It is difficult to live in a society with many laws. Why are laws necessary? It is because society cannot be maintained without law. How did society become so dangerous that it was difficult to maintain it? It's because of ignorance. When no one teaches good teachings and no one wants to accept good teachings, society becomes governed by laws created by humans. No matter how much freedom is emphasized and many laws are made, it is of no use. If the people of the world are taught ‘conscience, justice, and love,’ no unfortunate thing will ever happen in that society even if there are no laws. In the end, that society will be able to transform into the most beautiful society.Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-70544451435670905632024-01-21T03:12:00.000-08:002024-01-21T03:12:18.688-08:00Basic and Essential Ability For Human Life The most basic and essential ability in human life is ‘the ability to see ‘what exists’ as it is.’ ‘What exists’ refers to all things that exist within oneself, all things around oneself related to oneself, or all things that are not directly related to oneself but exist in the universe.<br /><br /> If we were to express ‘the ability to see ‘what exists’ as it is’ in one word, it would be ‘truth(fact).’ The word truth is used so much, but it is safe to say that very few people actually have the truth.<br /><br /> Socrates knew one thing: he knew nothing. He lived trying to teach people about it, and was killed for the action. -People don't know that they don't know anything. Rather, people live under the illusion that they know too many facts. As can be seen from what happened to Socrates, if humans work hard through proper education to acquire the ability of truth, they will first realize that they do not know anything. They can reach the stage of knowing nothing. This stage is the very first stage on the path to truly gaining ‘the ability (truth) to see things as they are.’<br /><br /> Lao Tzu(老子) said that when people of low level hear the truth(law), they get angry, when people of middle level hear the truth, they are skeptical, and when people of high level hear the truth, they become happy. Lao Tzu was able to say this because he was able to see what exists in the world as it really is. Being able to see what exists in the world as it is is the same as saying that you can distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, in things in the world. If people work hard through proper education to obtain truth(the ability), they will move beyond the stage of knowing nothing and reach the stage where they can see what exists in the world as it really is. This is the second stage.<br /><br /> After attaining complete enlightenment through liberation, Shakyamuni lived his life to teach the truth to the people of the world. If people who have reached the second stage work hard through proper education, courage and love will rise within them and they will be able to convey what they have seen in the world to other people. If they continue to do these things, they will accumulate virtue(功德) and at the same time, a fire will be created within them and they will be able to burn off the karma they have accumulated. The third stage is to be able to convey the law (the truth of the world) like this.<br /><br /><br /> Almost all people in the world are unaware of their ignorance and are living in their own dreams. The things of the world are not determined by human dreams, but by the laws of cause and effect that exist within the things. The world is becoming increasingly dark and moving toward a period of change due to people living by relying on their dreams.Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-80078566516515631382023-10-24T06:48:00.003-07:002023-10-24T06:48:34.033-07:00We should not be deceived by ourselves Humans are taught from a young age not to deceive others. However, to be more precise, you should not deceive others, but you should not be deceived by others either. This is because if you are deceived, grudge will arise within you.<br /><br /> If we see or hear information that we do not know, we must first doubt the information and later find a way to verify the information to confirm its authenticity.<br /><br /> However, the real problem lies not with the method of verifying the information, but with the person doing the verification. Humans live in pursuit of desires or ideals. Desire and ideals prevent humans from seeing facts as they are. In the end, people are deceived because the information given is not properly verified.<br /><br /> Humans should not deceive others, but they should not be deceived either. In particular, you should not be deceived by yourself. In other words, you should not be deceived by your desires and ideals.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-2616987812555543522023-09-21T18:51:00.004-07:002023-10-04T18:25:22.975-07:00Banner for the trip to London in Nov. 2023 Everything that exists in the world comes into existence and changes according to the law of cause and effect and the law of repetition.<br><br> Our present (results) was created by what we said and did in the past and the circumstances we were in (causes).

In other words, when certain specific causes are mixed, a specific result determined according to the law is created.<br /><br /> The problem is that it is so difficult to know exactly what color I have. In other words, it is very difficult to know the countless things that exist in the world we live in as they are.<br /><br /> The bigger problem is that people don't know that it's so difficult to know about the things that exist in the world. This means that people need to question their idea of knowing something.<br /><br /> An even bigger problem is the fact that people don't care about the rightness or wrongness of their thoughts. Their words and actions based on false ideas are darkening the world.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-60815296573735140842023-07-02T23:50:00.004-07:002023-07-02T23:50:24.525-07:00How Things in the world Operate Mixing white and red makes pink. And depending on the concentration and amount of the two colors, different pinks are created. This phenomenon does not change under any circumstances.<br /><br /> Not only the case of mixing colors, but also the results that occur when any causes existing in the universe meet each other are always constant.<br /><br /> The important fact is that if you have the desired intensity and amount of pink, you just need to prepare white and red in the concentration and amount that can produce it. In other words, if there is a result required in individual life or society, it is necessary to create causes that can produce that result. Finding the exact way to create the cause and executing it properly is the only way to produce the desired result.<br /><br /> No matter how earnest, desperate, and firm someone's wishes, hopes, beliefs, and prayers are, the desired result will not be obtained unless they know the method and execute it properly to create the required causes. This is the principle the world goes around.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-10150100526006844102023-03-28T18:59:00.002-07:002023-03-28T18:59:09.849-07:00Facts, Information, and Knowledge 2023. 03. 29. Wed.<br /><br /> We often hear that we should read a lot of books. But I can hardly hear an explanation as to why we need to read a lot of books.<br /><br /> Here are three words: facts, information, and knowledge.<br /><br /> Facts refer to everything that exists in the world.<br /><br /> Information refers to news or data that a certain fact exists.<br /><br /> Knowledge is a collective term for the information that exists in the world that is accepted into oneself.<br /><br /> It is a fact that exists in the world, but if no one has discovered the fact, the information about the fact does not exist. Also, among countless pieces of information, those that are not accepted as one's own are not knowledge.<br /><br /> The saying that we need to read a lot of books needs a little correction. In other words, it should be said that we should read a lot of books that contain 'correct information'.<br /><br /> There is so much misinformation out there in the world. If you accept wrong information, you put wrong knowledge in yourself. The thoughts and judgments we make are based on the knowledge that exists within ourselves. For this reason, it is very difficult for those who contain false knowledge to make proper thoughts or judgments.<br /><br /> The unfortunate thing is that in today's world, it is very difficult to find a way to distinguish between correct information and incorrect information.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-59632986112681753272023-03-26T21:43:00.006-07:002023-03-26T21:43:35.546-07:00A Grim Reality It's a grim reality indeed.<br /><br /> Although it is a common problem for almost all mankind today, especially the members of this nation have a weak conscience, which is the light that illuminates them. Since the light that illuminates them is weak and it is dark, they themselves do not know what they are doing.<br /><br /> Also, although it is a common problem in almost all societies today, especially in this country, justice, the light that illuminates society, has almost disappeared. The light that illuminates society is weak and dark, so it is impossible to see what is going on in this society.<br /><br /> Because people are dark and society is dark, they do not know what they are doing or what is happening in society, so people are only chasing after desires or ideals. Any tool or means that can satisfy their desires or ideals is considered good, and anything contrary to it is considered evil.<br /><br /> This situation is getting worse as time goes by, so the future of this country is really bleak.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-86992316627154409092022-12-16T18:40:00.006-08:002022-12-16T18:40:33.076-08:00Enlightenment Lao Tzu said that when a person with low level of consciousness hears the truth, he curses, when a person with intermediate level of consciousness hears the truth, he is dubious, and when a person with high level of consciousness hears the truth, he rejoices.<br /><br /> There are good and bad sides to everything in the world. The supreme enlightenment has the highest value in itself, but at the same time it must face the worst frustration.<br /><br /> Enlightenment is the thing which enables people to live a better life. The enlightened person does the work of telling people the way to attain enlightenment. The enlightened one is cursed by the majority of people, who have low levels of consciousness.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-82837729586696159422022-12-14T19:57:00.000-08:002022-12-14T19:57:01.123-08:00Ability to discern The ability to discern things or facts in life is an essential element. However, in order to discern something, you must have the ability to see things as they are. You have to be able to see, so you can accurately recognize what you want to discern and find the exact criteria that make discernment possible.<br /><br /> It is so difficult to find someone with the right discernment ability in reality. Because people live their lives chasing their desires or ideals, they try to see what exists and discern it based on criteria from their desires or ideals.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-43435518356786786222022-11-17T19:34:00.004-08:002022-11-21T20:45:12.058-08:00Living is like solving a math problem Said the teachers of humanity.<br /><br /> "Life is like solving a math problem."<br /><br /> First, identify the problem as it is. Find a formula that is appropriate for solving the problem you have identified. Based on that formula, find the answer using appropriate tips.<br /><br /> Anyone who has done some math knows this, but it is not that difficult to find the answer if you understand the problem properly. In other words, finding out the problem as it is is the key to problem solving.<br /><br /> Just as you have to know the problem accurately in mathematics, you have to be able to know what exists in life as it is. The problem is that it is so difficult to recognize the things that exist in the world as they really are. It is not easy to understand things as they are, even when you see things happening right in front of your eyes, as well as what you hear through any means or someone.<br /><br /> In that sense, we must doubt about whether the things we think we know by hearing and seeing are consistent with the facts as they are. The things you know wrong make you make wrong thoughts and judgments about new things.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-68729050419043563082022-10-12T05:44:00.008-07:002022-11-17T19:13:38.479-08:00Truth(fact) What is truth? Truth means fact as it is.<br /><br /> What kind of person is a true person? A true person is the one who sees facts as they are and can say them as they are.<br /><br /> But just because you decide to live a true life doesn't mean you can do so. It is like, just because you want to become 10 centimeters taller doesn't mean you can grow taller that much.<br /><br /> Why do you have to lie? It is because you can't see facts as they are. Because you do not know the truth, that is, fact as it is, what you say is bound to be a lie, not the truth.<br /><br /> What does it mean to become a better person? it is that you make yourself truer. What is the way to make a better society? It is that more people make themselves become truer. However, in the present world, there is no interest in truth(fact) or the correct teaching of truth(fact).<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-5540420209365112972022-07-22T04:36:00.002-07:002022-07-22T04:36:09.086-07:00Good Teaching and A Good Teacher The master said to a professor at a prestigious university in England.<br /><br /> “There are no good teachings and no good teachers in England.”<br /><br /> Then the British professor exclaimed that there are good teachings and many good teachers in England.<br /><br /> Hearing this, the master asked him.<br /><br /> “What kind of teaching is a good teaching, and what kind of a teacher does a good teacher refer to?”<br /><br /> The professor didn't say anything.<br /><br /> The master told him<br /><br /> “A good teaching is a teaching that conveys what exists as it is, and a good teacher is a teacher who can teach what exists as it is.”<br /><br /> From then on, the professor's attitude became more cautious.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-49162565372481527492022-07-21T08:22:00.002-07:002022-07-21T08:22:14.114-07:00Confirmation There is a clear difference between the words of those who can see things of the world and the words of those who cannot see things of the world.

If you emphasize 'fact confirming' in front of people, they blame your lack of belief. However, beliefs without confirmation can lead to unfortunate consequences. Confirmation must be performed before belief.<br /> Confirmation is difficult and arduous. Confirmation must be made on the basis of objective criteria that no one can deny.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-1762248321274914072022-07-18T23:41:00.006-07:002022-07-18T23:41:50.775-07:00Repetition and Law of Cause and EffectThe world exists by the Repetition and the Law of Cause and Effect.<br /><br /> The Repetition refers to a phenomenon in which a seed grows and becomes a fruit, and the fruit becomes a seed again.<br /><br /> The Law of Cause and Effect means the phenomenon that according to all the causes the seed experiences, the corresponding fruit is produced.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-19689334274234665122022-07-18T07:17:00.006-07:002022-07-18T07:17:56.911-07:00Cause of Evil The cause of evil is ignorance.<br /> Because people are ignorant of the things that exist, they do not base themselves on the things that exist, but rely on their own thoughts to say and do wrong things that are different from the facts.

We use the name when talking about a fact or thing. The problem is that we often use names without properly knowing facts or things whose names represent.<br /><br /> Science and technology in modern society are highly developed, but the mental part is seriously regressing. On the surface, it seems that the mental part has achieved as highly as science and technology have advanced, but in reality it is not true. The fundamental cause, as mentioned above, is that the name (word) is used without properly knowing the facts or things it refers to.<br /><br /> Numerous beliefs, logics, theories, doctrines, and ideas have been created based on misunderstanding the names of the most basic things in human society (love, truth(Natural law), truth(facts), philosophy, religion, god, etc.). This is not different from the act of creating a formula by mistakenly reading ‘1’ as ‘2’ or ‘plus’ as ‘minus’ in the first step of creating a formula when creating a formula that describes a physical phenomenon that exists in the world.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-16304375004565193502022-01-03T23:12:00.003-08:002022-01-03T23:12:17.207-08:00The impossible is impossible.

All the unexpected or unintended things that happen to you (effects) are ultimately the result of your words and actions (causes).

The truth is the law of cause and effect. That is, given causes produce the corresponding effect. In fact, there is no need to call it a law. Simply the things that exist in the world (causes) create other things (effects).<br /> If there are things (effects) we want in our life, we can achieve them by creating the corresponding things (causes). The problem is that these things include good and bad, right and wrong. Of course, it would be most desirable to set a good result and create reasonable causes in the right way to achieve it. But this is really difficult and hard. You cannot see whether what you want is good or bad, and whether the way you create the proper causes for what you want is right or wrong, unless you can see things of the world for yourself, or learn how to see.<br />Bugun Choihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12355454586550787160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991519966699388695.post-56513089283239834382021-11-16T16:58:00.004-08:002021-11-16T16:58:22.412-08:00Standard In order to accurately measure length or weight, a correct ruler or scale is essential. Likewise, in order to properly judge things or affairs of the world, correct standards are essential.<br /> In today's reality, the above statement has become too meaningless. In most cases, the act itself of judging right or wrong about things or affairs of the world does not exist.
