Message from the Chief Editor

At the present time, the world is seeking for true freedom, true liberty.

In the year of 2011, a large number of people have raised a revolutionary wave in the Arab world called as Arab Spring. And in China, a single-party state governed by the Communist Party of China, the remarks of some brave people, who stand up for freedom of speech and freedom of religion, are gaining prominence around the world. It seems these actions to win freedom and to liberate people from suppression will continue to spread all over the world even after the year of 2011.

On the other hand, rather than obtaining liberty, some people in the western world are demanding for equality and well-controlled society since they have been confronting serious economic difficulties. However, the history of 20th century has proved that Marxism income distribution and controlled economy produce nothing but poverty. Not favoring social equality, the fact the western world needs to realize is the thoughts of liberty based on deep wisdom and mercy.

The reason why the Middle East, Western countries, and China are undergoing these drastic changes is because their thoughts based on their fundamental beliefs (such as Islam, Christianity, and Materialism) restrict people of today as a result. Under such circumstances, people’s minds are suppressed and they may feel unfortunate. However, we believe the present age is seeking for a new world spirit (Weltgeist), and around the world, people are trying to attain the teachings of “God of Liberty” in order to discard old values and create a new future.

The Liberty is the media that pursues the true liberty for wishing to bring happiness to every individual, peace and prosperity on every society and nation, and a utopia on earth. We believe the true liberty comes from inside of peoples’ minds knowing unchanging religious truth. Jesus Christ said “The Truth shall make you free” and Buddha said “All of us can be free from sufferings and can obtain spiritual freedom by attaining wisdom.” And at the present time, Master Ryuho Okawa of Happy Science teaches universal religious truth.

From Japan, one of the most peaceful and prosperous countries in the world, The Liberty provides articles on news commentaries and opinions in many categories based on the teachings of Master Ryuho Okawa. By the power of universal truth, we believe there will be life filled with love and happiness, success in business, prosperity in every nation and society, unification of religions and science, and peace brought by harmonization of different religious beliefs. We hope this site will be helpful to you attaining your liberty and happiness.
