| Summary: | From the beginnings of the Mahikari organization over 50 years ago, Kotama Okada, its founder, emphasized the importance of taking strong action to restore the Earth's environment and alerted people to the importance of spiritual values in preserving the environment. In the 1960s, he spoke widely of the work of Rachel Carson which showed the importance of protecting the environment from pesticides. Following Kotama Okada's example, Sukyo Mahikari has promoted the development of innovative, eco‐friendly directions for a positive, sustainable way of life that is in harmony with Nature. Moreover, people's thoughts and attitudes directly affect their actions. In order to move forward and avoid becoming mired in the ways of the past, Mahikari fosters people's innate ability to create a world of true peace by understanding and harmonizing with the spiritual dimension in all aspects of life. |
