AM RECEIVED
in many world
capitals as an ambassador for
world peace. I can assure heads
of state and world leaders that
world peace ís not only possible -
it
is
definitely coming - and in our
time, and this in spite of the fact
that for six thousand years with
world leaders strivíng desperately to
achieve this peace, sutfering human–
ity has never yet enjoyed it.
But why? lt is my mission to an–
swer that question. For every etfect
there has to be a cause.
That is to say that our human
society has never yet found the way
and put into motion the way that
would cause world peace. Also, that
is to say that humanity has failed for
6,000 years to discover the cause of
the world's colossal evils - íts wret–
chedness, unhappiness and sutfer–
ing.
I repeat: There is of necessity a
cause for every etfect. How could
that cause of so stupendous an ef–
fect have escaped all humanity for
6,000 long, agonizíng years?
The answer has been available.
Yet science has never discovered it.
Education has never taught it. Reli–
gíon has never stumbled onto ít.
Yet the answer has been to them
all as the absent-minded professor's
spectacles. When he discovered they
were missing, he searched every
nook and cranny of his home and
his study, but was unable to find
them - until he finally looked into a
mirror and discovered he had ab–
sent-mindedly pushed them up over
bis forehead.
1 have not
t~wught
out any super–
complex solution more difficult than
any other minds have been able to
reason through. I have merely been
willing to see and accept what
science, education and religion have
either overlooked, or never recog–
nized or neglected.
In a series of dinners, attended by
between 50 and
lOO
of the leaders of
nations, 1 have spoken ' and made
clear tbis simple trutb. 1 have shown
them the way to world peace. I have
shown them how that way, taught
and put into living practice on three

WORLD PEACE IS POSSIBLE-
IS COMING: BUT WHY NO PEACE
IN 6,000YEARS?
college campuses, has demonstrated
during .nore than a quarter of a
century that it does indeed produce
peace and happiness and the abun–
dant life.
These dinners, revealing this
practica!, simple truth to a group of
nationalleaders - people of under–
standing and discrimination - are
now leading to public appearances
before larger audiences of thou–
sands in many world capitals. These
leaders want their people to hear
this simple message of super-tre–
mendous importance.
These public appearance cam–
paigns in world capitals are unique
in that they resull from the approval
and endorsement from the very top
of the govemments of these nations.
They are the dírect result of the un–
usual favor 1 have been given in the
eyes of the many kings, emperors,
presidents, prime ministers and
other leaders of many nations.
Public appearance meetings have
been scheduled not only for Manila
and Saigon but also for Addis Ab–
aba, Ethiopia. Others are to follow
through the year.
On this present trip, en route to
Manila, 1 made a three-day stop–
over in Tokyo. The eight leading
members of the Japanese Diet who
spent two weeks with us touring the
Middle East (oil regions) on an o.ffi-
cial government goodwill tour hos–
ted a dinner in my honor, telling me
they consider themselves my "Japa–
nese sons." That adds another
honor.
While in Tokyo, one afternoon,
one of the biggest of the Japanese
sumo wrestlers, known in Japan as
Takamiyama, carne to my hotel
room to see me. He is actually an
American citizen, Jesse Kuhaulua.
He is from Hawaii and is the only
non-Japanese ever to win a sumo
tournament championship. He re–
ceived a letter from the White
House by President Richard Nixon,
dated July 16, 1972, congratulating
him on his championship victory..
When 1 went to open the door of
my room to him, well, what 1 beheld
in the doorway was an experience of
a lifetime. His head almost touched
the top of the door (he is 6 feet 4
inches or taller). But his mountain–
ous frame just about filled the whole
doorway. He is simply huge - stu–
pendous - weighing sorne 385
pounds. One of my Japanese friends
brought him up. He sat beside me
on a wide
sofa,
and his huge frame
took up a full two seats of a three–
seat-wide sofa. 1 felt like a pigmy
beside him. We chatted for about an
hour, and he told us many things
about this unique Japanese sport.
