The author, the third Shinbashira, begins this volume by describing a journey that Oyasama undertook while leading her family along, a journey that was "intended . . . to provide a clear demonstration of the Truth of Heaven -- the truth that happiness and unhappiness are actually determined by the way the mind is handled and settled, and not by our environment or degree of wealth."
