This month's "Guideline of the Heart" indicated that even those in high positions in this world, who live pursuing desires without knowing about the "soul, heaven, and hell," will go to hell after death due to their foolishness. I asked Executive Director Soken Kobayashi for hints to learn this guideline more deeply.

Soken Kobayashi

Executive Director of Happy Science and Chief Editor of the Comprehensive Magazine, and Editor-in-Chief of 'The Liberty'

Born in 1958 in Nagano Prefecture. Graduated from the University of Tokyo with a degree in economics. After working at the former Ministry of International Trade and Industry, he joined Happy Science in 1991. He has been in his current position since March 2020. As the editor-in-chief of 'The Liberty', he disseminates opinions based on President Ryuho Okawa's guidelines on politics, economics, and diplomacy.

The True Standard of Good and Evil

After reading this month's guideline, what impressed me the most was the Buddhist saying, "To be able to distinguish between good and evil means to understand whether it is heavenly or hellish." This is an incredibly profound statement.

Generally, "good or evil" is often determined by "common sense" or "the eyes of others." However, President Ryuho Okawa teaches that whether a person goes to "heaven or hell" after death is determined by their "state of heart."

In short, those who have lived with a heavenly heart will go to heaven, while those who have lived with a hellish heart will go to hell. Therefore, what truly needs to be questioned is, "Does your heart and actions lead to heaven or hell?"

Such spiritual truths cannot be explained by anyone who cannot discern the full picture of the spiritual world, which is "what kind of world heaven and hell are" and the "law of causality" that states, "If you live with this kind of heart, you will return to this kind of world."

In other words, it is the present Buddha, and the miracle that this person is now teaching the law and publishing over 3,000 books is actually happening.

Let's Learn the Difference Between Heaven and Hell

President Okawa has clarified people's "state of heart" as if reflecting it in a mirror through the spiritual abilities that accompany enlightenment.

About a year ago, President Okawa called forth the spirit of a journalist who was praised as a "giant of knowledge" and had them speak, revealing a "hidden truth" that was far removed from their public persona. It was also revealed that people who were called "great prime ministers" or "scholars" have fallen into hell due to their erroneous thoughts.

In this way, those in positions that influence the country and the world will also be questioned about their "good and evil as leaders" after death, but only President Okawa, the modern Messiah, can show whether their work is "good or evil" from the perspective of "God's justice."

It is said that many modern people forget about God and Buddha and that many go to hell, but there are also many who seek the meaning of life and the spiritual world in their hearts. Please read President Okawa's books and learn about the differences between heaven and hell.
