“It is good that macrobiotics has spread as a health method, but I feel that there are few people who understand and pass on the underlying Eastern philosophy.”this is3These are the words Teizo Okada, chairman of Seishoku Kyokai who passed away a year ago, used to say. To find macrobiotics to cure illness, for health and prevention, to be happy...I think it's different for each person, but I'm sorry that there are people who couldn't continue even though they met, or who were isolated and lonely because they talked too much about this and that to their families. I have also done it. I myself20I met in my teens, and since then20Considering the years40I feel much healthier than when I reached my teenage years, and above all, I feel happier and more free. Against this backdrop, I thought that someday I would be able to share my realizations from thinking about where the dividing line lies between those who continue and those who don't, those who become happy and those who don't. . Today, I think I was able to talk about a part of it by cutting it from various angles, such as the determination not to be afraid of loneliness for freedom, and the fact that you have an immune system against change that you cannot continue. And, although it was less than usual, I think that everyone who participated in that way was able to bring back their own realizations. ◇ Impressions from the participants.
