Daily Guiding Principles
ー Written by Masami Saionji
１．
You are a fortunate person.
Why?
Because right now, you are breathing and undoubtedly alive.
Even without your awareness, this repeats day after day in a regular manner.
It is impossible not to feel the wonder of nature's workings.
You cannot be unaware of the preciousness of being given life by God.
It's about realizing that nothing can be done by your own strength alone.
Whatever you do, it's by the power and help of God; without it, you could not live.
2.
You are someone who can become happy.
You must become happy.
Despite being someone who should naturally be happy, you have taken detours until now.
It has indeed been a long and difficult journey.
It must have been very painful.
It must have been very tough and sad.
But it's alright now.
The moment you've leaped into the embrace of God, from this moment on, you will truly become happy.
Because you have leaped onto the path of happiness.
A completely new you, different from before, has been born.
Now, let's pray with God. Let's pray the ”Prayer for the peace of the world”.
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.
You will welcome a morning shining with hope tomorrow.
3.
The reason you are concerned about how others live their lives is that you are not satisfied with your own way of living. In any life, there is training to make the soul noble. If you realize this, you can live your life with confidence.
4.
Look, listen, and then walk. It’s a mundane daily repetition, but... with these eyes of mine, I can feel all living things. With these ears of mine, I can hear every sound. With these feet of mine, I can walk step by step, firmly on the ground. If I turn my eyes to gratitude for what I am doing, the way I have thought about things until now will turn 180 degrees, and life will open up significantly.
