After immersing myself in the artistry of landscape architecture and garden design across Japan, my journey unexpectedly led me to the serene grounds of traditional Buddhist temples. While my focus was initially on honing my craft in design, the tranquil atmosphere and profound teachings ignited a newfound interest in spirituality within me.

Throughout my four-decade-long career as a landscape architect, the seeds of spirituality planted during my temple studies gradually flourished. Delving into practices like meditation, and exploring concepts of energy and vibration, I began to perceive the interconnectedness of the physical and metaphysical realms.

Nearly two decades ago, an invitation to formal Buddhist meditation classes unveiled a deeper understanding: the teachings of Buddha were not solely about Buddhism, but about unveiling the essence of our own being. I learned that true happiness and suffering are internal experiences, independent of external circumstances. Moreover, I came to recognize the boundless potential within each of us to experience lasting peace and happiness.

This awakening prompted me to embark on a journey towards spiritual teaching and guidance, aimed at illuminating these universal truths for others. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to both receive and impart wisdom across diverse corners of the globe.

Driven by a desire to reach and uplift as many souls as possible, I’ve embraced various platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and most recently TikTok. Through these channels, I aspire to offer support, inspiration, and timeless wisdom to seekers on their own paths of discovery.
