Today and tomorrow, the happiest day of this life in the human world

May 24, 2025, a day that will never come again in this life, was a wonderful day.

The parish lecture, the 1 Million People's Classic Live, and the Bonze Bar. Finally, finally, there are people who always come, and a new community is being born.

After the 1 Million People's Classic Live ended, the performers came down to the Bonze Bar, and it was a luxurious time where they interacted closely with the audience. I am truly grateful.

Princess Hinako and Mr. Shirakawa, who are active in the foundation, were overwhelmingly warm in their consideration for the visitors, and everyone was deeply moved.

Tomorrow, Princess Hinako will go to Kanazawa, and Mr. Shirakawa will go to Aizu-Wakamatsu tonight; it is truly amazing. As we were leaving, we took a commemorative photo in front of Yuzo Kayama's painting.

I am truly grateful for the encounters with people who traveled two and a half hours each way to come see me at Myoshinji Temple, and for the completely new people living in the downtown and uptown areas who visited just before closing.

Tomorrow is Sunday. I also have the most packed schedule planned. Tomorrow, too, I want to savor this one-and-only day of this life until the very end.

I hope you all have a happy day as well.

Thank you very much.
Sincerely, Seijun Nagamatsu
