Excepting the deepest respect owed to religions and to the universal Paths of spiritual realisation—and to their followers; excepting the profound respect owed to supporters of a multipolar Eurasian policy advocating mutually enriching intercultural relations (these two groups that will doubtless contribute to the West’s of genuine balance in the futur)—how can one deny that a significant share of people fortunate enough to live in still-traditional societies, sincerely practising a religion or leaping onto or travelling along a universal Path of spiritual realisation, are nonetheless not thereby assured of attaining supreme spiritual awakening, whatever name be given to it? By that very fact, do these people not undergo an added burden of suffering when life is already amply laden with it?

As for the political imperative of unifying the populations of a vast cultural sphere, the paramount means of doing so is assuredly spiritual.

With regard to the conditions that make it easier to reach the goal of any universal Path of spiritual realisation, is it not essential—fundamental, of universal interest—to offer the best (the realisation of Absolute Truth) to the worst (the person wholly incapable of spiritual practice) in the easiest manner (without effort, instantaneously, with no possibility of losing the acquisition)?

Is it not legitimate to wish to discover such conditions for spiritual realisation, whatever our cultural sphere of origin?

Well, this easy Path exists! It is spreading today in the West, and will doubtless spread far more widely. This panacea is none other than the True Pure Land School of Buddhism (5)!

May everyone walking a universal Path of spiritual realisation carefully weigh the imperfection of their personal power and the limitations that flow from its use!

May all beings obtain Peace and Happiness! NAMO AMIDA BUTSU!
