Farming Is Not Just For

Although Natural Farming - Since It Can Teach People To Cultivate A Deep Understanding Of Nature - May Lead To Spiritual Insight, It's Not Strictly A Spiritual Practice.

People Should Relate To Nature As Birds Do. Birds Don't Run Around Carefully Preparing Fields, Planting Seeds, And Harvesting Food. They Don't Create Anything . . . They Just Receive What Is There For Them With A Humble And Grateful Heart.

In My Opinion, If 100% Of The People Were Farming It Would Be Ideal. If Each Person Were Given One Quarter-acre, That Is 1 1/4 Acres To A Family Of Five, That Would Be More Than Enough Land To Support The Family For The Whole Year. If Natural Farming Were Practiced, A Farmer Would Also Have Plenty Of Time For Leisure And Social Activities Within The Village Community. I Think This Is The Most Direct Path Toward Making This Country A Happy, Pleasant Land.

I Started Natural Farming After The War With Just One Small Plot, But Gradually I Acquired Additional Acreage By Taking Over Surrounding Pieces Of Abandoned Land And Caring For Them By Hand.

Unless People Can Become Natural People, There Can Be Neither Natural Farming Nor Natural Food.
