Last month, I had finished my long lecture in the United States and was about to head to the airport to fly to Japan for another series of events.
At the airport, it was early dawn and dark clouds filled the sky. Moments later a vivid rainbow appeared among the clouds. It was amazingly beautiful. In contrast to dark clouds, a rainbow seems even more beautiful.
Similarly, hope is more necessary to those who are feeling despair, having a difficult time, and lacking awareness of their life's purpose.
When one has hope in spite of knowing that life is suffering and challenging, the feeling of hope is a lot more meaningful and precious. It's like a rainbow among dark clouds being more beautiful.
To create something in life while suffering and facing obstacles, we need hope. When we possess it, our lives truly become beautiful.
Hope is not something one can learn. Hope cannot be taught. But it can be shared.
So far, I have lived my life with hope. All I have achieved has been possible because also my students and members have had hope.
Let's make flowers of hope bloom in our hearts. And share them with those around us.
