Maybe this is the limit of 'compassion' or 'love'.

 extremes of love.


Real love based on sensitivity to pain always hits the other person.



As if performing a rite of passage through the suffering of family and neighbors,


Have you ever made them heavier with clumsy words of consolation?


The words 'Cheer up' and 'Fighting' that I spit out like an idea thinking it was sincere


Could it not have been a contemplative declaration and a callous declaration to someone at times?


If you love, you should be able to feel the other person's pain.


A person who feels the other person's pain and heaviness to the point where they cannot even say 'Fighting' may feel more painful and heavier than the person concerned. Only then will the miracle of love be born.


I should not fall into the arrogance of being helpful to someone and making someone happy.


To live is to be a nuisance to other beings in some way.


The best thing I can do for another person is at least make it less difficult for him or her because of me.


Just because it exists, it can only aggravate someone's pain, but nevertheless, it is necessary to try to minimize the pain.


Sometimes there is no way to relieve the pain of a loved one.


If you are helpless in the face of the pain of a loved one, there can be no more difficult situation.


Even though it is impossible to alleviate the pain of the person you love, it is not difficult to take it with your whole body without turning your head away from it, diluting it with words, and with your whole body.


Maybe this is the limit of 'compassion' or 'love'.

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.

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...
