[Voices]
Thank you very much for your descent on earth. The phrase “religion is the media” was a words of wisdom for me. I will keep in mind once again that it is important to be aware that you are the source of transmission, and that self-help and strength are important. I learned more about the danger and manipulation of information by the Japanese media, and I realized that we, Happy Science’s mission is to become the media who conveys the words of God. (50s, female)
I am not yet ready to become an independent person, but as a student, I would like to devote myself as much as I can to become a person who can save many people. (10s, male)
I was reminded that everything is in the books of Master Ryuho Okawa and that enlightenment is the way to open the future. I will devote myself to seek enlightenment. (60s, female)
I was impressed by the words, “We cannot save others unless we become independent.” I also realized how naive my perception was. It also stayed with me that freedom is only possible by following the rules. (20s, female).
I learned that it is important to be independent, to be firm and independent, and to contribute to the happiness for many people. I will study the Lord’s Law, practice it more and more, stand up well as a member of society, and tell many people about the Lord’s love, mercy, and El Cantare’s name. (30s, female)
I realized that the mind that hangs on without independence, the mind that is dependent on others, and the mind that is concerned with worldly interests are the sweet view of life. I was convinced that future science, future politics, and future civilization can be found in the teachings of Happy Science. I will transform myself following the Lord’s Great Enlightenment and His guidance. (20s, male)
I strongly felt that I would like to fulfill the mission of religion to communicate more as a media. I also learned about the universe, and I would like to increase my enlightenment. (40s, female) ・I was very impressed with the lecture.
The point that “the standard of value in the heavenly realm has not changed no matter how the world or this world changes” was memorable to me. I am determined to live out my life with what is most important to me and not be misled by the values of this world. (Male, 40s)
I am very much impressed by the greatness of Master’s words that religion must be its own media, independent and strong, and I’m also impressed that Master Okawa has published more than 3,000 books. I would like to keep in mind the words “know your own ability and work within your limits.” (20s, female)
