Under the cold skies, many people gathered to hold a philosophy walk along the Rokkoku Pass Hiking Trail.

We entered the pleasant forest and first did work to open our five senses. Although we are given a rich five senses, in our busy days, we often overuse only our eyesight.
This is a proposal to awaken our hearing, touch, and smell even when we are in nature, and enjoy the forest to the fullest. We all felt the birds singing and the cool winter wind.

At today’s sharing session, we got the impression that many comments were made on the themes of “seeing each day anew,” “humility,” and “forgiveness.”

Thus are the quotes that were distributed to everyone today. We hope these words reach everyone who reads them.
