Today,
we had the Japanese Seminar and in the beginning, all the participants pray for
the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake and I dedicated the prayer in
Japanese. I just briefly introduce my prayer as follows:
Oh
God, the lord of Seicho-No-Ie who governs the True-Image World and the entire
universe, we, the participants to the Japanese Seminar, gather here
and sincerely pray for God's guidance and protection to be given to those
who were affected in the Great East Japan Earthquake and made a transition
to the spiritual world.
Let
those victims live a peaceful life and their sufferings be removed. Let
the provisions for daily life be abundantly supplied for those who
survived, and let the recovery work from the disasters proceed in harmony
with nature.
We,
the believers of "human beings are children of God and their lives are
eternal," believe that those who were victims of the
earthquake live embraced in God's loving hand.
Today
on March 8, 2020, 9 years after the earthquake. We sincerely thank God for
your blessing, protection, and love to the people affected by the
earthquake, while many problems still remain unsolved.
We
offer our sincere prayers that the recovery work proceed speedily and the
life of those affected people go back to normal life and they
lead their life filled with joy, love, and gratitude as soon as possible. We
thank God for realizing our earnest wish from the bottom of our hearts.
