Even now, 68 years later, many victims of the violence of atomic weapons are still suffering, physically, in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
People make a point of it. They don’t want us to forget. Of course, we are not forgetting.
But when you actually visit Hiroshima as I did in 2011, you will be totally surprised by what you see and experience. Hiroshima now is a beautiful shining city with healthy people and great food!
How did they do it?

Yes. It’s the thoughts of the Hiroshima people who brought this incredible recovery.
Last year, the 3/11 hit us hard. And for us and for our planet it is important that we make the fastest recovery from it.
Let’s start with having good thoughts – especially about ourselves.
Don’t waste time being angry at greed-ridden corporate CEO guys and lying-through-the teeth politicians.
Believe in the power of goodness which we all have.Don’t waste time being angry at greed-ridden corporate CEO guys and lying-through-the teeth politicians.
Be an oasis for people who are suffering from spiritual thirst.
Have a vision of a society that has ridden itself of social injustices.

This time, we are challenged to make a mass enlightenment.
It’s not any different from other challenges we have had to take care of.
We always did take care of them, and came out of it.

The Human Race is a miracle race.
We can do anything we want.
Just focus on what to do, and how simple it is.

They are smiling.

Hiroshima Day
6 August 2013
Japan marked their 68th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. On Aug. 6, 1945, the U.S. warplane Enola Gay dropped a nuclear bomb on the city. An estimated 140,000 people died from the effects by the end of the year, although some estimates have put the toll even higher. Three days later, the United States dropped a second bomb on Nagasaki. The city observed a moment of silence at 8:15 a.m. local time, the moment the bomb was dropped. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe spoke later at a ceremony.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe: "We, Japanese, are history’s sole victims of the nuclear attack, and we have the certain responsibility to bring about a world without nuclear weapons, and it is our duty to continue to remind the world of nuclear weapons’ inhumanity."
