Byakko (白光) is a Japanese word meaning ‘white light.’ It is the clear and free-flowing light emitting from the deepest and highest condition of a human being. This publication is for people who wish to call forth this pure light in their daily lives, letting it create a bright future for humanity and the planet Earth.
Daily Reflections
by Masami Saionji
The destruction of Earth that we are witnessing today is a warning from the heavens that humanity must abandon its selfishness and greed, and wake up to its divine sanctity.
dr_designAll human beings are none other than divine life itself. If we cannot discern our divine nature, it’s because we live our lives clinging to our everyday thoughts and feelings.
dr_designFrom now on, each individual’s values will plunge into a great transformation, shifting from the pursuit of greed to the pursuit of divinity and sanctity. It will be the sacred mission of divine-minded people, who have beautifully achieved their own divine rebirth, to guide this transformation.
dr_designIf each and every human being becomes humble and respectful toward all living things, a path of harmony will be born.
dr_designPower-filled words, or kotodama, are the energy of the universal divine. When our divine mind speaks, our words turn into kotodama and illuminate the world with their light.
dr_designThe words we keep using day after day are the building blocks of our lives. Let’s make sure that we never use words like It’s hopeless,
I can’t,
and It’s impossible.
As you continue to manifest your words and actions by means of your sacred divine consciousness, you will absolutely establish a radiant future for yourself.

Barbara: Today, we’d like to speak a bit more about prayer. What is the nature of prayer? What does prayer mean to different people in different cultures? Why is it important, in our times and in our societies right now, to expand the notion of what prayer really means, so that we can be of the greatest service possible to all of the challenges that are facing us, because
