SPIRITUALITY works now considered the foundation stones of Happy Science: The Laws of the Sun, The Golden Laws, and The Nine Dimensions: Unveiling The Laws of Eternity. Today, Okawa is the author of over 2500 books that have been translated into 31 languages and sold over 100 million copies worldwide. “Master Okawa reveals the real truth about where we came from, why we're here, and where we’re going,” says Yoichi Utebi, a member of Happy Science since 1990 and currently the Vice President of HS Productions, LLC. “Those are really the fundamental questions that everybody has. By answering these questions, we can overcome any issues we may be having in our life. We can understand the truth about this world, the spirit world, how the system works, the true meaning of this life today. We discover we have a mission and that there's a reason we’re here. We can find the Buddha nature inside us—the deep light which is inside every single person.” Happy Science reveals one of the most important and healing truths about life: that divinity exists and that it is very much alive inside everyone. Unlike many ancient spiritual texts which are written for a different era in consciousness, Okawa’s teachings are incredibly practical, simple, and deliberately designed to be grasped by anybody in the modern-day world. “That's his secret,” enthuses Utebi. “It’s why everybody is following him in Japan.” Similar to Buddhism, Happy Science teaches that Right Mind—the right way of thinking—is the prerequisite to happiness and a return to our divinity and heaven. 48 www.yogicherald.com Jan. 2020
