“There are several words in Japanese using the word “evil” in everyday life.
For example, when we say “Jama”, “Ma” is evil and “Ja” is the evil’s negative spirit. “Jama” means disturbing. So when we say “please don’t disturb me”, in Japanese we say “ Jama shinaide”.
Sometimes we use the word “Maga sasu”. “Magasasu” means that something evil comes, cutting into your existence. When we do something really wrong without being conscious, we use this word “Magasasu”.
There is also an old proverb “ko ji maooshi” (好事魔多し) It means that when you try to do something good, a lot of evil comes.
” ....Every moment is the starting point to the future and it is all the time, every moment increasing the brightness. Do you know why? It is because when you are in the state of the present, which is every moment the starting point of the future, your heart and body are always on standby. Standby for what?
Standby to present, to give a good thing to the world. Any action ready to give to the world. Get ready for the action to give to the world. Do you think this makes you tired? No, it doesn’t because if you are on standby, all the time prepared to do anything, something good for the world then automatically, naturally you are receiving the energy of the Great Spirit.…………….
Determine that you are always prepared to do any action and to send positive energy to others. If you do this then you will like yourself much more because that is the kind of person you want to be a friend with. Then you can be a friend to yourself, much more than the person who doesn’t like to give. Be a giver and be more of a friend with yourself. If you become more of a friend to yourself then you can be more friendly to others and you can be much more friendly with the Great Spirit of the Universe. Then all the trust to the positive future will be produced in your heart, will appear in your heart”.

“…………Wisdom is to recognize the relationship between your present action, words and heart and what will happen in the future. The relationship is your three karmas, which is the mind, the image, action and the future. This is awakening to cause and effect. Of course the effect is the future, it is the result. And the cause is your mind, words and action towards others.
How we behave will determine the future. For example,those who are not awakened to this wisdom, they don’t see the future point of view, that is why they can say words to other people without caring whether those words will hurt other people or not. They don’t see the result, what will happen if you hurt other people…………..
This wisdom actually comes from how much you accept the world, other people, into your own heart.……….
Accept others to your own heart, actually this is love.……….”
“….. be awakened to the potential that you can create your future, not living in an illusion. The illusion that the present is a continuation of the past. The present is not a continuation of the past but a starting point of the future, you can create whatever you wish to……………
All the phenomena you are recognising as a world is a reflection of your subconsciousness as a mirror therefore if you have a different subconscious you are recognising completely different phenomena…
How you are able to manifest your image and your feeling as a phenomenon of your future experience is the most important practice of life. Jesus knew this method and he manifested as a miracle………
As we also have this ability…………….
Let’s live in the here and not as a continuation of the past but with the starting point of the Bright Future every moment………..
You have this ability…”

“……To overcome the ego and bring happiness to others is the real way to get the ticket to a happy life, mentally and also physically. But most people are imprinted that to give up ego is to also give up happiness, which also includes physical happiness. ………
Ego does not bring people to happiness because you will not be liked by others if you just live to fulfil your ego.
Also ego comes from fear. Anything based on fear doesn’t make for happy consequences or results. A happy result comes from the motivation of giving happiness to others, not the motivation of protecting from fear.
“There is a quote from Shakyamuni Buddha that says “practitioners just walk alone”. What does it mean “just walk alone”? Many people misunderstand the meaning, as if this means “don’t be with a group and just practice by yourself”. In some way, yes, but actually there is no individual existence. One individual existence cannot exist, it is supported by all the other existences. Even the movement of one of your fingers will affect the whole Universe. And the movement of your finger is the result of the movement of the whole Universe. Which is the cause and which is the effect? …………………….
This quote is saying that you need to take in all the other existences, you need to accept into your heart the whole world……………..
If you accept all other existences in your heart, what happens is that you will be accepted by the Great Spirit, and what will happen then is that you will start receiving the Great Love of the Great Spirit……………”
“There are two kinds of people in this world. People who live based on the past and the people who are creating the future.
Actually, the most important thing that human beings have to learn is of course how to live. But people don’t usually learn how to live at the level of how to create the future. Most people don’t learn this, don’t know this or don’t practice this.
This is because there is a concept of past, present and future, and most people are living based on the past and based on their own security.
The people who have the attitude to life based on the past and based on their own security, what they imagine about the future is not so bright, do you know why?…………..

“Creating the Future is to Live a Life of God/Buddha”
“The third practice of the six paramitas, which is written in the Heart Sutra is “to be patient” but actually the Chinese character means that to be patient is to be humiliated.
So, what is the humiliation that will be experienced by the Mahayana Buddhist practitioner who is always wanting to give merit to others? By giving merit to others, what do they need to be patient about and what kind of humiliation will they experience?……….”
“The concept of time in life is so very different between people. Some people or many people feel that the present situation lasts a long long time, but some people feel that the present situation will not last long, it changes quickly. Where does this difference come from?
One of the causes may be that they think the future is based on the present. When they imagine what the future will be, their reference point of thinking about the future is the present. But actually the present just came from the past image, so we are even able to say that the reference point is the past. Because so many people think that the future comes from the past to the present and then to the future…………
The tendency to think of the reference point as a present actually, as I said, comes from the future images, which comes from the karma of the past. Then what will happen, actually you think it is the future but it is just repeating the past, past pattern, what you call karma. Just repeating the pattern of your tendency, because you base what you think about the future on the past image and It means you are not being able to relieve yourself from the past. Not being able to relieve from the karma.
So why won’t you change the reference point? What can you imagine to make you excited about the future? Any exciting image or any ideas which make you excited are gifts from the Great Spirit of the Universe.………..
“The biggest problem of human beings is that they are imprinted with “to satisfy ego is a way to be happy”. No matter how many times I say that the way of ego is to make your life suffer in the future and altruistic giving, the way of giving to others creates your happy life in the future.
No matter how many times I explained and no matter how many times people also experience energy differences depending on the way of living, they still have this imprint of “happiness is to satisfy ego”
So often in the end they select the way based on ego to fulfill their satisfaction. The reason why some people would choose the path of ego, to satisfy their ego, is because they have fear inside.……………
And the problem is that this is common sense in society. All people are trapped in fear and they think to satisfy their ego is to follow to be happy but actually it is a trap, and is a trick, it is the opposite………
Ego creates tension and division between people and people. But being altruistic brings the unification with others, warmth of heart and body and makes you much more relaxed than living in ego…….”
