Dear members, it has been quite some time since we last spoke. I am confident that all of you have been spending your days in good health.
I am clearly aware of those among you who are confined to bed by illness and those who have become unable to walk. This is because I myself am now 85 years old, and GOI-sensei informs me of how all of you are doing.
I will turn 86 this coming June on my birthday. At that age, things naturally do not go as they once did. I find myself forgetting things more often, and I have caused inconvenience to many people. Even so, I am still fulfilling my own work.
Thanks to all of you, the true divine mission of Japan is finally opening, and Japan will come to be recognized as a leading nation that guides the world.
I have known about this situation for a long time, but amid the present circumstances—namely the disharmonious conditions appearing outwardly both domestically and internationally—I remained silent until now.
During that time, however, each and every one of you truly did your utmost. Even when you became ill, even as you grew older, you continued to do your best. Younger members also made great efforts, creating time for prayer, forming the mudras, and offering the Prayer for World Peace.
All of the energy overflowing from the bodies and consciousness of each one of you is conveyed to GOI-sensei, and it envelops the world. The world is connected through a sacred network.
The power of your prayers as members is truly extraordinary. They have greatly uplifted Japan, making it a nation that shines with Light. This year, that will be recognized by the world more than ever before. I am so happy that tears come to my eyes.
Since the COVID pandemic, even though I have not been able to meet you in person, each of you has become self-reliant and continues to pray in your own homes.
There are those who are ill, those whose legs are weak, those who cannot go outside, and also those who are healthy and actively working outside, devoting themselves wholeheartedly to the activities of the gathering.
The consciousness arising from each person’s soul—“Now, let us work for Japan,” and “Now, let us work for the entire world”—together with your prayers, is bringing about a great transformation at the very foundation of the world. The results of this will clearly appear in the visible world from now on.
Thanks to your prayers, I am full of energy. Thanks to all of you, even now I continue to walk with my own feet to various places, purifying them. As I walk, I give heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you. Thank you very much.
Signs of positive change will finally begin to appear this year. The time has come for your prayers to reach all over the world and to be recognized by many people.
Therefore, dear members, please live your days with ever greater hope, but without ever overexerting yourselves, and allow the Light of life to shine forth.
I look forward to the day when we can meet again. Take good care of yourselves.
That is all.
