Preface
During my life of one-half century， I have experienced and observed the miseries
of world war， together with the misery of present-day society--the various dlsem，
and poverty， greed and selfishness， failure and difficulties， anger and hatred，
discrimination and prejudice.
In my youth， l was inspired with the dream of realizing world peace through
many possible measures， including the establishment of a World Federation. Ho
ever， through the process of maturing， 1 have become able to see that world peac
can be achieved only through the reconstruction of humanity， or the resurrec-
tion of man， from current degenerative trends which have prevailed throughout
the world， increasing with the development of modern civilization.
At the same time， l was able to have an enlightening experience during medita
tion， which revealed universal and eternal life. I have also had the opportunity
to deepen my understanding of ancient oriental philosophies and religions， whicl
should be combined together with the modern occidental thought and way of
life. In this regard I am grateful for the inspired teaching of George Ohsawa and
many other present-day philosophers， as well a.s ancient spiritual， philosophical
and scientific thinkers.
All miseries in human affairs come from our personal incomprehension of the
order of the universe， or we may say， our ignorance of ourselves. From this igno
rance we misguide our daily way of life in our dietary practice， social relations，
and mental attitude as well as spiritual comprehension.
Life is one infinite universe itself， and our way of life should be simple and
practical， according to the order of the infinite universe. Realization of health an
happiness is the easiest and simplest way. On the basis of this understanding， I
have begun to spread the way of life which e~eryone can practice at any time as
simplest means to achieve health and happiness， freedom and peace--known as
the macrobiotic way of life.
Together with the spread of the way of life for humanity for one peaceful wor
I have encouraged the adaptation of several traditional ways of physical， mental
and spiritual development， namely， oriental medicine， acupuncture， moxibustion
shiatsu massage， palm-healing， meditation， and mental and spiritual exercises. In
order to reinforce our own development， I also began to introduce an ancient m~
robiotic practice， D6-ln， in the United States about ten years ago. I am grateful
to Mr. Jacques DeLangre and Mr. Jean Bernard Rishi for their respective books
on D6-In， which introduced part of these exercises. However， the D6-ln which I
introduced was a partial exercise， mainly related to energizing our physic~il and
mental vitality， and did not fully explain other aspects of D6-ln which are more
spiritually oriented. 1 have been obliged for the past several years to introduce
the general scale of the entire scope of D6-1n exercises.
It has been necessary to rediscover and reconstitute the D6-ln exercises becaus，
these ancient macrobiotic exercises were largely lost in many areas， although som
