“Then on the next morning sometime, about three hundred participants assembled on the lake shore.  With myself in the middle, we faced the lake’s surface and as the rising sun came before us we chanted the ‘Great Declaration’: “The eternal power of the universe has gathered itself to create a world with true and grand harmony.”

“Our thoughts that were sent out imbued with the Great Declaration curbed the emergence of an aquatic plant which was the source of a foul odor, and transformed the surface of the lake into a clean slate.  Our thoughts, requesting harmony and stability for all things through the Great Declaration were transmitted clearly to grass and water, changing their qualities and purifying nature’s pollution. . .”
