Program Details
【Opening Speech by Fumi-san (0:00–2:44)】
Hello, everyone. It is a true joy and an honour to be able to bring you this program, "Divine Spark Activation — From Japan out to the World," and to share with you the wonderful work of the members of Byakko Shinko Kai in Japan.
It was Masahisa Goi who composed the message and prayer "May Peace Prevail on Earth," in the aftermath of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. His vision kindled a worldwide movement dedicated to the awakening of humanity and to the mission of peace on Earth that we all share together. The name "Byakko Shinko Kai" means to radiate and spread white light. Its spiritual centre, at the foot of Mount Fuji, has carried on Goi-sensei's legacy and teachings for more than seventy years.
On a pilgrimage tour of Japan a few years ago, many friends from Unity Earth visited the Mount Fuji Sanctuary and experienced firsthand the beauty and spirit of this sacred land, space, and holy ground.
Since September 2018, before the pandemic, the members of Byakko Shinko Kai who are taking part today have gathered every day at 9:00 in the morning and 9:00 in the evening to offer prayers for peace and for the healing of the environment. For these eight years, these devoted prayer gatherings have been held day after day, sending the light of prayer out to the world.
In today's gathering, the "Divine Spark IN" (sacred hand sign) will be offered to raise the vibration of our prayers. This sacred practice is a "prayer in motion," a cosmic sign language that roots a higher vibration into the Earth and into the human heart. Please join in and form these signs with us, to whatever extent you are able.
As we celebrate World Unity Week and "99 Days of Peace — Peace through Unity, Peace through Harmony," we unite our hearts with people all over the world through prayer, through sacred movement, and through shared purpose. And now, please welcome Keiko-san, who will guide us into the Divine Spark Activation gathering.
【Opening Remarks by Keiko-san (2:44–4:39)】
Thank you, Fumi-san. Hello, everyone. Welcome to this special prayer gathering, "Divine Spark Activation — From Japan out to the World, May Peace Prevail on Earth."
Today, together with the Unity Earth community and friends around the world, we offer prayers and meditation for world peace. The gathering will begin with the Prayer for World Peace, the Oneness Meditation, and the Declaration of Humanity's True Nature. We will then offer special prayers for the United States, Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Iran, China, and for all regions of the world stricken by disaster, conflict, and human suffering.
To bring the gathering to a close, we will offer gratitude to the Universe, and prayers for the natural environment, for Mother Earth, and for the divine spark within all of humanity.
At the very end, Dot Maver will lead us into the Global Silent Minute. We are deeply grateful to Dot-san for helping to carry our prayers out to the world.
And now, Masaharu-san will lead us in the Prayer for World Peace. We will play an audio recording of the late Masahisa Goi, the founder of "May Peace Prevail on Earth." He will guide us into the practice of "Touitsu," which means to attain Oneness. First, you will hear Goi-sensei reciting the Prayer for World Peace in Japanese. Then, please join in the prayer in English. After that, you will hear Goi-sensei's spiritual clapping and whistling, which guides us into a space of prayer, purification, and healing. Please make yourself comfortable, and if you wish, close your eyes and feel the vibration. Pray quietly in your heart: May peace prevail on Earth. Let us begin. Masaharu-san, please.
【Prayer for World Peace】
May peace prevail on Earth.
May peace be in our homes and countries.
May our missions be accomplished.
We thank you, Guardian Deities and Guardian Spirits.
【Oneness Meditation】
We are melting into a circle of light.
We are melting into a circle of light.
May peace prevail on Earth.
May peace prevail on Earth.
【Declaration of Humanity's True Nature】
Originally, all of humanity — regardless of race, ethnicity, national borders, beliefs and ideologies, skin colour, or wealth and poverty — transcends every division and is, every one of us, equal.
Each and every person is divinity itself.
Therefore, all of humanity is connected as one.
【Prayer for the Seven Countries】
(The declaration is spoken only once, in English, and no separate time for prayer is set aside.)
No.1 United States of America — The divinity of the people of the United States of America has reawakened. Dai-Jouju.
No.2 Russia — The divinity of the people of Russia has reawakened. Dai-Jouju.
No.3 Ukraine — The divinity of the people of Ukraine has reawakened. Dai-Jouju.
No.4 Israel — The divinity of the people of Israel has reawakened. Dai-Jouju.
No.5 Iran — The divinity of the people of Iran has reawakened. Dai-Jouju.
No.6 China — The divinity of the people of China has reawakened. Dai-Jouju.
No.7 The disaster-stricken and conflict-affected areas of the world — The divinity of the people of the disaster-stricken and conflict-affected areas has reawakened. Dai-Jouju.
《Divine Spark IN once for each country》
【Gratitude to the Universe】
On behalf of humanity, we offer our gratitude to the deities who govern the Universe.
Universe, thank you very much.
《Gratitude IN seven times in succession》
【Prayer of Healing for the Earth】
We send the healing Light of the Universal God to the Earth.
《Divine Spark IN once》
【Prayer for the Divine Resurrection of Humanity】
The divinity of humanity has reawakened. Dai-Jouju.
《Divine Spark IN once》
【Global Silent Minute by Dot-san (24:16–27:25)】
Thank you (Arigato), Keiko-san. We will now hold the Global Silent Minute, which we offer for sacred activation. And we will send forth our prayers and intentions for peace, for the healing of Mother Earth, for the restoration of the natural environment, for the realization that "love heals," and for the reawakening of the essence of divinity.
We offer our gratitude to the Guardian Deities and Guardian Spirits. We become aware that we are all interconnected, living within the one unified field of the Earth. We are one — one human family, one with the cosmos — and everyone, and everything, is divinity itself.
The power of silence is greater than we know. Silence does its work within sacred unity. Now, let us prepare to enter the silence together. With a deep breath, we activate the divine spark within our own hearts, and we unite our hearts across all distance. Let us take a moment now to invite all beings beyond the veil to join us. When you hear the sound of the Tibetan singing bowl, we will enter one minute of "silence as action," releasing our prayers and intentions.
…May peace prevail on Earth.
【Closing Remarks by Fumi-san (27:37–28:31)】
Thank you, Dot-san. Thank you for that truly, truly beautiful Global Silent Minute, carrying our prayers out to the world. It was such a moving and heartfelt moment. And thank you for always supporting us, your friends in Japan. Thank you so very much.
Now, our program is drawing to a close. Before it does, I would like to call on Masaharu-san. Masaharu Saito is the one who planned these Zoom prayer gatherings that connect with countries around the world, and who has led them from the very front. Since September 2018 — taking over from his predecessor — he has continued them for eight years. What extraordinary devotion. He is truly a lightworker, a peacebuilder, and a world server. I believe Masaharu-san will share a few words with us. Please, Masaharu-san.
【Saito's Greeting (28:34–29:57)】
Fumi-san, thank you for your kind introduction. My name is Masaharu Saito.
I feel truly happy and grateful to be able to pray together with all of you today.
We hold gatherings like this every morning and every evening.
And especially on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, we welcome friends from many different countries in Japanese, English, and Spanish.
I have just sent the details in the chat, so please take a look if you wish.
I sincerely believe that all of you gathered here today are the very ones who will lead the way as the consciousness of humanity evolves.
It has been the greatest honour to share this prayer with you today, for the great harmony of this planet and the Universe.
I sincerely hope we will be able to have such an opportunity again.
Thank you so very much for joining us today.
Muchas Gracias. Grazie. Danke schön. Merci. Obrigado. Dank u. Tack. Спасибо (Spasība). תודה (toda). شكرا (shukran). धन्यवाद। (dhanyavād). 감사합니다 (Kamsahamnida). 谢谢 (Shieh-shieh). 有り難う御座いました。
【Fumi-san's Closing Words (30:16–33:30)】
Masaharu-san, your words truly touched all of our hearts. Thank you so very, very much. We can feel your devotion — and not only yours, but the devotion of all the members of Byakko Shinko Kai who have prayed for so many years, throughout the seventy years since "May Peace Prevail on Earth" began. It is such sincere, heartfelt devotion. We are deeply grateful.
If any of you would like to join these prayer gatherings, we have posted an email address you can write to. Masaharu-san will send the schedule of the upcoming gatherings. Please do join us.
Thank you so much. And Becky, it's just about time to bring our team, the Divine Activation Team, onto the screen. There are a few more of us. Becky will join us too. Becky has always been a warm and devoted supporter of our Byakko Zoom prayer gatherings over many years. I am deeply grateful to Becky for being here with us today, and of course to Dot, through the Global Silent Minute.
And here are our members. Thank you, Masaharu-san, Wakae-san, Chisato-san, Mamiko-san, Keiko-san, and Kazuko-san — and of course Dot and Becky. Everyone, throughout the weeks of preparation, we were all so very nervous before going live. Delivering all of this in English took a tremendous effort. I think you all did a wonderful job. I hope we can be together with you all again in the future.
Now, Becky, could you switch to gallery view so that we can see all our friends in the Zoom room? As you can see, the members shown here are especially from Japan. They are the ones who gather so devotedly, every morning and evening, for the Prayer for World Peace. Of course, many other prayer groups are active as well, and here we also have Kumiko-san, who holds her own gathering. In this way, so many prayers circle the Earth each day. May peace prevail on Earth. I am deeply grateful to all of these people. Finally, let us all wave to one another, love one another, and send each other our gratitude. And let us say: May peace prevail on Earth. Now, Becky, could you turn on the microphone? May infinite love be poured upon you all.
※ Due to time constraints, the entire program will follow the usual shortened version. Also, on this day, each Divine Spark IN will be formed in a single motion (one breath) lasting four seconds.
