Healing from Within

Ryuho Okawa, a globally renowned best-selling author and revered World Teacher, is the founder and CEO of the Happy Science Group. He was born on July 7, 1956, in Tokushima, Japan. From a young age, Okawa demonstrated remarkable self-discipline, humility, and a strong desire to help others. His journey took a transformative turn on March 23, 1981, when he attained Great Enlightenment.

Despite this profound experience, his humility remained unwavering, fueling his mission to share a universal Truth that unites spirituality, pragmatism, religion, and science into one cohesive source.

Okawa graduated from the University of Tokyo with a degree in law and began his career at a Tokyo-based trading company. He was soon assigned to the company's New York head office as a Finance Officer.

In 1986, Okawa left his prestigious career to establish Happy Science. Since then, the organization has grown into a global movement with a presence in over 198 countries. He has authored more than 3,300 books, which have been translated into 42 languages.
