Three ways to make life more enjoyable.

 Three ways to make life more enjoyable.


In order to live well in the world, you need to handle three relationships well.


First of all, it is the relationship between people and nature.


The second is the relationship between people, and the third is the relationship of contradiction and equilibrium between thoughts and emotions.


Life can be enjoyable if you handle these three relationships well. Otherwise, life becomes hard.


Humans are originally in the category of Mother Nature. However, after mankind self-proclaimed as the 'prime of all things', it began to stand alone from Mother Nature. Sometimes, it is at odds with nature. All resources related to human food, clothing and shelter come from nature. So it is inevitable to get something from nature. How you get it is so important.


There are two means.


The peaceful way and the coercive way.


The modern world sees nature as an object of 'conquest' and takes the latter method.


There are traces showing that there is a limit to the forgiveness of nature, such as environmental pollution, imbalance of ecology, destruction of the ozone layer, and extinction of animals and plants.


Nature is not an object to be conquered, but a shift in the perspective of 'one thousand and one unity', a companion that mankind must protect and walk together.



Relationships with people require sincerity and an attitude of humanity.


Integrity is dealing with others with genuine feelings and sincerity.


Humanity is patience and forgiveness.


The 'Baekbeon-Jamgi', which was introduced by Jang crafts during the Tang Dynasty, is a historically famous example.


It is a famous story of 'Baekin-in', where the emperor came and asked, "How do nine generations live happily in one house?" and a Jang craftsman wrote 100 characters for the word 'in', which means 'endurance'.


Contradictions caused by thoughts and emotions in the mind usually stem from selfishness and idle thoughts.


There is only one way to resolve such a contradiction.


It's about getting rid of selfishness.


"Speak out with simplicity, and reach far-off places with quietness." - Zhuge Liang


Then you will reach a higher level.

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.

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...
