Prologue
I am not the only one who shares the dream
In 2014 I visited a nine-year-old boy in Palestine,
who had just lost both his legs in an airstrike on Gaza.
I could do nothing but hold him in my arms and weep.
In that moment, a prayer was carved deep into my heart:
“May no child ever have to suffer like this.
May all humanity be united in a spirit of altruism.”
From that deep heartfelt wish, a flame was born.
“We light the “Flame of Hope” from Hiroshima
and let us pray for the world.”
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
“My special greeting goes to the members of the “Flame of Hope” pilgrimage as they seek to promote reconciliation and peace… ”
Pope Leo XIV
Just imagine for a moment.
Sacred flames burning across the world—
fires that have been passed down through time,
carrying prayers from generation to generation.
The flames of the world,
be merged together.
If all those flames were united as one,
where human beings put prayers
together with harmony.
And it was installed to burn eternally
at holy places across the earth.…
Would it not become a symbol of unification of all human beings?
Would it not become a hope for all people?
Eternal Flame of Hope

I believe….
I am not the only one
who shares the dream
that humanity can be united
by a spirit of altruism.
“Ryokyu san is my dear friend.
Unfortunately , he dreams everyday .
And like a fisherman he hooks people like me. (laughter )”
