Aug. 24, 2022（Last Update: June 13, 2026）

President Ryuho Okawa's original work "Guidance of the Heart" is serialized in the Happy Science's publication Monthly 'Happy Science'. Posters are displayed at branches nationwide, and it is widely known as the monthly face of Happy Science.

For those who want to read the Guidance of the Heart in the monthly magazine, you can also find it in Monthly 'Happy Science' September 2022 issue.

This month's "Guidance of the Heart" discusses the theme of "ghosts," exploring the meaning of death and the importance of believing in true religion. We spoke with Mr. Taichi Saito, who is the producer of the upcoming movie 'Curse Reversal Master - Shio's Birth' open_in_new scheduled for release in October.

Born in 1973 in Kyoto Prefecture. Graduated from Doshisha University with a degree in economics. After working at a consulting firm, he joined Happy Science in 2001. After serving as a branch manager and head of the administrative department, he has held his current position since September 2021.

The Most Important Truth for Humanity

This month's "Guidance of the Heart" teaches about the "existence of the afterlife" and "the essence of humanity." I believe that no one other than President Ryuho Okawa can articulate this profound truth so clearly and with such personal resonance, and I truly appreciate that he has taught us the most important truth for humanity.

Before I learned about Happy Science, I thought that "new religions are suspicious." However, before graduating from university, I read President Okawa's books that were on my father's bookshelf, and I found them incredibly interesting. I read the books that were published at that time one after another and was deeply impressed by the teachings of the heart. I became a believer after starting my career, and as I learned the teachings, my immature self began to want to understand others, became kinder, and was able to maintain a positive and calm heart.

I am really glad to have been taught that "the essence of humanity is spirit (soul)."

Regardless of whether one believes in religion or not, people will inevitably die and become spirits. To return to heaven, it is important to learn the "standards of good and evil from the perspective of deities" while alive; otherwise, one may commit many evils in life and end up in hell after death.

To prevent that from happening, President Okawa teaches the truth of Buddhism through over three thousand books, movies, and songs, and I am filled with the desire to convey these teachings even to those who, like my former self, hold prejudices against religion.

A movie where you can learn the teachings of deities

The upcoming movie 'Curse Reversal Master - Shio's Birth' scheduled for release in October depicts spiritual beings that actually influence humans. When one possesses a heart that leads to curses, such as resentment, jealousy, and strong desires, they can be possessed by evil spirits, demons, or tengu, leading their lives astray. However, by knowing these spiritual truths and the standards of good and evil from the perspective of deities, one can correct their heart and live happily. I hope this work will serve as an opportunity for you to learn the divine will.

The movie 'Curse Reversal Master - Shio's Birth' is packed with 'teachings of the heart'

Many of the "cursed movies" in the world are based on the idea of "cursing back when cursed." However, when viewed from the perspective of the teachings of deities, the way to return an evil curse is simply to reflect on and refine one's own heart. This work is filled with such important teachings of the heart. Please enjoy it in theaters" (Mr. Saito)
