Terrorist Plot

In today's morning paper, a lot of articles covered the news on a terrorist plot against America-bound airlines. Fortunately, Mass Murder was prevented and some British nationals of Pakistani origin were arrested.Investigation is now going on. I was really relieved to see such an atorocity was not committed, however, I was pretty surprised with their tactic. I mean they used liquid in pet bottle as an explosive substance and instant cameras... If they were clever enough to catch up with such an idea, I think, they should have used the idea in a different way for more peaceful purposes.

I suppose it is easy for non-muslim people in industrialized countries to criticize what Islam extremists was about to bring on in London, however, we need to know and understand what they have in mind and what drives them do such a terrible act.

In the Seicho-No-Ie teachings, our destiny and environment is a reflection of our mind. It also means that the destiny and environment of the world is a reflection of the world's mind. Unfortunately there are many outrages not only in Beirut, Bagdad, Tehran and Pyongyang but also in mind of ordinary people, therefore, we need to discharge the opposite feelings, namely positive, cheerful and beautiful ideas to the universe.

This is why I pray Shinsokan, Meditation to visualize God, in the morning and night and pray for world peace. Here is PRAYER FOR WORLD PEACE by Dr. Masaharu Taniguchi, 1893-1980, the founder of Seicho-No-Ie.

God's infinite love flows into me (us),
And shines forth from me (us) as a
brilliant spiritual light of love.
The spiritual light of love grows and
grows in intensity,
Covering the entire world,
And filling the hearts of all mankind,
With thoughts only of love, peace, order,
and the Truth of oneness in God.
