Unbiased center, detachment.

 Unbiased center, detachment.


​


​


Everyone has emotions of joy and sorrow in their hearts.


A calm and stable state in which it has not yet been revealed is called 'medium'.


Since 'middle' is the good nature given by heaven, it is the foundation of the world.


​


Harmony is when emotions of joy and sorrow are expressed in order and harmonized.


Emotions are done according to the right principle, and anger becomes a universal principle to be followed in people's lives.


For people to follow the right way and reach 'neutralization', it is to perfectly protect the nature of heaven.


​


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

​


Although 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.


Sometimes they suffer from great difficulties because they cannot control their emotions, and sometimes they create a disease of the mind by keeping their emotions silent.


​


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 go too far or biased, that is, putting it in the middle, is the basis for controlling emotions.


To put '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.

Detachment is not about becoming blunt, but learning an unbiased center.

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. 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.

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...
