter asked him, "Are you feeling bad? Do you have anxiety? He said, "Only my body is in pain, but I have no anxiety or fear at all," and said it with a resolute attitude.
Just before he breathed his last, he said, "Thank you," and put his hands together.
After he passed away, his face was surprisingly calm, and he had a bright smile.
His daughter had been in regular contact with Maki-sensei via email. So, his daughter emailed Maki-sensei to inform her of Nakazawa-san's passing. Maki-sensei called the daughter, and Masami-sensei, who happened to be there, answered the phone and said, "It's all right! I knew all along. Nakazawa-san has gone to GOI-sensei on a golden cloud, and now he is blissful and shining! Congratulations! Thank you! You worked hard!" Masami-sensei said NAKAZAWA-san's daughter.
We will announce the schedule for the farewell ceremony in this email according to his will. The date will be decided tomorrow, so please wait a little longer.
Also, we will continue the Zoom Prayer Meeting, but we will continue to seek a form that does not burden the volunteers, including myself, and we want you to understand that we will continue to do so.
In addition, the following URL will be the only URL for participation in the Zoom Prayer Meeting from here.
