Daily Guiding Principles
ー Written by Masami Saionji
1.
I will transform everyone's hearts. To revive the lost spirits, to open the door to the spiritual world that exists in everyone's heart. The more this world fills with chaos and fear, the more we need the power of mystery, the energy. Now, open the door of your heart fully and release your inherent mystical power, your energy. You will change, transforming, awakening day by day, into the form of a god.

I believe that in order not to conduct foolish politics, all politicians should pray to God.
To lead humanity, one must clearly be aware of the world where their true inner self exists; without it, it's utterly impossible.
It's almost the same as saying there's no future for mankind unless politicians have a spirit of faith.
Only those who are awakened to the truth should govern politics.

I am one of those who always think how wonderful it would be if people who believe in religion could complement their faith with more intellect. Let me give you an example of a very devoted monkey.
"One day, the master was napping under a tree. Then, a fly came and landed on his face, making him frown in his sleep. Seeing this, the monkey thought he must kill the fly that was disturbing his master's peaceful sleep. He picked up a large branch lying nearby and, with all his might, swung it down towards his master's face. The fly was killed. However, the master never awoke from his eternal slumber."
How sincere, kind, compassionate, and yet how foolish the monkey was. Like this monkey, there are many people in the world who are full of good intentions but lack common sense. I do not favor blind faith and aspire to pursue a complete humanity.

I like the following words of the Buddha:
"He who is silent is condemned, he who speaks much is condemned, and he who speaks little is condemned.
There is no one in the world who is not condemned."
As long as there is life in this world, whatever one does, humans continue to look at others with eyes of condemnation and jealousy.
If you live worrying about the eyes of others, you will not be able to sustain yourself.
You should be aware of the eyes of Heaven (God).
