Into the book
The length of time depends on how you think about it, and the narrowness and breadth of space depends on how you think about it.
That is why a person with a leisurely mind feels more spacious and a day longer than a thousand years, and a person with a broad mind feels even a small room as wide as the gap between heaven and earth.
By reducing material desires, I cultivate flowers and plant bamboo, and all material desires disappear. By forgetting all distracting thoughts, I burn incense and brew tea, and I am not concerned about anything.
If you know how to be content with the reality before you, that is the world of the immortals. If you don't know how to be content, it is just a world full of desires.
If you use all the connections in the world well, life will be full everywhere, but if you do not use them well, life will be full everywhere.
The disasters brought about by clinging to power are terribly disastrous and come quickly, but the feeling of peace and tranquility without greed is truly simple and lasts a long time.
I was walking alone, leaning on my cane, by the stream in a pine-covered valley, and suddenly stopped to see clouds rising from my torn clothes. I was lying comfortably with a book as my pillow under a bamboo-covered window, and suddenly woke up to find moonlight seeping into my worn-out blanket.

Publisher's Review
Face the world calmly, as if eating tree roots.
Discovering the truth contained in the ordinary is the wisdom of true life!
Chaegeundam, the greatest book of wisdom in the East, comparable to the Talmud in the West, has long been read by everyone from the sons of the nobility to the common people. It teaches us that the wisdom that can keep us alive on our journey through life is never far away.
Discover the ultimate book of wisdom, which tells us that discovering the truth hidden in the ordinary is the key to enriching life.
The lesson of Chaegeundam is simple and easy.
If we face the world calmly, as if we were eating the roots of a tree, anyone can lead a comfortable life.
But how many people forget these simple teachings, striving for greater, more wonderful things, and become swayed by worldly affairs? If we all lived by the lessons of "Chaegeundam," we could all enjoy a comfortable life.
Do not neglect the fundamentals in the ordinary
Let's encounter the spirit of contentment and contentment in "Chaegeundam"
What we come to realize through Chaegeundam is that discovering the truth of life in the midst of ordinary daily life is the key to enriching life.
To modern people, this very obvious truth has faded away, and it is said that living a good life is all about gaining fame and holding gold, but Chaegeundam realizes that all of this is futile, and that mental stability through peace of mind is the greatest happiness.
《Chaegeundam》, which has been widely read as a textbook for scholars since ancient times, conveys deep emotions and lessons to all of us with its elegant writing style and simple expressions.
This book is especially recommended for young people taking their first steps into society. It will be of great help to those who have been deceived by the dazzling words of various life-saving textbooks that mislead them on their first steps in life, as they will be able to confirm their own identity and reset their life goals through this book.
