Feel the education lecture of the House of astronomy of the dawn
2012-06-29
  I invited Mr. active Hideko Suzuki various as a prophet of the international komyunion society and, at the education lecture of the House of astronomy of the dawn, had you give a lecture through a professor of Univ. of the Sacred Heart now the other day. Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, a foot was carried to the place where the tsunami was damaged time and time again and was gone to the place near a nuclear plant accident many times and it was talked with the various places of many victims and talked about an experience at that time.
 I have thought incidentally while hearing splendid experiences. It was a question "how is to have been able to hear an internal deep talk from the victim of the tsunami in this way?". As a large number of books of Hideko Suzuki were sold outside a hall after having been over, it was how many books or bought it.
  There was a new book of Bungeishunju Corporation called "komyunion of love and healing" to one book of those. While it read it, it was gone to the field, and Mr. Suzuki communed with victims at the time of Great Hanshin Earthquake, and it was written to have been talked. It was not only to be able to understand only by the explanation "that became a good listener because I went to the field many times and was talked".
  I was able to come across the word "active listening" when I went on reading it. Which "I am not going to tell you" "is not going to praise" which "I do not evaluate it", and which "I do not sympathize with you" merely pays attention to a person to talk to in silence, and which "I do not criticize it" seems to listen to this carefully. It seemed to be said that the speaker could provide the wisdom that I solved by oneself by making "attentive hearing" and said it.
  Why does the human being have two ears though a spout is one? With the word called this, I can be taught the importance of hearing it than talking. It was me who reached the 28th year as a Catholic priest, but, because of the profession, did not notice that it was said with "active listening" at all though I met many people and heard a story.
  Surely I was made to think that most might be thought "to be useless in consultation with this Catholic priest" again. It became the education lecture taught the importance of hearing it. Though I longed for the splendor of being devoted, and living when I met the word to tell "to hear a whole body, and to hear it", I lost passion all too soon and was made to reflect once when the arrogant feeling that oneself present was enough for might be born.
  There is the famous comic story teller who left "50, the word 60 greenhorns", but "just thinks that I do not still get away from the area of the greenhorn some other time. In acknowledgment of present own skimpiness, I thought that I wanted to do it for one month to move forward again again humbly.
  A tree of cycad of the front entrance of the school lets the only height and leaves of the dark green grow thick in now. I am impressed by horror of the power of nature and power of God some other time when restored to the original state wonderfully without the tree of Xmas tree of the last year showing the glimpse.
