by Masahisa Goi (Author)
Even if we have found contentment in our own individual life, we cannot truly be happy when we see that many people in the world are suffering. Masahisa Goi holds that the only way we human beings can rise above our troubles and bring peace to the world is through the development of our spirituality. He proposes a simple method, based on the prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth-a method that is easy to practice yet holds a high and pure vibration, and can be adopted by people of all cultures, religions, and walks of life.
Author Biography
Born in Tokyo, Japan, on November 22, 1916, Masahisa Goi was a poet, philosopher, writer, and singer. Though he aimed at a career in music, he found himself spontaneously drawn to the realms of philosophy and spiritual guidance. At the age of 33 he attained oneness with his divine self. From that time on, he endeavored to reach out to people by holding informal talks, where anyone was invited to participate and ask questions. He enjoyed this direct contact with people, and provided many with spiritual guidance toward the attainment of inner peace. Mr. Goi authored more than 60 books and volumes of poetry. Based on the universal prayer May Peace Prevail on Earth which he advocated, Masahisa Goi founded a worldwide movement of world peace through prayer, transcending religious, ethnic, and political boundaries. Before departing from this world in 1980, he named Mrs. Masami Saionji, his adopted daughter, as his successor and leader of the world peace prayer movement that he initiated.
