Due to covid-19 pandemic, all purchases online will take an unpredictable number of days for shipping! Thank you! Be safe! Welcome to the Home of Infinity Life, Wisdom and Abundance! Dear friends,
Thank you very much. Everyone has been living with a lot of mental and physical changes in their lives due to an unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. Some people started to become impatient and to show their frustration because of the stay-at-home period and did not follow CDC or government guidelines. Because of their actions, some states have increased more COVID-19 patients. It is important that we maintain our physical and mental health, and at the same time, we should pray for people’s well-being and peace and harmony of society. Those of you who lost the job because of the pandemic, you need to visualize God’s infinite abundance. The Seicho-No-Ie New York Japanese and Portuguese Groups have their own prayer sessions to pray for themselves, other people and world peace. However, each of us also need to pray for peace and harmony. Let us practice Shinsokan Meditation and read the Holy Sutra Nectarean Shower of Holy Doctrines, Holy Sutra For Spiritual Healing, Song in Praise of Nature, and/or Song in Praise of the Bodhisattva Who Reflects the Sounds of the World. Followings are prayers that you can use during the Shinsokan Meditation. Please choose a few prayers and pray for yourself, your family/friends, your community, and world peace. Prayer for World Peace God’s infinite love flows into me, and shines forth from me 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 everyone with thoughts Only of Love, Peace, Order and the Truth of oneness in God. Joint Prayer Prompted by Humanitarian Love God’s love fills all of earth to overflowing, and all emotions contrary to love are being wiped out by his love. All of humanity, all races, are receiving God’s love without exception and are therefore experiencing a deep sense of love for each other. Hereafter, there is no longer any anger, hatred, malice and strife in this world. (Watashiwa Koshite Inoru [This Is How I Pray], p. 162) Divine Message of GRAND HARMONY Be reconciled with the whole universe. When you are so reconciled the whole universe is your friend. When the whole universe is your friend nothing whatever can harm you. To be hurt by something or attacked by bacteria or an evil spirit is proof that you are not reconciled with everything in the universe. Therefore reflect upon yourself and be reconciled. This was the meaning of my teaching long ago, first to be reconciled with your brothers before making offerings at the altar of God. The greatest among your brothers and sisters are your parents. Those who are grateful to God but cannot be grateful to their parents are against the Divine Will. To be reconciled with the whole universe means to be grateful to everything in the universe. True reconciliation cannot be achieved by patience or forbearance with one another. To be patient or forbearing is not to be reconciled from the bottom of your heart. When you are grateful to one another, true reconciliation is achieved. Those who are grateful to God but cannot be grateful to everything in the universe are not reconciled with the whole universe. If you are not reconciled with the whole universe, although God wishes to save you, your thought waves of strife will hinder you from receiving God’s waves of salvation. Be grateful to the blessings from your country. Be grateful to your parents. Be grateful to your husband or wife. Be grateful to your children. Be grateful to those who serve you. Be grateful to all people. Be grateful to everything in the universe. Within those thoughts of gratitude you will find me and receive my salvation. Since I am All of everything, I am found only in reconciliation with the whole universe. You cannot see me here or there. I therefore cannot be contacted through a medium. Do not think that God will come if called on through a medium. If you wish to call on me, first be reconciled with everything in the universe. Since I am Love, I shall appear when you have become reconciled with the whole universe. (Message from the Spirit of the Lord on the night of September 27, 1931) Divine Message of PERFECT HEALTH AND ETERNAL BLISS Originally there is no disease to cause suffering. Nor is there agony to cause suffering. A mind that takes pride in suffering saying, “This is how much I am suffering,” is a mind that invites illness. A mind wanting to suffer to follow the sufferings of Christ is also a foolish mind. Christ was divine and never had suffering. His cross signifies divine bliss rather than suffering. In no way can a child of God suffer. Nor in any way can he be confronted by adversity. As he acts with complete trust in the Almighty, everything will become divine bliss in consonance with the will of God, in complete harmony with the divine order like flowing water. When one becomes enlightened to the Truth, a mind that prides itself in suffering, as well as the mind that abhors suffering, will both vanish. In their place will be born a truly peaceful outlook in which there is no room for either suffering or hardship—in fact, where both pain and pleasure are completely transcended. Those who attain this realization will experience a complete transformation in their being, a sweeping change of heaven and earth, and their lives will be filled only with songs of praise. The True Image is divine bliss that transcends both pain and pleasure. A “pleasure” which you usually refer to is not a true “pleasure” that when such “pleasure” is sought, it inevitably gives rise to suffering. It is false to claim that there is pleasure in satisfying the five corporeal senses. Since “pleasure” of the five senses in essence is never true pleasure, it will surely change into suffering. The True Image transcends this kind of deceptive pain and pleasure, for it itself is true pleasure, that is, divine bliss. That true pleasure is the essence of the eternal self, the child of God. And the child of God is man himself—there is no other. When we speak of the real man, we are speaking of one whose essence is the eternal bliss in perfect health, without suffering, without vexation, and indestructible. The physical body is not man – it is a shadow, a footprint of the human mind. The one who is destined to fall to ruin is not the real man. All of you, see the True Image of yourself which knows no suffering, affliction, or disease. (Message from the Spirit of the Lord on November 10, 1932) Words with Which to Attain Infinite Abundance God who is the source of all wealth and supply grants to me everything I need and desire in infinite abundance. As heir to God’s wealth I am granted God-given abilities in infinite abundance. I am granted, and I accept, God’s blessings which come to me in an abundant flow. Since God prospers, I, as an heir to God, will also prosper abundantly. Since God’s wealth never dries up, my wealth also will not dry up. In everything that I do I will “give of myself” abundantly to others. Why? Because I know that if I do so I will receive from God an infinite supply of all that I need. I make my offering to God and He compensates me accordingly. A shining supply of wealth flows into me endlessly from the abundant flow of God’s life. With love and gratitude in my heart, I accept this gift from God. (Watashiwa Koshite Inoru [This Is How I Pray], p. 139)
