Every morning, the daily calendar of the words of Monk Jeongmok that brighten the mind
“When you are at peace within, happiness will descend like a flower.”

A ten-year-old calendar containing the words of Monk Jeongmok, who has provided comfort and encouragement to countless people as a warm and cozy guide, has been published.
We have collected messages of wisdom and insight that resonated deeply with us from the monk's sermons, lectures, and writings.
In particular, the paintings of artist Kang Mi-seon, who has been widely loved for her simple depictions of everyday scenes and objects, are added to provide a sense of coziness.

As one page of today turns, a new page of the morning begins.
Living each day is like turning the pages of a diary.
It conveys that only when we let go of regrets about the past and worries about the future, and focus solely on the present moment, can we truly experience happiness.


“Thoughts have weight, each with its own gravity.
Rather than dwelling on the past and worrying about the future, live each day lightly.
“Living well is the way to attract happiness.” _From the text

It's beautiful just the way it is.
You are wonderful just the way you are.
Just accept the fact that you are beautiful
You are already a beautiful person.

You will learn to love others properly.

A friend who gave me a comforting smile,
A colleague who comforted me with warm words,
The bus driver who safely took me to work,
The delivery man who delivered the items I needed,
My precious body that is alive and breathing right now.
People I'm always grateful for
It's by my side.

Don't make life too hard.
A short life that passes by in an instant,

Advice you don't want to hear, things you don't want to do,
People you don't want to meet, relationships that are full of conflict and clashes,
The painful reality,
What we want to avoid and run away from
Right there is the study of life
The answer is in there.

Guessing, analyzing the other person's mind,
Thinking it's telepathy, blaming everything,
Comparing yourself to others in everything,
Making negative assumptions about things that haven't even happened,
I can't stand it if it's not perfect.
Remember these seven things that keep you from living a happy life.

Leave the back door of the hermitage open to let the wind in.
When fiery anger arises, let the flames of anger flow
Keep the back door of your heart open.
