Is It Impossible for Us to Change Our Character?
When We Ask for the Strength of Kami…

(MK from Tokyo Prefecture/30s/Female/Employee)

Early in this year, I had a problem about human relationship. However, it was a turning point for me and my life got better from then on. This year, I was really surprised at many experiences such as wonders, miracles, and Kami’s protection.

My Weak Point I Could Not Improve Easily

My weak point is to be easily depressed. Kami always teach us the importance to live with a positive kokoro. I thought I needed to make an effort when I learned the way of living from Kami. In fact, however, I could not improve myself and I felt depressed more that “I am a useless person since I always feel depressed.”

Several months before, I was surprised to see the leaflet about “Correct kigan get through to Kami”. It mentioned like “Human’s kokoro is not so strong as we practice the teachings by our own will.” or “We could not correct our character without asking for Kami.” So, I realized not only my own strength but also the support from Kami was needed. I founded the reason why I felt painful that I only tried to change my character by my own effort.

When I Could Correct My Kigan That Will Get Through to Kami

I changed kigan that “I want to change my character as I learned the teachings.” not appeal any complain or wish. When I had a situation that I felt depressed about, the thought came in my mind was “It taught me my weak point. I could correct my character from now on.” It was miraculous change for me since I always used to reflect the past. In addition, it was miracle for me that I changed without my noticing it.

As I face to dislike a person who says a severe opinion, but on the contrary, I came to feel he/she was a grateful person since he/she said what people were hesitant to say. It was miracle that my point of view changed 180 degree. Before, I felt sad when I was pointed of my weak points from my parents. Now, I could accept it with gratitude from the bottom of heart not only the surface. I could say “I understood. I try to change.”

The other day, my mother who knows my character most said to me that “You changed greatly. You became les depressed.” It was really glad for me. I felt it was a gift from Kami at the 20th anniversary of the birth of Shikon.

To Be Myself to Believe the Existence of Kami from the Bottom of My Heart

I was given another gift. I wanted to have my family one day, and I could not get rid of the anxiety when I thought about the future. However, it became out of my worry when I realized. My kokoro becomes comfortable when I feel I want to live my life with happiness like “Be pleased with now, be grateful for today.”

I was really moved since Kami watched my kokoro that I tried to correct my character…. Now I became myself who could believe the existence of Kami from the bottom of my heart and I want to tell surroundings the change of my kokoro I experienced.

Heeding the Shinji to Understand the Reasons for the Joys Experienced

Shinji is the universal principle (truth), and can also be the guidance of life that foresees the future. Please feel the wonders of a life that flows exactly in a way the Shinji tells us when you live with the teachings of Kami

Shinji
Do not lower the stability of the kokoro, to be a person who walks the path as you feel the existence of Kami.
Do not seek the strength of Kami to make a wish, but walk the path every day as you entrust your kokoro to Kami and walk thorough a happy life without withering your unmei.
When people attain the correct kokoro (principles) of kigan, all people could experience the miracle of kokoro, the peace of mind.
