Description
Book Introduction
Words from the Venerable Beopjeong that should be engraved in your heart
A record of wisdom gained from reflecting on life throughout one's life
Everyone dreams of a worthwhile life.
But it is not something that is given just because you wish for it.
A life with true meaning, one that can never be achieved through material wealth or social prestige alone, is the life we should pursue.
This book suggests a way to live a life that is honorable to oneself, meaningful to others, and useful to society.
This book is a collection of essays by the respected monk Beopjeong, who practiced a life of non-possession, and selects valuable sentences from his writings that can help lead a valuable life, and interprets their meaning from a modern perspective.
It contains themes that deal with the essence of life, such as 'life and living', 'love and happiness', 'natural law and order', 'truth and freedom', and 'peace and coexistence'.
It offers direction for life to those who carefully turn the pages of a precious book, and imparts wisdom that can be put into practice in everyday moments.
For those who strive to retain the essence of life even in their busy daily lives, this book will serve as a deeply resonant guide.
I hope this book, which offers warm comfort and the courage to practice to all those contemplating a worthwhile life, will become a seed of quiet change in your life.

Publisher's Review
Rereading the brilliant writings of the monk Beopjeong through the eyes of a poet!
A record of a person who gave up possessions and lived as an entity.
His words still shine today
“Life is not about possessions, but about the ‘being’ of each moment.” This short sentence perfectly captures the philosophy of the monk Beopjeong, who lived his entire life without possessions.
《The Temperature of the Court's Heart》 is a book that sheds new light on these very sentences, the monk's words from his lifetime, through the profound insight of poet Kim Ok-rim.
This is a record of reflection, reinterpreting the words and writings of the monk Beopjeong and the ‘essence of life’ contained therein through the poet’s sensibility and language.
Poet Kim Ok-rim interprets the monk's sayings to fit our lives today, reviving his timeless teachings in the language of the here and now.
The monk Beopjeong rejected the temptations of convenience and civilization and threw himself into a life with nature.
He lived a self-sufficient life in deliberate poverty, and until the end, he left behind a voice that the world needed through words and writing.
And that message still makes many people ask the fundamental questions, “Who am I?” and “Why are we not happy?”
Since "No Possession," his sayings still comfort our hearts and serve as a quiet compass for those who have lost their way.
《The Temperature of the Court's Heart》 goes beyond simply conveying such sentences, and adds poet Kim Ok-rim's interpretation to help readers approach them more easily and emotionally.
This book will be a meaningful companion for anyone who seeks to question the essence of life and live fully in the present moment.
When your heart wavers, when you want to re-establish the direction of your life, open this book.
The sentences contained within will give us the warmth we need.
