I am currently a university student. I passed an audition at an entertainment agency. I don’t want to miss out on this chance, chosen from thousands of people, but my parents are against it. My agency wants me to devote all of my life to lessons as soon as possible. If my parents oppose me, I would like to make my dream come true even if it means running away from home.

It’s not wrong to have dreams, but life is something that is inherited from your parents. Ignoring your parents’ feelings and following your own will not lead to a good life. Correct engagement with parents is essential.
If you act based on your sudden emotions, you may end up with big regrets in your life. This is because if you lack calmness, you will not be able to make the right decisions.
Calm yourself down and have a thorough discussion with your parents again. Listen carefully to why they object and what their concerns are. Also, be honest about why you want to take on the challenge.
Shinji
To make use of your unmei, learn the teachings, and strive to become a shinja who lives by the principles.
Naturally and gradually, the kokoro (feelings) will anchor and you become a person who gives back your strength of your unmei to the world.
Making the best of all the encounters with many people; live with a kokoro (conviction)to give back to the world (society).
This is a person who play an active part in society.
If you are a university student, you must also be aware that your parents’ feelings who are sending and paying you to go to school. What you should do is to learn from your school and use the knowledge for your future. If you decide to change course, you will need to think carefully and keep in mind of another plan when things don’t turn out the way you expected.
Your life will shine only if you use your own strengths to benefit society. Therefore, when discussing as a family, think about what you are best suited for and what path you can take to make use of the power you were born with.
