“……It is said that the most pleasant joy of human beings is to achieve a purpose, a goal together with the cooperation of others, as a team….
We have had such a D.N.A. since we were hunting the mammoth,cooperating together with people, hunting, getting the food and sharing it with others. This is why the Chinese character for “beautiful” 美 means the huge goat because if the goat or sheep is huge then people can share the food, share the pleasure .That’s why people love to watch sports, watch a team play and share the pleasure of the victory………….
In the primitive time age it was not easy to get food therefore to get and share what they got together was a great pleasure. But what about in these modern times? Well if people, in general that is, get everything without any effort, without any purpose, then they don’t feel any happiness and don’t even feel that they are living. They then start facing to “What is life for? What is the purpose of life?”……….”
” ..What I want to say first, is that human beings have not been educated, or don’t have the system of education for creating a happy life. People are not clear that our happiness does not depend on the material but the heart. Well, many people must be saying “oh we need both”, even though they are concentrating on building material happiness.
We, human beings, need to know that there is happiness no matter what situation we are in. It really depends on the person’s sense of intuition.
We human beings have much more potential than we think
If you only seek physical matter, you won’t get spiritual happiness.
But if you seek the truth, spiritual happiness, the phenomenon will follow you.
The best way to awaken to spiritual happiness, the way of happiness, is to have an altruistic heart, and an egoless heart. Actually both are back and forth.
But people need to be aware of this, that it is back and forth. Some people practise or try to experience “just nothing”, “emptiness” and don’t care enough about other people. But there is no individual existence and as you become egoless, it means you love your neighbour and neighbour means the person in front of you.
Anyway if you have these two, an egoless altruistic heart and live expressing these then you will really be loved by others. If you wish to live a happy life, then you need to be liked by others. It’s because good destiny does not come by itself, it is always brought by other people who like you. If you are really living in the ego and not caring about other people you will not be liked and people won’t bring you a good destiny.
Nothing to be worried about in life except just sending positive energy to the people around you all the time. Just think for the best for others and be dwelled by The Great Spirit of the Universe, your life and your happiness will be guaranteed. “
“……..Whatever you wish for others is whatever you wish for yourself and those are exactly the same amount in the subconscious level. However many people are carrying the negative karma of “wishing for unhappiness syndrome”. ……..
So, anyway, how to be relieved from this “wishing for unhappiness syndrome”? The only way is to wish for the happiness of others and to live for that. This is because by doing this you will be able to start to allow yourself to be happy which is the start of having relief from the wishing for unhappiness syndrome karma.…….
I do wish that you start wishing for the happiness of others, not only wishing but actively living for that…………”
“Today I would like to talk about the secret of the Universe which is the power of prayer. This is how Mahayana Buddhism started, five hundred years after the death of Shakyamuni Buddha, which people call Mahayana Buddhism.
There is recent scientific research to study the effects of the prayers and they found that it is effective but they don’t know why the prayers are effective.
It is effective because the prayers will bring the response from the Great Spirit of the Universe.
In the previous Dharma Talk, I talked about the response of the Universe that it is creating our life, the future and even the phenomenon. The same our prayer is sending out energy to the Universe and as a response from the Universe.
Actually , we will receive “the other force” which is the response from the Great Spirit of the Universe at the same time when we pray. It is the sign that your internal Great Spirit of the Universe manifests from you. It also means that external Great Spirit of the Universe and Internal Great Spirit of the Universe, both encounter and unify.
What is the other force of the Great Spirit of the Universe?
There are different kinds of power, Wish Realization Power, The Great Love Power, The Power of the Light that illuminates everywhere in the Universe and Majestic Power.
All those powers spread to the Universe, especially if you pray for someone specific. The response of The Great Spirit of the Universe will concentrate on that person. This is in Buddhism we call the transference of “the other force”.
To receive “the other force” which means the power of The Great Spirit of the Universe, God or Buddha, what we need is altruistic prayer, the prayer for others.
Scientists might think that prayer is effective because of the power of the person who prays but human beings have no power. But the prayer will bring a response from The Great Spirit of the Universe and will spread. Concentrate on the prayer and effect not only to other people but also yourself. Because there is no separation of self and others in the world of non duality, the Great Spirit of the Universe. “

“AlI ten Worlds from Hell to Pure Land, all are included with each other.
So, even in the heart of Pure Land beings, there is an internal hell. Also in Hell world beings, there is an internal Pure Land.
Nobody will be rescued, and/or feel saved if they are not being understood. No one feels loved, if they do not feel understood.
“one mind, three thousand worlds”, which means that when you mind something, it will spread all over to the three thousand worlds. At the same time the mind which seems to be produced from your heart, is a reflection from all three thousand worlds.
This philosophy is very important for you to understand.
The moment of your mind affects all over the Universe, and at the same time, there is a reflection from all over the Universe.
Every being affects each other and at the same time each being is the reflection of the whole world.
What you have in your mind, what you keep in your mind will create the phenomenon and the future.“

“…..when you have a project that you want to achieve. What you need to do is determine the success, determine the future, imagine what needs to be done for that, for the success,and do all the actions even if there is only one percent of the possibility of success.
Do all the actions to achieve the purpose, but when you do the action, you have to forget the result.You have to do it as a dummy, just enjoy and forget the result. This brings the result which is the success and this is the interesting part. Do you know why? ………….
“Do you have any sadness and or pain in your heart? Actually, living as a human being there isn’t anyone who doesn’t carry any sadness or pain in their heart.………
This time period is quite interesting because most people are thinking that “everybody is happy except me”. Nearly everybody is thinking this way so people race to show off how happy they are……
But anyway as I said there isn’t anybody who hasn’t had some sad or painful experience in their childhood because that is an arrangement of the human being. This arrangement is so that we will be able to empathise with the pain of others. ….
And as your empathy grows, empathy towards the pain of others, the sadness of others, you will care more for others, love others and pray for the happiness of others. As your heart expands more and praying for others to care for others, the amount that you care, pray and love
others is the amount you receive the Great Love from the Great Spirit of the Universe. You may ask “Why?” Because that is the Principle of the Universe. That is the cause and effect. ….…”
“I wish that you will have a good destiny, good fortune, therefore I would like to talk about how to be in the Ki of Fortune, of the good destiny.
We have in Japanese the word “Unki”, “Un” is the destiny and Ki is the Ki energy, which means that in Japan or might be China, in the East, people knew that destiny was brought by Ki energy.
Actually this UnKiand how you see the present is related, the present being the “here and now”. Since the book called: “Be Here Now” was sold in the West, people are aware of the importance of “The Now” the present. Unfortunately most people misunderstand the concept of now, how you see the present.
There are actually two types of present, one is the present that is included in the past and the other is the present that is included in the future.
Most people see the present that is included in the past.
But people think the moment they recognize things is the present, but actually it is already the past. I think this is related to this, but when we think about the present, we think about the future based on the past, “because we had experienced this then it is going to be like this”
We imagine unconsciously about the future from what we have experienced, that’s why many people are trapped by trauma and repeatedly create what has happened in the past. But don’t forget that the real present is not there.
So what is the real present? It is the present which includes the future. The real present is what we create and produce. When we determine what is going to happen in the future, well usually people will not determine about the future, because most people don’t know that we can create the future by determination, visualisation and constant action.“

“Many people mix up religion and spirituality. However, when spirituality has grown enough, one will be relieved from religion.
When one’s spirituality has grown enough they leave the religion, just as when the seed has grown, breaks through the ground and starts growing as a tree up to the sky.
Anyway, there is an interesting word in Buddhism that is also used in martial arts which is “Shu- Ha-Ri”, three steps of the growth of spirituality.
Shu is to keep the tradition, keep everything as taught, either traditionally or based on what the teachers or leaders show.
After that Ha , which means to break the tradition . And finally Ri , which means relief from everything. Why relief? It is because there is no word of dogma but just the state of the heart and body.
When spirituality has grown something breaks through the ego, and when you break through the ego your spirituality starts to grow, you discover yourself as a new person reborn. It is also a time to break through the words and dogma. Spirituality goes beyond the dogma and words“
“…….. I’m wishing not only to change the world but I’m wishing that by transforming people’s hearts toward altruism, their existence will get closer to Heaven and or Pureland because material things won’t change their life. The money or position, the fame, the external things or conditions of life will not change the life of a person……………….
One, whose heart is getting closer to heaven, will be able to think more about the future, subconsciously. Even about the future after passing away. Why are they able to think about the future more?
It is because the fear is getting less by the heart getting closer to Heaven or Pureland, by the heart transforming to altruism. Why is there less fear? Because subconsciously, we know where we are going to in the future and what will happen in the future, including our next life,……
If the state of your heart is close to heaven then of course your future will be brighter. So there is no need to fear it, no need to fear the future..
But if one is in a state of ego , it means that………”
