This month, words of guidance were spoken to help us recognize the existence of the "heart" and become aware of our true selves. We asked Chihiro Suzuki, the head of Shinjuku Seijo, who became a monk of Happy Science from a research position in physics, for hints on heart training based on his personal experiences.

I felt that the guidance received this month was filled with what is lacking in today's world. Many people act with very negative emotions because they do not learn about the "heart" in regular schools, but this leads to hitting a wall at some point in life.

When I was a researcher in physics, I often thought, seeing very intelligent professors and scientists deceive, undermine, or fight with others, "That's terrible." As a result, my own heart became rough, so I bought President Ryuho Okawa's scriptures and lecture tapes (at that time) at bookstores to learn the teachings and calm the turbulence of my heart.

Later, when I joined Happy Science and met fellow scientists who were believers, I was surprised to find them all very warm and that "scientists who learn the teachings of the heart are different."

Indeed, even if one has an excellent intellect, if they cannot see the "human heart" and do not understand the "good and evil of the heart," they inevitably end up living a "self-centered" life.

So, what should we do to understand the "heart"?

First, it is important to consciously think about what you are thinking about in your daily life and to take some time each day to reflect on your heart. Additionally, reading scriptures such as President Okawa's 'Awakening the Heart' will deepen your understanding of the heart.

After joining, I often attended training at the Seijo, and gradually deepened my awareness of what emotions and thoughts were in my heart, leading to deeper reflection. At one point, while participating in a training session at the Seijo and staying overnight, a chemical formula appeared in my dream, solving a research problem I had been stuck on, which led to my doctoral thesis. From that experience, I realized that there are things that cannot be overcome just by thinking with intellect and reason; one must harmonize the heart and refine intuition to receive inspiration from the heavenly realm.

Through heart training, people can express their "original self (Buddha nature)" that transcends the level of emotions. Shall we learn that method together?
