 Human efforts to find meaning create tension rather than tranquility of the mind.

We need to stop asking questions about the meaning of life and instead think about ourselves, every hour of every day, being questioned by life. ​ A life with no expectations... The answer must be found in the right actions and the right attitude, not in words or meditation. ​ Life is ultimately about finding the right answers to your questions and taking on the responsibility to fulfill the tasks set before you. ​ The meaning of life cannot be found comprehensively.

Demonstrate wisdom through experience and sensitivity.

 Demonstrate wisdom through experience and sensitivity. ​ The most important formula of knowledge in medieval Europe was Knowledge = Bible × logic.

However, this formula has one major drawback: it cannot address questions of value and meaning. ​ Human society cannot survive without such value judgments. Here, humanism offered an alternative. As humans gain confidence in themselves, a new formula for acquiring ethical knowledge has emerged. Knowledge = Experience × Sensitivity If we want to know the answer to any ethical question, we need to bring out our inner experiences and observe them with...

Let go of your heart for true satisfaction.

 Let go of your heart for true satisfaction. ​ ​ ​ True satisfaction is not in owning what you want, but in being free from what you want. Freedom from desire, not freedom of desire. ​ Realizing that happiness does not exist in the world and letting go of that desire. ​ If the first truth that Gautama Buddha realized was 'absence of happiness', His second truth was 'Recognize that there is no happiness in the world, and put down your desire for happiness'. Because that is the path to true happiness. ​ ​ What we want is pain. Attempts to own the longing elephant, to steer, thinking, All planning is bound to be a cause of suffering. ​ There is no end to what you want, Freedom from what you want has no end. ​ let go of your heart Come to true satisfaction. ​

Heaven and earth are equal to my age, and all things are one in the end. ​ ​ In the story of the vast universe, In the ever-growing concept of time and space infinitely weak and insignificant, You meet a human being who is not a single point in the universe. ​ on the expansive beach Large boulders collide with each other and break, Until the fragments collide with the waves again and become fine sand... A sandy field that would not have been created without the help of 'persistence of time'. Through the sand, you can feel the passage of time and realize that the world is much older than mankind. ​ Open the door to my world and fly to the ends of the universe, Sit on the light and travel to space at the speed of light. Traveling through time, going back and forth between the past and the future, ​ Is this the place of God? ​   ​ ​ "Space and time are intertwined. If we cannot see th...

chaos and mazes

 Those who have never been trapped in chaos and mazes do not know that thought are born in pain. ​ "When one looks inside himself as if he is looking into the infinite universe, he who has the Milky Way within himself realizes how irregular all the Milky Way is.

Everything repeats itself without any purpose or meaning. But we do not live for a purpose, but for life itself. ​ It is to give eternal value and dignity to the 'here and now'. That's why we want to live this life over and over again. ​ "There is no coincidence. Everything that happens has meaning." ​
