Two-book set by Masakazu Kobayashi: "The God of Arigato" and "Message to the 22nd Century"

Shokan-san does not support the idea of "encouraging effort" or "demanding hard work," which are often seen as positive in society. When things don't go well, people blame themselves for not trying hard enough. They think, "I have to try harder!" or "I have to change more!" According to Shokan-san, what's lacking isn't effort, but gratitude. He says that everyone is already perfect in the eyes of God (the universe) just as they are, meaning they have their own unique role, not that they are without flaws. Also, many people believe they can be happy if things go their way. But according to Shokan-san, that kind of happiness is a hell that continues ENDLESSLY. He emphasizes the importance of being content. Happiness isn't something you become; it's something you feel in this very moment. He teaches the power of the best magic word, "thank you," which costs nothing, and shares the "laws of the universe" and "how to befriend God" that he has researched for over 40 years to help people live a happy life. Unlike some religions, Shokan-san's teachings don't cost money. Haha. You don't have to believe it if you don't want to. But if you try it, the results will be obvious.

Initially, I encountered Shokan Kobayashi's work through his YouTube channel, not his books. In fact, on November 25, 2024, a date I'll never forget, something unbelievable happened to me, according to the general public. I couldn't believe it and spent a while just staring blankly every day. I just couldn't accept it. However, after learning about Shokan Kobayashi's perspective and the laws of the universe, I realized that all phenomena are neutral. And I learned that while you can't change what happens, you can change how you see and perceive things. Then, the world I live in began to look different. Until then, I only focused on the negative things I lacked and counted only the negatives. But then, I started to look at the happiness (positives) I had, which I had taken for granted until then, and I began to count only the positives. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn something when things don't go well, and I am sincerely grateful every day when things do go well.
