November Monthly Commencement Ceremony 2025
Congratulations, everyone, on joining the November Monthly Commencement Ceremony today.
The divine work of our organization has been progressing smoothly over the past month through God’s grace and guidance.
The World Divine Light Organization is surely moving toward a new stage of God’s plan.
I truly feel that God is giving us His encouragement—guiding us to share His Light and Truth throughout the world.
The sight of so many young people gathering with such spirit and joy was deeply inspiring.
It gave me strong confidence that this movement will grow into a global spiritual movement that awakens people everywhere to His divine truth.
The success of the 43rd MYA National Rally, organized entirely by our youth, was a great step forward in the divine work we are carrying out today.
In Africa, we witnessed a wonderful development.
Those who received Doshi training at Su-za, the Main Shrine in Japan nearly twenty years ago, are now serving as doctors and professionals in their own countries.
Through their sincere dedication and guidance, ninety-six members were able to complete the Intermediate Seminar this time.
This remarkable result shows how God’s Light is steadily spreading through the devoted efforts of these pioneers of faith.
Now, seeing nearly one hundred participants in Africa, I feel that the time has come for us to begin preparing to establish a regional Su-za there.
Looking at the recent Joint Anniversary Ceremonies both in the United States and at the Kariya Divine Light Center in Japan.
I was deeply impressed by how many children took part in the performances for the ceremony with such vitality and joy.
It is rare to see a spiritual organization where children are so active in offering songs and performances to God.
This clearly shows how the goal of nurturing youth, which all of us have been working on together, is bearing fruit through God’s guidance and blessing.
We can truly feel that many bright and good-hearted children are being raised under His Light.
Regarding the Su-za, the construction of the Su-za in Mexico was delayed during the pandemic.
However, the work is now moving forward, and we expect it to be completed by next spring.
When it is finished, we plan to organize a tour from Japan. so that we can all go together to celebrate and support our brothers and sisters in Mexico.
Recently, students of the 59th class of Yoko Academy traveled to Mexico and California for their study trip.
Many of them expressed their aspiration to serve overseas as Doshis in the future.
Seeing their sincere determination, I truly felt that the divine mission of the Third Era to bring God’s Light and Truth to people around the world is now being carried forward in this generation.
For that reason, I would like all of you to continue supporting our educational institutions Yoko Academy and Yoko High School. so that they can keep growing through our united efforts.
The teachings of this organization are destined to become universal. In the Prayer Book, there is a divine song revealed to the First Oshienushi-sama:
“The teachings of Buddha, Confucius, and Mohammed all flow from the same spiritual origin.”
This expresses the divine principle of Sumei Godo— that all five great paths—Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, Confucianism, and Taoism— originate from the same source of divine truth.
The fundamental laws of creation make no distinction between race, nation, or boundary.
Our mission is to guide humanity back to this original source of divine wisdom, so that the essence of all faiths may be united once again in the Light of God.
What, then, is the ultimate purpose of God’s divine plan? In Christianity, it is the return of Christ and the restoration of the Garden of Eden.
In Buddhism, it is the Pure Land of Bliss.
In our teachings, it is the creation of Heaven on Earth, a world where people live in harmony with God.
The truth within our teachings is found in every faith.
That’s why, no matter where we go, our message resonates with everyone, transcending all religions and nations.
We are now entering the next stage, a great transition from the Water Era to the Fire Era.
Su-God’s purpose in creating Heaven and Earth is eternal continuation and harmonious coexistence.
When we look at what’s happening in the world today, we can see that to fulfill this divine plan and become a truly universal spiritual path, humanity must aim for a world without barriers a world where hearts and cultures are united in harmony.
This is what Su-God desires for us now.
Why does Su-God now call on us to build a world without barriers? When we look at the war in Ukraine, we can see how divisions between nations and cultures can lead to conflict and suffering.
In history, Christianity divided into branches the Eastern Orthodox Church, which separated from the Roman Church in Constantinople. The Church of Kyiv became a flourishing center of that faith, and Ukraine was once the spiritual heart of Russia. Today, divisions between the Moscow Patriarchate and the Church of Kyiv have grown into conflict, building both visible and invisible barriers between people. The result has been tragic, a war born from the walls within the human heart.
If both nations sought to fulfill Su-God’s will. If they aimed for the harmony that Su-God desires, their cultures could learn to forgive one another and build an age of mutual understanding and peace.
The old mindset of rivalry, the way of the Water Era, has given rise to such conflicts. In truth, these are not just wars between nations, but echoes of divisions within the same faith in God.
If humanity continues to live by the mindset of rivalry, the way of the Water Era, we will never be able to create the world of harmony and unity that Su-God envisions.
A world where cultures are interwoven in mutual respect cannot be built while people remain divided by rivalry and contention.
That is why conflicts over territory still arise today.
To resolve the world’s contradictions, humanity must awaken to Su-God’s Light, allowing divine wisdom to guide our leaders, our cultures, and our hearts toward harmony.
That is why the World Divine Light Organization must dedicate itself to sharing Su-God’s Light with the world, serving wholeheartedly in harmony with the Divine will.
As Kamikumite, we serve by helping advance Su-God’s divine plan, even one step at a time.
We must remember that we are the seeds of a new era, souls entrusted to help give birth to a new age for humanity that has long lived by the mindset of the Water Era. With this awareness, we are now building the foundation, in this third generation, to carry out our divine mission for the world.
As we always pray to Su-God, our aim is the Fivefold Expansion of the Divine Work and the establishment of Su-za throughout the world.
Even in Angola, nearly a hundred people have now completed the Intermediate Seminar. With such growth,
the time is surely coming when regional Su-za will be built in Africa in nations like Angola and the Congo.
We must therefore move forward with this divine work on a truly global scale.
For this reason, we must now move forward with the construction of Su-za on a truly global scale.
God is now watching over the world and giving us a clear warning.
He calls on humanity to end the conflicts that arise from territorial disputes and the divisions caused by differences in faith. Su-God desires a world where people and cultures live side by side in harmony, respecting one another beyond boundaries and beliefs. In other words, He is showing us how to transform the mindset of the Water Era into a new era guided by the Divine will. Through His sacred plan, Su-God reveals the purpose of this transformation, and we, as Kamikumite, are allowed to take part in advancing His divine work.
If humanity fails to awaken, we stand on the brink of destroying ourselves through nuclear war. Su-God is now working to restrain the material civilization that has been fueled by human greed and desire. This turning point is known as the Baptism by Fire, the time when Su-God purifies the world and guides humanity back to divine order.
?
Let us always remember that our organization exists to assist Su-God in advancing His divine plan for creation.
We must awaken to the awareness that we are the seeds of the next civilization, souls entrusted to live by the new divine principles, and help bring them to life through humble service to His will.
In each of our roles, let us carry out the divine work that aligns with Su-God’s guidance.
Together, we continue to pray for three sacred goals: the Fivefold Expansion of the Divine Work, the construction of Su-za, and the nurturing of youth.
By fulfilling these, we will build the foundation for a civilization that truly reflects Su-God’s Light and teachings.
Why did God permit the construction of the Motomiya Shrine? It is because God wishes to further strengthen the spiritual power of Tekazashi, the sacred practice of radiating Divine Light.
Su-God is now granting us this renewed power so that His Light may shine ever more strongly through our hands.
With this awareness, let us devote ourselves to the sincere practice of Tekazashi, to living by the divine teachings, and to helping advance Su-God’s plan step by step as Kamikumite and as the seeds of the next Divine Light Civilization.

As we enter November, let us remember that this is the month of unification a time to bring our plans and efforts for this year to completion.
Each of us should look back and do our best to accomplish the goals we set for this year.
December will soon arrive, but let us not make it a month of rushing about in busyness.
Instead, let us spend it in calm reflection, preparing our hearts and making new plans for the coming year 2026.
May this November truly be a month of unification and fulfillment a time to align our hearts with God’s will and to step forward into the new year with gratitude and hope.
With this, I would like to conclude today’s message for the November Monthly Commencement Ceremony.
Congratulations to everyone, and thank you sincerely for your heartfelt participation today.
