Byakko is a Japanese word meaning ‘white light.’ It is the clear and free-flowing light emitting from the deepest and highest condition of a human being. This publication is for people who wish to call forth this pure light in their daily lives, letting it create a bright future for humanity and the planet Earth.

Daily Reflections

by Masami Saionji

All our limitations are, from their roots, things we have created on our own. Our lives unfold according to our belief.

Embedded in the INs that divine-minded people form is the function of bringing comfort and peace even to people whom we have never met.

The only avenues for changing the present course of history— the annihilation of earth and extinction of humanity that loom in our future—are the hard work of divine-minded people and the Divine Spark IN. Transcending all borders to inform as many people as possible of the Divine Spark IN will be the ultimate way to rescue humankind from this time forward.

dr_design

All human beings need to know that their divine sanctity is always shining within their souls.

The right to choose our future life

Hello, everyone. I am so grateful to each and every one of you for the wonderful opportunity to speak to you today, and I am filled with renewed gratitude to all of you for continually praying for world peace. I would like to thank all of you for coming out to this gathering today.

Today, I would once again like to talk about choices. The ordinary choices and decisions that we casually make from day to day have an enormous bearing on our life. I would like to talk about how we
