Until we think it's too late,


Sometimes we don't talk about our winds and fears until it's really too late.


​


Thinking about death in advance makes life much sweeter.


When your loved one is gasping for their last breath, there is no room for other thoughts.


At that time, my eyes only darkened, and no famous or prayerful words came to mind.


Even if it comes to mind, it doesn't help at all.


​


Most of us are still vaguely thinking about death, but at some point we realize that we are going to die, the most precious thing to anyone and nothing that can be replaced by anything else.


It is frightening just to think about it, but this insight that passes by in an instant changes our lives.


Knowing that the body always perishes, knowing that we must leave this world, we change.


The moment you truly realize that fact, you feel the shock and sweet happiness of being electrocuted at the same time.


The beauty of porcelain is within me.

​


Human curiosity is nothing more than a curiosity felt in a leisurely moment when death is not imminent.


The existence of contradictions that the mind admits but cannot accept with the heart...


We cover our eyes and live in half-denying death.


But all humans are afraid of death.


Concealing death is not universal, but fear of death is extremely common.


​


Acceptance occurs when rejection no longer works.


Contemplating death is actually contemplating resistance.


The death of the body is nothing more than the painless annihilation of the separated self, and our essence extends infinitely like outer space.


​


"The death we fear the most is actually nothing, because when we exist, death does not come, and when death comes, we do not exist."


- Epicurus


​


After extinction, there is no regret for extinction.


There's no reason to be afraid of things that don't even exist.


In the state of nothingness, there is no awareness, no consciousness, no memory.

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....

alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self.

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold. He was obsessed with the myth of the self and its treasure, but did not try to live the myth himself. ​ There is only one way to learn, to learn through action. God created this world so that the teachings and wonderful wisdom of the soul can be realized through the visible, and he calls it 'action'. Everything behind the earth gives enlightenment. If you look into even a single grain of sand with love, you can dis...

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...
