Into the book
If we let go of all judgment and discrimination, this is all there is.
Now everything is perfect.
It is not perfect because it is perfect, but it is perfect because it is imperfect.
If you don't make a problem out of it, there won't be a problem.
If you don't seek happiness separately, this kind of complete happiness is always there.
--- From "How to Open Your Mind Without Obsession"
The very concepts of right and wrong, good and bad, are actually created in our heads.
But we cling to this illusion and cling to it.
It's painful when you don't get what you want, and it's hard when something you want to avoid comes along.
Ultimately, the source of suffering is not reality, but our 'thoughts' that interpret reality.
--- From "Escaping the Trap of Thought"
The world is already giving us so much love.
Dazzling sunlight, a warm breeze, a warm meal… We are constantly being cared for within it.
The whole world is alive with a kind of acting connection.
Not by force, but just flowing.
Isn't it really cool when you do everything and still don't get any rewards for it?
That's the most sophisticated, hip way to love.
--- From "The Moment When Mercy Becomes Hip"
A wise person is not swayed by the values established by others, but reflects on where those standards came from.
A fool values things outside himself and suffers when he cannot have them, but a wise man suddenly turns around and examines the heart, which is the source of all things.
--- From "I Create My Own Brand"
Pain is not just pain.
It's a signal that we need a change.
If we don't listen, the signal will only get stronger.
(…) Rather, pain allows me to understand myself more deeply.
Let's read the signals that pain is sending us and find ways to take care of ourselves.
Doing so will not make the pain go away, but it will make it unnecessary.
--- From "Pain Meditation"
For those who are trapped in the thought that 'there is reincarnation' or the thought that 'there is no reincarnation', you can break both sides and get rid of the delusion that is biased towards one side.
Inevitably, we have no choice but to speak in a moderate way, saying that reincarnation is neither real nor non-real.
Is there reincarnation or not? "The weather is really nice today."
--- From "The truth is not revealed in words"
The world is one great harmony created by various relationships.
Every being lives in its own way and dances to its own rhythm.
Flowers have a time to bloom and a time to fall.
Some people grow and some people stop.
Everything is just 'that'.
How beautiful it is.
Is it harmonious?
Is it peaceful?
Now everything is perfect.
It is not perfect because it is perfect, but it is perfect because it is imperfect.
If you don't make a problem out of it, there won't be a problem.
If you don't seek happiness separately, this kind of complete happiness is always there.

Publisher's Review
How to live an anxious day with enlightenment
Finding the center of my life as taught by Venerable Beopsang!
We are swayed by emotions dozens of times a day.
Sometimes I feel excited, and sometimes I feel depressed for no reason.
Some days, bright energy fills my whole body, while other days, a dark shadow falls over me and gloomy thoughts linger in my mind.
The problem is that most people think of these unfixed, flowing emotions as 'me'.
Without even knowing that this was the beginning of suffering.
The author, Venerable Beopsang, shares mind training with over 1,000 people online and offline every week through the online mind study group 'Moktak Sori' and the YouTube channel 'Venerable Beopsang's Moktak Sori', which has 170,000 subscribers.
This book is a compilation of forty-two themes that organize the concerns raised there, and is a book of mind study that will transform today's frustrating and anxious days into a day filled with enlightenment.
The author, who encountered Buddhism during his school days when life was extremely difficult and his life changed 180 degrees, expressed his wish to share his experience with all those who are struggling, especially young people, to teach them how to escape suffering, and this book is the result of that effort.
If you take it out and read it whenever your heart wavers in life, you will find comfort in the shadows gradually disappearing from your life and a quiet peace settling down with every breath.
“There was a wish that I had cherished in my heart for a long time.
It was a vow to teach all those who are struggling, especially young people, how to escape suffering, and now it feels like the seed has finally blossomed.
Our lives are not a mud pit that we must struggle through, but a beautiful playground that we must enjoy every moment with emotion.
“Just as the resonance I felt then became my path today, I hope that somewhere in this book, all of you who are me will find relief from your pain and a vivid flower will suddenly bloom in your hearts.” _From the ‘Preface’
“You won’t believe it, but we’re perfect just the way we are.”
A clear answer from Monk Beopsang that will solve 42 daily worries at once!
This book contains many of the common concerns that many people have, such as love, pain, happiness, suffering, self-loathing, and marriage.
The book presents forty-two themes based on episodes that everyone has experienced at least once, and offers Monk Beopsang's uniquely clear and simple solutions.
It doesn't matter if you don't know anything about Buddhist doctrine.
Rather, it was explained in a friendly manner, tailored to the level of readers who are opening the unfamiliar door of Buddhism for the first time, so that they can focus solely on the issue of 'themselves' rather than religion.
Furthermore, you can scan the QR code to listen to a video lecture on the topic to study it in more depth.
In short, this is a book that, the more you read it, the more wisdom you acquire, the less suffering you experience, and the more clearly you can naturally practice the clearest images.
“If you let go of all judgment and discrimination, this is all there is to it.
Now everything is perfect.
We are perfect not because we are perfect, but because we are imperfect.
If you don't make a problem out of it, there won't be a problem.
Acknowledging and accepting this simple thing is the beginning of mind training.” _From ‘How to Create a Mind Without Attachment’
