The Laws of the Sun - One Source, One Planet, One People is the fundamental book of Buddha’s Truth.

Spiritual Messages

Communicating with the spirit world and exploring and revealing its mysteries have been Master Okawa’s continued effort since he attained Great Enlightenment in 1981. He has published spiritual messages as a proof that the spirit world does exist. “Spiritual messages” (Reigen in Japanese) are the words of the spirits revealed through the Master Okawa vocal chords. Unlike the normal channelers, Master Okawa is able to summon any spirit at will and stay conscious during the entire procedure. Since 2009, Master Okawa began conducting these spiritual messages in public, and he has already called upon the number of spirits. He has been recording and publishing messages not only from the spirits of the other world but also from the guardian spirits of those who are still living.
