Into the book
When Buddha was active in ancient India, his various sayings were memorized and recited by his disciples and passed down as scriptures.
The passages in this book are taken from those very ancient scriptures.
Among the passages that can be understood by anyone from high school students to grandparents, I selected the ones I particularly liked and translated them into a super translation.
--- From the "Introductory Note"
If you get depressed or discouraged by a competitor's unpleasant behavior, the competitor will laugh and be happy when he sees it and say, "That's great."
Therefore, those who know true profit and loss do not lament or grieve, but maintain composure, no matter how unpleasant the situation may be.
The person who sees your gentle and soft expression, just like before, will be disappointed and say, 'Tch, what a disappointment.'
The best way to make your enemy worry is to remain gentle and not angry, that's all.
--- From the "Jeongjibu Gyeongjeon"
There are people who tell you how much they work, how much they've accomplished, how well they know celebrities, and how great their job is, without you even asking.
If you don't let go of that desire to reveal yourself, people will increasingly distance themselves from you.
--- From "Gyeongjip 782"
Don't make someone you can't stand by wanting them so much.
When the person you want and want so badly that you can't stand it doesn't turn out the way you want.
There comes a time when you have to lose that person.
Your heart will be filled with extreme pain.
If you break free from the curse of endless craving for 'I want, I want to have', your mind will be free and unfettered by anything.
--- From “Dharmagumitta 211”
A wise person knows that this insatiable obsession is a 'powerful bondage'.
Even though the bonds may seem loose, they are actually tightly and tenaciously entangled, making it extremely difficult to break free. However, those who have broken free from those bonds are free from the desires of wanting to do this or that.
--- From “Dhammapada Sutra 345, 346”
No matter how hard the wind blows, the mountain does not move.
Learn from the mountain's example, and whether others criticize you as a "bad guy" or praise you as a "cool person," turn a deaf ear and maintain a calm and unwavering mind.
--- From “Dharmagumitta 81”
Nothing seems more beautiful than reality and nothing stimulates desire like a flower blooming high on a mountain, out of reach.
Whenever you long for and desire something that is intangible and seems to not exist in this world, a painful stimulus torments you.

Publisher's Review
Emotions, relationships, happiness, attachment, desire, recognition, good karma, death… .
The foundation of Eastern philosophy for 2500 years
The Buddha's teachings are written down with great care.
Emotions, relationships, obsessions, recognition, desires, happiness, death… .
This book, which contains 190 sayings of Buddha grouped into 12 themes, provides comfort to modern people tired of the complexities of life while also imparting essential life wisdom.
The structure of this book is as follows.
The author personally selected 190 passages, which were then categorized into twelve topics and arranged in order from Part 1 to Part 12.
In the first half, I have placed things that can be read lightly with an everyday mind, and in particular, I have placed words that will calm the 'anger' that destroys happiness in the first chapter.
You don't necessarily have to read and copy from the beginning, but it would be great to start by washing away the toxins of 'anger' in your heart with clear water.
As the book progresses, it includes passages that transcend the common worldview or human-centered, ordinary perspective.
Going against the brainwashing called common sense and weakening its power is the process of removing the dirt from the mind and creating a clean mind.
The last chapter deals with 'death'.
Schopenhauer, a German philosopher, was deeply fascinated by Eastern philosophy.
He focused on reading Eastern philosophy from a young age and said he could find answers to life in the words of Buddha.
Friedrich Nietzsche, the philosopher known as the intellectual of Europe, is also known to have sympathized with the Buddha's words more than anyone else, and world-renowned actor Keanu Reeves is also famous for living his life while reflecting on the Buddha's teachings.
The Buddha's words gave him great strength whenever he faced great trials.
If you can become someone who can look into your own mind and control it by transcribing the Buddha's words, translated into simple and easy modern language, for 10 minutes a day, you will no longer waste your life living someone else's life.
Buddha was a great philosopher before becoming a religious person.
“The teachings of Buddha are cognitive science and psychology,
“It is a very practical way to train the mind.”
Buddha, whose real name is Siddhartha Gautama.
A man born as a prince of the Shakya tribe, but later called Shakyamuni or Shakyamuni.
This book contains the words he wanted to convey to the world from the time he was born as a human until he died.
When Buddha was active in ancient India, his various sayings were memorized and recited by his disciples and passed down as scriptures.
The passages in this book are taken from those very ancient scriptures.
A Brahman priest who was impressed by the Buddha once came to him and said, 'I want to renounce my religion and become your disciple.'
To this the Buddha replied:
“As a priest, you are doing religious work of offering rites to the believers.
If you throw your work away and come to me, that would be truly irresponsible.
“I would like you to continue working as you are now, and come to me to learn meditation when you have free time.”
Here we can see that there is no need to deny other religions in order to receive the teachings of the Buddha.
Buddha indirectly says that what he teaches is not a religion.
If the Buddha's teachings are a 'religion', then other religions are an obstacle to practicing them.
Because religion claims that 'only this is right.'
But what he teaches is not 'uniqueness'.
Rather, it is closer to psychological training to control the mind.
Because it does not have a religious color, anyone of any religion can use it.
