Lighting up one corner of the world alone is not enough

There are all sorts of problems in this world. I think many people living in the world are truly good-natured. I suppose most live their daily lives, giving priority to their own or their family's economic stability and maintenance or promotion of their health, for example.

The button of hope

We need to pass through many processes before the ideal of a Nation for International Peace and the Environment* is raised in Japan. For these processes, we would do well to think about the most effective way of proceeding with them at each occasion as changes develop in line with this proposal. The most important …

World peace can be achieved easily

We, humans, have repeated wars and conflicts for thousands of years, yet tragic wars and conflicts are still happening around the world at this very moment.
