80 members from all over the world came together for an international retreat in Japan.
They visited seven different Happy Science shoshinkans and shojis (temples) over six nights and seven days, including a stop at the future site of the Amenomioyagami Memorial in Gora.
Testimony: “This is the gift that Master Okawa has left us human beings. This is the training ground where we come to train our souls.”
“The trip was amazing. The amount of happiness that was generated was too great. I had been to Sohonzan Shoshinkan in 2016. When I arrived and saw the temple, I instantly had the thought, “This is the gift that Master Okawa has left us human beings. This is the training ground where we come to train our souls.”
The next temple, Miraikan, houses a gohonzon of Hermes. It is beautiful. The head minister there also gave his small but powerful enlightenment. He said, “Devils cannot create a future; they can only interfere in yours.” That blew me away. Everywhere we went we continued to receive a little bit of enlightenment to help us on our path.
Next Japan Retreat: December 2025!
The next retreat will coincide with its opening along with the opening of Kobe Shoshinkan and a visit to Nagoya Shoshinkan where Master Ryuho Okawa quelled the devil and attained enlightenment.
