The final ideology of Buddhism, mercy.

 Love for others stems from sensitivity to pain.


The final ideology of Buddhism, mercy.


Mercy is a Chinese translation of the Sanskrit 'Maitri-Karuna'.


'Mytree' means 'friendship', and 'Karuna' means 'pain the pain of others'.


In other words, mercy is the feeling of hurting the other person's misfortune or suffering in an equal relationship.


The insight that I and the other person are both or equally unhappy or in pain is predicated on the word 'mercy'.


To feel pain, and to try to alleviate it somehow, is mercy. Therefore, if you understand that everything is suffering as a nihilism or pessimism, you do not fully understand the teachings of Siddhartha. Rather, trying to alleviate the pain because you have felt it, that is mercy.


To be alive means to be able to feel pain or pain.


To be alive is to feel hunger, to feel lonely, to feel pain and cold.


What weakens one's sufferings rather than strengthens them, if not self-love?



The same is true for others. If someone else's pain or suffering feels like mine, that other person is already my body. Amazing things happen when you feel the pain or suffering of others as your own. We can no longer make him suffer. To kill an animal or to pluck a flower branch, you must not feel their pain.


What is important is the sensitivity to feel the pain of others, that is, the sensitivity to pain. This is the root of love that ordinary us have, even if the term mercy is not mentioned.


Love for others is nothing without pain sensitivity.


This is because love is the will and emotion to alleviate the suffering of others, that is, to promote the happiness of others.



Hunger, loneliness...


Whatever it is, the suffering of others is engulfed in love.


'Cause I'm hungry and sick more than I'm lonely


It is love that brings the hunger and loneliness of others into my own and my toil.

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...
