Raising consciousness
through flowers
Our Primary goal is to help establish Paradise on Earth.
What, then, is Paradise on Earth! It is a World where
thruth, virtue and beauty are manifested fully in our daily
lives.
Our teachings on health and Nature farming provide
important guidelines by which to realize our objective.
And our practice of Johrei gives new life to all phases of
one’s being - spiritual, mental and physical. But in
Addition to these, we believe it is vitally important to raise
everyone’s consciousness through beauty.
Basically speaking, our ears and eyes appreciate beauty
through the senses of hearing and seeing. For the ears,
never before have we seen a time when music flourished
so much in Japan; this is due primarily to the development
of the radio and the phonograph. But our eyes for the
most part are limited to motion pictures and theatrical
performances; this creates quite a discouraging situation.
We should be able to have contact with beauty more
easily, without any limitations of time. Of course, for the
purpose of pleasing the eyes, plays and movies are very
good, but considering the time, expense and distance
involved, we cannot accept them wholeheartedly as the
best possible means for studying beauty.
I would like to encourage people to cultivate flowers and
place them everywhere. This would be the best means of
promoting the love and beauty. Begin by decorating the
rooms in our individual homes and in other buildings, and
this should not be limited to the middle and upper classes.

“A great turning point
On earth is at hand
Open your eyes.
See what is happening.
See the world’s actual state.
Only those who can see
The dawn of the New Era
Have clear Vision -
True eyes to perceive the truth.
God’s great Devine Light,
Long awaited for by humanity,
Has finally appeared –
The power to save the world.”

Our aim is to encourage everyone to place arrangements in
every place possible, so, wherever people go they will see
flowers and enjoy them.
Just a Single flower in a vase would create a refreshing at-
mosphere wherever it is placed. It would be ideal if we could
see flowers in every jail, and in each prison cell. This would
have an immeasurably good effect on the inmates’ mental
well-being. If there are flowers wherever there are people,
the negativity of today`s world will be considerably alleviated.
Presently, the high price of flowers is affecting how much
we can do. Therefore, we must look for a way to make them
obtainable at much lower costs. To achieve this, we should
encourage increasing their cultivation, provided it does not
affect the production of food.
Japan is well-known as a country with a great variety of
flowers. Also, it is said that our methods of growing them
have reached the highest of world standards. According to a
survey we have made, many Americans admire Japanese
flowers and are anxious to secure rare and exceptional ones
that cannot be found in United States. I believe their export
would be a great aid to japan in its efforts to improve its eco-
nomic condition.

March Monthly Service
Rev. Keizo Miura Speech
( Guidance by Rev. Miura - March 2016 )
Good morning everyone! It is good to be back here. I
visited here 3 years ago. Some of you are familiar, but
some of you are new to me, so thank you for giving me
this wonderful opportunity to meet you. Today I had
prepared some hundreds of slides showing the worldwide
expansion activities of Johrei, however, I changed my
mind this morning. I will talk about Meishu-Sama’s
Teachings and faith first, then when I have time, I will
show some slides, or if I don’t have enough time, maybe
after lunch we can come back and I can show some slides
from other countries’ activities.
First of all, let me introduce myself a little bit: my name
is Keizo Miura, I am Japanese, born In Nagoya city,
(famous for Toyota cars). I’m currently working at the
International Department as Director, so I visit many
countries now, and that’s why I have many slides to show.
My family is currently living in Hawaii, I have 3 boys and
the 2 elder sons are living in mainland USA and my
youngest son is living in Honolulu with my wife, and I am
living in Atami – Japan alone, so we all live separately all
over the world.
Let me report my own experience, how I became
involved with Johrei. My parents and my grandparents
were members even before I was born, so I am completely
second generation Johrei member. I was raised in a Johrei
family; even if I had a headache, cold or whatever,
everything was Johrei, Johrei, and Johrei. Until today I am
really blessed that I’m very healthy so far, I don’t know
about tomorrow, however, so far, I’m so grateful to be
healthy. As I grew up I was drifted away from the Johrei
Association because I couldn’t believe in Johrei or things
like raising hands and these kind of funny things, so I was
little by little drifting away from the Johrei. But there was a
big turning point when I was 14 years old. All of sudden I
started to have a pain at the back of my left eye, and I
didn’t know what to do. My mother said; “let’s go to the
Johrei Centre and receive Johrei”, but I said no thank you,
I don’t believe this. For a couple of days I was absent from
my school and the pain still continued at the back of my
eye. My mother said “let’s go to the Johrei Centre”, and
she said it again and again, but I declined. I didn’t want to
go and my mum said again “let’s go to the Johrei Centre
to receive Johrei! “
That time I said I would go and would only believe if it works
on me right away. And my mother said ok, let’s go. We run to
the Johrei Centre and I received Johrei from the minister in
charge. After I went back home, my eye pain was gone. At the
time I was not happy, I was truly shocked, truly shocked. If this
invisible power works, if this Johrei power exists, it was better
to me to be serious for my life. I was a rough student at that
time, never studied, never participated in anything, I was a
very angry boy but after this experience I changed my attitude:
every Sunday, every single Sunday I went to the Johrei Centre
by myself. I started going every single Sunday to participate in
Johrei activities, channelling and receiving Johrei. When I was
a high school student I had a miraculous experience through
this Johrei activity but that experience I will tell you next time
when I come because this is a long story.
So that is the way I started to believe in Meishu-Sama’s
teachings. I read Meishu-Sama teachings for a couple of hours
every day, and I really started to think like: “ah what Meishu-
Sama said is really the truth!”. That`s why I believe in Meishu-
Sama. So when I was 18 years old I decided to be a minister in
the future. That is how I felt when I went to Kyusei College
(Johrei Trainee Program) after I graduated from regular college
(by the way my master was mechanical engineering). So that’s
how I connected to the Johrei Association.
Today I have a present for the Sydney Johrei Centre. This
calligraphy I brought for you, these characters in Japanese
means eternal life. I would like to present this calligraphy to
Rev. Horacio and so for all of you.
Now Kyoshu-Sama said that each individual, each one of us
has eternal life; whenever I see this calligraphy it remind me
that we have eternal life, because we have an individualized
part of God in us, which is the Divine Particle. Each one of us,
no matter what nationality or race, has a divine particle, I be-
lieve that. Meishu-Sama said that everybody has eternal life.
God is eternal, so we have a divine particle which is eternal as
well. So we have an eternal life. Of course physically we may
have to go to the spiritual world but, spiritually we are eternal.
Whenever you see this calligraphy, please remember: our life
is eternal. That’s why we have to respect each one of us, who
has a divine particle. A lot of wars are going on, killing is going
on but I believe that, if we believe that everyone has an eter-
nal divine particle, I think someday the wars will end, that’s my
hope. We have to pray for that. As a Johrei follower we have
to pray for world peace by believing this, that each one of us
has eternal life, each one of us has a divine particle. That’s
what I really want to ask you to learn through this “eternal
life” calligraphy.
Today I will talk about Kyoshu-Sama’s guidance too, but be-
fore that let me share a picture of Kyoshu-Sama and his son
with you. These are Kyoshu-Sama’s middle son, Reverend Ko-
bayashi the Worldwide President of Johrei and the supporting
reverends. The International Department had a great oppor-
tunity this time to report about worldwide activities directly to
Kyoshu-Sama. On this occasion I asked one question to Kyoshu
-Sama: “I’ve always been telling overseas members that now
Kyoshu-Sama is answering very difficult questions that nobody
answered yet: ‘As humankind, where did we come from, and
where we are mean to go?’. Nobody can answer, even scien-
tists, religious people, but Kyoshu-Sama has now answered,
that we were created in Heaven and we were sent from Heav-
en and we should return to where we belong; so we have to
return to Heaven”. That is what Kyoshu-Sama has been telling
us, teaching us in his guidance repeatedly. But sometimes we
don’t understand, so I asked him personally: “if we want to
understand his guidance, we have to raise our spiritual level
first, we have to grow more, Is that right? that`s the kind of
idea okay?” I asked Kyoshu-Sama that. What he said is: “but
Miura San, God gave you a perfect divine particle, we have a
perfect divine particle but you still feel like you have to ele-
vate; you believe there is a gap, you think about yourself ‘ohh I
have to elevate more and more’, but God already gave you a
perfect divine particle, which is perfectly good and shiny and
beautiful!” We have a divine particle but we feel like we are
not enough yet, not elevated yet, so much clouded still. But
what Kyoshu-Sama wanted to tell me was that, first of all, why
don’t we just recognize we have a perfect divine particle, and
once we recognize it, let`s thank God, like saying: “oh you
gave me perfect divine particle and eternal life, you shared it
with all of us”. Let us recognize it and then thank God. Of
course we should make an effort to elevate more and more,
but we don’t realize we have a perfect divine particle.
That is what Kyoshu-Sama taught me. He believes this is the
way that we should communicate with God. So I realize we
should recognize this every day. For example if today you
come to the Centre and then there is something you recognize
on hearing the experience of faith, hearing the teaching and
you can say: “oh I realize it, I never thought! I have listened to
those teachings so many times but I didn`t realize that point”,
then if you give thanks to God, “I realize now, thank you very
much!”, then through Meishu-Sama we can communicate with
God. That`s the way Kyoshu-Sama is repeatedly telling us to
communicate with God by gratitude, by realizing something,
being aware of something new to us.
And then today, we are granting an Assistant Minister certifi-
cate to Rubens, and, I myself received a Kyoshi (Senior Rever-
end) certificate in February last month, and also representing
all the overseas churches I receive a lot of certificates like this:
Hundreds of certificates for assistant ministers, ministers, Sen-
ior Ministers. So when I have received all the certificates from
Reverend Kobayashi, I felt that being a Minister, a Senior Min-
ister, demands a great sense of responsibility that through my
words, my behaviour and my thoughts, the people
Johrei Association of Australia Newsletter 2016 Issue 2 April–June 2016

around me must feel the presence of Meishu-Sama; everyone
must feel His dignity and love through me. I realized this is the
kind of Minister I want to be, that kind of person I want to be,
a person that through his words, behaviour, and thoughts can
bring Meishu-Sama to the people; I would really like to be that
kind of Minister. So in that moment, receiving all those certifi-
cates, representing all churches around the World, I felt that
way! So again, first of all, I have to recognize I have a perfect
divine particle, and I still want to elevate myself, that is my
commitment.
So, I always share with the members my thoughts that grati-
tude is the most important thing in our lives, I believe that. So
I will explain with a slide. In daily life we always have situations
(I call it situation, okay), things happening around us, all right?
Sometimes we react saying a "oh no!" about that situation;
then, basically when we say "oh no", it is going to be a prob-
lem, a complaint; instead, if we say "OH YES!" to that situa-
tion, then it is going to be a purification, which will let us im-
prove spiritually. I heard members in Australia have been prac-
ticing this always when they face something odd, saying “OH
YES!” first, meaning “thank you, thank you for giving this puri-
fication to me”. That is the meaning of the “OH YES!”; a lot of
members in Melbourne remember me as the Rev. OH YES,
from three years ago. When you face a situation, the situation
remains neutral, you are in charge, situation is just an instant,
but you are in charge, you can say “OH YES” or “oh no”, you
can complain or have gratitude, complain or say “OH YES, I
take it as a purification”, so it will be a grateful happening to
which you can have gratitude. It means you understand that
God`s love is to cleanse you, to nurture you, to raise your spir-
itual level. If you can see God’s love behind any situation, then
you can have gratitude. So let’s not say “oh no” and create
problems and ingratitude! If we always say “OH YES!”, we will
have gratitude then we are going be really happy. Meishu-
Sama’s Teaching says: “Gratitude gives birth to gratitude and
ingratitude creates more ingratitude, if you rejoice, joyous
things will come to you”. Every morning when I get up, when I
open my eyes, before I get up, I say a prayer Kyoshu-Sama
guided us to: “I want to be born anew as a true child of
God...”, and after that, for one whole minute, I say thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, ... For one minute I can say
115 times “thank you!”. I read in one book that if you say
thank you before you get up, 100 times, your brain, which was
still sleeping, will try to find something grateful, which means
that your brain will try to find out at least 100 things to be
grateful for. I do it continuously. I mentioned this to one of the
Brazilian trainees in Japan, who had a little skin problem
around the neck. I didn’t say try this, but I said that I was prac-
tising this, saying thank you 100 times, so whenever I have
problems I say thank you; it seems crazy if you always say
thank you, thank you, thank you, in front of the people, but
when you say words of appreciation, joyous things will come
to you, as Meishu-Sama said. So every morning I say thank you
for one whole minute; I go to the altar and then the first thing
I do is a morning gratitude donation, and so many wonderful
things have been happening to me. I am so happy, I am the
happiest man in the world. I have lots of problems, lots of situ-
ations, however, I say thank you, thank you for each situation,
because it raises myself.
Let me share something I realized during my last visit to
Thailand, last year. I was waiting in the airport lounge, and
there was a gentleman nearby. He stood up to go to a refresh-
ment table, but I saw that he had dropped something, I
thought it could be an important thing for him, but he had just
gone to the refreshment table, and I missed the chance to tell
him. So I found an employee who was there nearby the place
he had dropped that thing and I told her, “that gentleman
dropped something”. She picked it up and gave to the gentle-
man, and he said “oh thank you very much”. At that time, I
thought it was not fair, because the one who found the thing
he dropped and tried to inform him was me, not her, so I
thought, “ohh this is not fair”. You know me, I am a humble
man, I don`t get angry, that was okay, I am a Minister, why do
I have to be recognized? However, I thought that if the gentle-
man said thank you to the employee and she said, “oh not me,
that gentleman is the one who told me that you had dropped
something, say thank you to him”, at least the gentleman
could thank me, but he just went back to his seat without
knowing my existence at all. So I realized, am I doing the same
thing to God and Meishu-Sama? She didn’t inform the gentle-
man the real target of his appreciation, who did it, who found
it; am I doing the same to God? As a Minister we receive grati-
tude from you, from the members; Do I say “oh, it is not me, is
Meishu-Sama, Not me”? Sometimes we don’t, sometimes we
receive thank you and feel like that was “my guidance”. But
no, everything comes from God, everything comes from
Meishu-Sama, we just have been used! So I thought that we
should always say thanks to the real source of our apprecia-
tion, that means God’s love, we should appreciate God. Be-
hind every situation there is God. We may feel that there are
problems or negative things; however, God is behind it, behind
everything. God sometimes gives us favourable things or unfa-
vourable things, but either way, God is doing, God is giving the
situation to us, so we should thank Him for everything. We
should do our best, of course.
It is here I would like to share, one good tip for your health.
There is this Doctor Shinohara, he is a rheumatic arthritis spe-
cialist, he has performed exams on thousands of patients, and
he said there is only 3 ways to recover from very hard diseas-
es, almost incurable diseases; one: give up, two: forget, three:
serve others. What that means is, patients who fully give up
their own illness, patients who put their illness in the back of
their mind, patients who strive for the lives of others, are the
ones who gather those three conditions to recover from incur-
able unhealthy situations. I believe it also applies for financial

Faith in Action
Sorei-Saishi
The teachings of Meishu-Sama and Sorei-Saishi
(Religious suffrage of settlement and sacrament of our ancestors at
the Sacred Ground)
Last April we held the ANZAC Memorial Service at Sydney
and Melbourne Johrei Centres. On that occasion, Rev. Horacio
(President of Johrei Association) said: “We pray together to
honour the memory of the courageous heroes of ANZAC, pay-
ing tribute to all of the proud men and women who have
served in the defence forces of the Australia New Zealand Ar-
my Corps. I believe that praying for them, is one of the ways
we can actively work to purify the spiritual world of Australia
and NZ, promoting a happier future for our descendants!”
In this way, every year on ANZAC Day the Johrei Associa-
tion celebrates the ANZAC Memorial Service not just for the
brave ANZAC heroes, but for the ancestors of all of us who live
in Australia.
Meishu-Sama taught us in the teaching “Wrongdoing and
the Cause of Illness” that “We are not creatures who have sud-
denly sprung to life unrelated to other beings. Each of us is the
total sum and synthesis of thousands of ancestors, the living
and breathing culmination of all our forebears”.
This means that our consciousness and bodies are made
from our own past experiences and our ancestors’ ones. That
is why we say we inherit behaviours and manners from par-
ents and relatives. It is like a tree, our great-grandparents be-
ing the roots, grandparents the trunk, parents the branches
and we the leaves, which can bear fruits and seeds repre-
senting our descendants.
In other words, as Meishu-Sama continues: “We are each
an intermediate being – an individual person at this moment –
in the eternal flow of life. In the large view, we are links in the
chain connecting our ancestors and our descendants. In the
smaller view, each of us is the link joining our parents to our
children”.
As we are the sum of our ancestors, it is clear that their
happiness will be a motive to us to be happy too. So, the more
ancestors of ours can grow spiritually to a paradise-like level in
the Spiritual Realm, the more we will become happier on
Earth, and vice-versa.

situations, or conflicts situations, or others situations as
well.
This doctor says that if a sick person uses his energy focus-
ing only on his illness, or worries, or concerns, in other words
pays attention only to illness, poverty or financial problems,
he is using all his energy for a negative thing; instead, if he
uses energy to serve for others, this can create a healthy
body, healthy mind, and even bring a cure. For instance, one
lady came to him, and he diagnosed her with rheumatic ar-
thritis and gave her some pills. She came back to see him just
4 or 5 months later, and she was fine! Then the doctor asked:
“what happened? you really look fine, no pain, what hap-
pened?” and she said: “Oh after I came here, my husband
collapsed from a stroke and then I gave up my illness, be-
cause I needed to take care of my husband.” This is a perfect
example. She forgot her problems and served others; then
she got a blessing. So, we have certain energy, let’s use our
energy towards something good, towards something positive.
Then God will take care of our problems, I believe. So I sur-
render everything into God’s hands.
Okay, I think time is up, I will finish my talk. What I really
want to say is that here in Australia we can see the worldwide
expansion work. I believe it doesn’t matter if there is a bigger
group or a smaller group, it doesn’t make a difference at all
because we are all Meishu-Sama’s true family! Even in the
many places with no Johrei Centre, no place to gather, or no
Ministers, or no Full Time Ministers, when there are members
who practice Johrei and try to follow Meishu-Sama`s teach-
ings, there is truly Meishu-Sama’s family. So from here Syd-
ney Johrei Centre, let us pray for the worldwide expansion,
lets us pray for the members in Nepal, let us pray for mem-
bers in Indonesia (they don’t have a centre or a Minister), let
us pray for members in Vietnam (they don’t have many activi-
ties); but we are blessed here, we have a Johrei Centre, we
have full time Ministers, so let us appreciate that too, and
appreciate God and Meishu-Sama because they are behind
everything. Thank you for everything.
Johrei Association of Australia Newsletter 2016 Issue 2 April–June 2016
Paradise on Earth
Service
In the early morning hours of June 15, 1931, Meishu-
Sama and a group of followers went to the top of Mount
Nokogiri, in the province of Chiba, Japan. Then, at
daybreak, facing the sun, he chanted the Amatsu-Norito
prayer, whose spiritually uplifting words have the power to
purify both Heaven and Earth.
Just then, Meishu-Sama received the revelation that a
huge change was about to begin: the Transition from the
Age of Night to the Age of Light. Thus, Meishu-Sama
teaches us that every year, as of that date, the Spiritual
World becomes ever brighter and the materialization of
Paradise on Earth is nearer.
Therefore, the Paradise on Earth Service, held on June 15,
is one of the most important services of the World
Messianic Church. It is a day when Johrei members renew
the awareness of their mission to contribute to Paradise on
Earth and to the salvation of as many people as possible.

As Rev. Horacio explains, “As representatives of our ances-
tors, we should be always mindful that the more we work for
Meishu-Sama here, the more we are directly influencing the
happiness of our Ancestors in the spiritual world. Let us show
our love to our Ancestors, becoming their True Representative
on Earth, working towards building a better world. The more
we accumulate good deeds in our daily lives, for the benefit of
society and the world, the more we will directly accelerate the
purification of our spirit and our ancestors, and consequently
elevate the spiritual level of our whole family.”
Therein lies the importance for us to dedicate together
with our ancestors in order to bring light, happiness and salva-
tion to the whole family lineage.
A way for us, Johrei members, to bring light to ancestors is
through the Sorei-Saishi (Religious Suffrage of Settlement and
Sacrament of our Ancestors). Through Sorei-Saishi we can
settle the spirits of our ancestors at the Ancestors Altar at the
Sacred Ground in Atami, Japan, where they can receive pray-
ers and offerings of gratitude on a daily basis, allowing them
to raise their spiritual levels. We can also say prayers and offer
gratitude at the Johrei Centre as well. (for more information
about Sorei-Saishi please contact us via email).
Another important way to bring light to our ancestors is
through our dedication at the Johrei Centre, doing cleaning
dedication, channelling Johrei to people in need and guiding
new members to the Johrei Association. When we make oth-
ers happy, their gratitude comes to us in form of light, which
purifies not just our spirit, but our ancestors’ ones too.
So, let’s make an effort to realize what Rev. Horacio asked
at the ANZAC Memorial Service: “Let us take this Annual AN-
ZAC service as a great ‘Annual opportunity’ to re-confirm in-
side of us that: ‘We are persons on Earth, that have a strong
spiritual connection with our Ancestors and with Meishu-
Sama.’ We can say that our Ancestors - through our spiritual
cords – are connected with Meishu-Sama, and that they can
be purified, saved and receive New Life from The Divine &
Meishu-Sama! - Meishu-Sama can guide all of us to the Su-
preme God and to the paradise that exists inside of each one
of us!”

On last February 4th, our Spiritual Leader taught us how to
partake on this Construction:
““The construction of paradise on earth” means only one
thing. It is for us to follow in the
footsteps of Messiah Meishu-sama, be born anew as a child
of God and attain the status of a
Messiah. We can all be a Messiah while living on earth, be-
cause we are destined to be so. [..]
This is what a construction of paradise on earth means. God is
constructing us to become His
children. Where does He do it? He does it within us. He is
training our hearts and minds always
so that our consciousness does not vanish when we die. God
wants our consciousness to last
forever and attain eternal life. That is why I will say this re-
peatedly: surrender your inner selves,
your heart and mind, to God in the name of Messiah
Meishu-sama; surrender your life,
consciousness and soul to Him. God will then be able to nur-
ture and train you and lead you to
obtain eternal life. Living your life in this way is how you can
be a part of the construction of
paradise on earth.”
So, in this coming Paradise on Earth Service let’s commit
ourselves to follow Meishu-Sama’s footsteps and realize Para-
dise on Earth!

Natural Agricultural Expansion in Brazil
In April we moved one step forward to the realisa-
tion of Divine Work. Rev. Luiz Dematte (Brazil) was
elect by the members and chosen by the Brazilian Min-
istry of Agriculture as the new President of the The-
matic Chamber of Organic Agriculture (CTAO) in Brazil.
This chamber discusses points of improvement of leg-
