Man is blessed with a spirit that is one with the spirit of the Universe. This spirit is called reiseishin.

The moon is clearly reflected in the water when the water is calm. In this same way, when our mind and body are unified and calm, our reiseishin manifests itself completely. Once this happens, all suffering and wicked desires fall away, and the Universal spirit of love and protection for all things appears in us.

Let us strive to realize our reiseishin.
