The Kifubon project provides you a wonderful opportunity to directly share Mr. Prem Rawat’s message with people around Japan and the world. We appreciate your generous support for past Kifubon projects and excited to announce the next stage of giving which will feature Mr. Rawat’s book, "Breath" Japanese version.

Through the Kifubon Project, Mr. Prem Rawat's Japan office (Bunya) is donating his heartfelt books to people in need in orphanages and prisons, as well as to public libraries in Japan and around the world. Why not join this worthy initiative to bring peace and hope to these places?
The Japanese version of "Breath" has achieved its first goal and has been donated to 571 child welfare facilities across Japan. We are grateful for the understanding and support of so many people.
Our second goal is to donate this book to 3,316 public libraries across Japan. We will give Mr. Rawat's books as a top priority to public libraries in areas that have suffered major natural disasters, such as the Noto Peninsula earthquake on January 1, 2024.
Mr. Rawat's friends in Japan and around the world have already donated 15,011 books to child welfare facilities, children's hospitals, prisons, and public libraries. His book has been well received, and Bunya has already received letters of thanks from over 2,500 people. The letters include comments such as:
"The story of the king and the mouse was interesting!"
"I learned for the first time the importance of breathing."
"It's amazing how the gardener has made good use of the problem of the bucket with a hole in it."
"I want to meet Mr. Rawat, who has been talking about peace of mind all over the world for over 50 years!"
"I read this picture book to my children every night before bed!"
Why not support this project and spread Mr. Rawat's message of "peace of mind" to children all over Japan? Please share this message with your family and friends.
