 To learn detachment, an unbiased centre.


Everyone has feelings of joy and sorrow in the human heart. A calm and stable state in which it has not yet been revealed is called 'medium'. The middle is the good nature given by heaven, so it is the foundation of the world. And when emotions of joy and sorrow are expressed in order and harmonized, it is called 'woe'. In other words, emotions are done according to the right principle, and anger becomes a universal principle to be followed in people's lives.


For a person to attain neutrality by following the right way, it is to perfectly protect the nature of heaven.


If a person keeps the heaven-given nature well and practices it in his life according to the right principle, his life will become stable and grow in harmony. The world will also become a world in harmony with each other.



Though the mind is within me, it is as if it were not mine.


In our daily life, there are things that constantly stimulate emotions, and there are people who make those events. Things happen that shake your heart and make you lose your mind. If you can't control your emotions, you may experience great difficulties by releasing them, and conversely, if you keep your emotions silent, you may become a disease of the mind.


If you want to control your emotions, you must first control the state of your emotions before they appear, that is, your usual mind.


If your mind in everyday life is biased or crooked, you cannot respond harmoniously to external reactions.


Keeping one's mind straight and right so that it does not become excessive or biased, that is, putting it in the middle, is the basis for controlling emotions.


To put the 'middle' in the heart is to keep the fundamentals and to keep the good nature. In this case, emotions of joy and sorrow can be harmoniously revealed.


Studying is essential for this.


“What God commands is called nature, following nature is called the Way, and cultivating the Way is called teaching.” - Moderate


Detachment is not about becoming blunt but learning an unbiased centre.

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
