Suicide is the third leading cause of death among youth, and the second leading cause of death among college students. The will and desire to live among youths is dwindling from the onslaught of the psychological forces of hopelessness, meaninglessness and powerlessness. They would rather end their life than face the circumstances and conditions that life has to offer them. What a sad and disturbing condition of humanity when human consciousness is absent of the beauty and dynamics of being human. Human progress alone is astounding enough to conjure interest in the revelation of human destiny. But without sufficient education, especially human history, how can youth of today experience the phenomenon of human existence.

I am an American Zen Master. My credentials comes from a 36 year journey of ascetic life in order to achieve soul consciousness, Satori (enlightenment) and Nirvana (spiritual serenity) in the most dangerous, complex and fast lane social culture on earth. Zen is the way of spiritual liberation. It is the detachment of worldly influence upon the spirituality of human life, and the freedom of the ego's obstruction of the soul's destined control of the human vehicle (body). My Suicide Alert Movement does not claim to stop youth from ending their life. Once an individual has lost the will and desire to live, without changing their will and desire toward living there is no solution to suicide. We are somewhat unaware of the fact that suicide and self-destruction are conditions of evolution. The moment any facet of creation no longer serves its destined purpose it self-destructs in the interest of a greater creation. I take a strong interest in youth sentencing themselves to death, because they are deprived of destined purpose. Destined purpose makes human life fulfilling. Fulfilling one's destined purpose in life is highly rewarding. If youths were being highly rewarded for the life they lead, suicide would be an obstacle of human happiness and avoided at all cost. With the wisdom that has heretofore been mentioned, I approach my Suicide Alert Movement with a sincere attempt to raise the consciousness of youths toward reasons to live. In my Zen lectures I give a detailed description of the dynamism, mystique and beauty of being human.

In Las Vegas I had a radio talk show where youths or their parents could call in anonymously and discuss suicidal thoughts and feelings. I followed up the talk show with street interviews of confident leads of suicidal intentions. At this time suicide in Las Vegaswas leading the nation. Youth were jumping to their death from one of the highest structures in the country. When the leading high school running back in the state of Nevada, and extremely popular personality of his school decided to commit suicide in his garage, a cloud of mourn brought criticism to my interviews and talk show by high school counselors. I was asked very respectfully by a counselor who was aware of my interviews on campus to relinquish my project for the moment in respect to the school's latest tragedy.

In my confidential interviews with youth and my extensive research of teen suicide I have discovered a disturbing root cause of so many suicide attempts and successes. Youth are caught in the mist of a whirlwind of confusion regarding their identity, both socially and sexually. They are victims of a sexual revolution in which they are pawns in the game of human justice verses political correctness. They feel they have no one to turn to who understands and empathizes with their emotional and psychological situation. Rather than face moral judgment from their religious community, disappointment of their parents and rejection of their friends, youths reluctantly conclude that no life is better than a life of hell. From my in-depth understanding of what the contemplation of suicide puts youths through, and how they extremely reach out for help, just the availability of hot lines of consoling communication and group therapy sessions with conventional psychologists are no longer considered viable solutions toward the highly evolved minds of today's youths. They are in desperate need of information and action. I have made plans to help youths who still have a flickering flame of will to live by encouraging them to change their lifestyle and perspective about life. I will offer youths who are serious about making their life worthwhile an experiential education in the practice of Zen at my Nung-Budo-Ky Retreat Center. This dynamic seminar of spirituality and human reality will focus on self-development (self-consciousness, self-discipline, self-confidence, self-worth, self-respect and self-esteem). Youths will learn that human consciousness and its progression is the key to human destiny. And that making the practice of meditation a life habit of Divine communication will persistently raise their level of consciousness. To reach the consciousness of the existence of the human soul and the Over-Soul (God) is the epitome of Zen practice.
