 What will you do for next genreation?

You can get advice and advice from real-life experiences.


This is why society needs a network of relationships with people with a lot of experience, different from me.


If there is nothing to be learned from someone who has lived longer and experienced more than us, it is safe to say that society is doomed.


A society can be a 'society' because it has continuity.


Having continuity means that the experiences and wisdom of the members of the society are constantly renewed and can be handed down to future generations. In order to adapt to and change the constantly changing environment, on the one hand, people need the experience and wisdom of their predecessors, and on the other hand, they have to change it.


It is foolish to stick to the old things, but when you do not inherit any wisdom and experience from your ancestors or do not want to do so, the society appears to be connected, but in fact, it is cut off and it is just a completely different society.


In this respect, it is a miracle that society manages to survive. Society also gambles to make this miracle happen. A good example of this is Japan's Ise Jingu, which is completely rebuilt once every 20 years.


The reason they demolish an intact building and move it to a new location is that what they have to transmit is not the building itself, but the building technology. The carpenter who participated in the construction of Ise Jingu must put all of his strength into creating the most wonderful work and at the same time pass on the technique to his descendants. No matter how good a carpenter is, if he alone retains his skill and fails to pass it on to future generations, his skill will disappear in his time, and Ise Jingu will also become a building that ends in his time.


Who in our society is struggling to pass on their experiences to the next generation?


What kind of experience will I pass on to future generations?


Do individuals who are members of society have lessons to draw from their own lives?

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.

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...
