Divine Comedy 2007 (XXIV)

"Kaki Kueba" (Eating heavenly persimmons)"Kane wa Nakunari" (I found no worldly money)"Hourou-ji" (but I am a bohemian of a motto)

Divine Comedy 2007 (XXIV)
[Comédie Divin 2007 - XXIV]



1. Mr. Rockefeller
Mr. Benjamin Fulford, a unique critic working in Japan, met with Mr. David Rockefeller in Tokyo yesterday for a professional interview exclusively; it was a 15 minute meeting before Mr. Rockefeller set off to have the honor of seeing the Emperor in the Palace.

According to another source, Mr. David Rockefeller has come to Japan for autograph-signing session held at a branch office of MOMA in Tokyo on publication of his book of reminiscences, though he once authorized a book Mr. Ichiro Ozawa wrote on reconstruction of Japan in 1993.

In addition, my big concern is a relationship between the US financial industry and the Mafia as well as the one between CIA and the Mafia since the JFK's tragedy in early 1960's.

2. External Pressure on Mr. Ozawa
If you are a foreign professional reporter with a means to interpret Japanese, the following site focusing on office of Prime Minister of Japan must be useful.

There are many speculations on what was behind the coalition negotiation between Japan's Prime Minister Mr. Yasuo Fukuda and opposition head Mr. Ichiro Ozawa who has changed his mind so as to stay at the current position as he was so much beseeched by other party members though he had announced his will to resign after the failure in persuading his party for the coalition.

My impression is that the manner in which Mr. Ozawa met the US Ambassador to Japan a month ago on termination of a law to allow for Japan's free provision of fuels for US Naval ships in the Indian Ocean must have some influences so that Mr. Ozawa had to take some consequences, whether directly or indirectly, even if it has been simply aimed at Mr. Ozawa's psychological vulnerability.

3. Return of a Son
Everybody knows that Jesus Christ said that even a prodigal and spoiled son should be welcomed by his father when he came back home with a full sense of remorse and humility.

But, once upon a time in India, a son and heir of a very rich family left his parents, his wife, and his home to follow Buddha despite opposition of his family.

One day, he happened to stand at his old home and beg for food. But his father could not realize that the monk with ragged clothes on was his own son so as to kick him out.

Nonetheless a humble maid of the big house never failed in identifying the young and humble monk with her former young master.

She told her surprise to the family, so that the monk's father welcomed his son in ragged clothes into the house and tried to persuade him to return to the old sate of life.

But, the monk did not change his mind despite desperate request from his old family members including his wife.

Nonetheless, Buddha, since this episode, set a rule that a young man must first secure consent of his parents to leave his family and follow Buddha, whether his father is a millionaire or not.

4. Four Commandments
In ancient India, according to prominent Japanese philosopher Hajime Nakamura, there are four percepts for members of society as recorded in a religious book.
1) Give money and goods to the poor and the needy.
2) Use kind and compassionate expressions in speaking.
3) Work and act in order to help others.
4) Properly cooperate with others in various events and situations.
In short, be like a moving wheel of a carriage in society.

These concepts are also adopted in Buddhism.

The core of the teaching is of course: "Don't be a bad millionaire or a bad politician who is just sitting in a carriage on wheels."


(Most of Europeans, European Americans, and Israelite Americans traditionally tend to think that Asians must have been living without any ethics and religions compatible with Judaism or Christianity, living in the tropical jungle without proper clothes on and speaking illogical languages.

On the contrary, far before Judaism and Christianity penetrated into European lives, Indians, Chinese, and Japanese were enjoying a higher level of ethics, art of living, and languages cultivated by religions and philosophies which are superior to Western thinking.

Unless Europeans, European Americans, and Israelite Americans all become a kind of prodigal and spoiled sons repenting and coming back to Father, the crisis of the world will not be fully solved.

If you make a pilgrimage to Houryuji Temple, built in timber structure in the early seventh century, to appreciate its sublime atmosphere and design based on excellent human spirits of ancient Japanese, you will find what a bad millionaire or a bad politician cannot achieve forever.

That is why I am telling you, good girls, love God but not money.)
