Macrobiotic living is the process of changing ourselves so that we can eat anything we like without fear of becoming ill it enables us to live a joyful life during which we can achieve anything we choose.

Only those who see that the two sides of all phenomena, visible and invisible, are front and back or beginning and end of one reality can embrace any antagonistic situation, see its complementarity , and help others to do the same, thereby establishing peace and harmony.

The individual who no longer has a rigid mind has found freedom. Life can be so easy. Refuse to let go and you are a person drowning the more you struggle, the faster you sink.

He who thinks that macrobiotic living is merely a cure for physical ailments, however, can never really be helped. It is not a new medicine to stop pain or suffering, but rather a teaching that goes to the source of pain and eradicates it.

Some people think that macrobiotic philosophy is no more than the teaching of a diet - the eating of brown rice, carrots, and gomashio (sesame salt), others imagine that it is summed up in the statement, Don't eat cake and sugar. How far from the truth!
