The masterpiece of Buddhist scripture researcher and bestselling author Fei Yong
Includes the full text of the Diamond Sutra in Korean
Everyone wants to have something they don't have, and once they get it, they want to keep it.
When we want to gain something, we worry about failure, and when we want to keep something, we fear losing it.
These desires, worries, anxieties, and fears make us busier and more tired.
How can I live without being anxious?
'Start by diligently eating your meals right here, right now.' The Diamond Sutra begins with the story of the Buddha and his disciples staying at the Saṅgāra monastery in Savatthi and the reason they beg for food.
The Diamond Sutra is a scripture that teaches us how to control our worries, fears, and anxieties and live without anxiety through anecdotes of the Buddha and his disciples, covering everything from the most important issue of human survival to the one thing that never changes in the world, what to do when we get excited and anxious, the direction and purpose of life, prejudices and opinions, human relationships, and even life and death.
The Diamond Sutra contains the meaning that even if afflictions come, they can be shattered and blown away like a lightning bolt, and after doing so, the mind becomes as hard as a diamond and cannot be shaken by any afflictions.
The Diamond Sutra Mind Study is a modern translation of the Buddha's wisdom from 2,500 years ago.
Professor Fei Yong, a Buddhist scripture researcher and bestselling author who has been easily conveying Buddhist thought to the public for over 30 years, has presented the most excellent commentary on the Diamond Sutra, the oldest wisdom of mankind.
How can we bring the wisdom of the Diamond Sutra into our lives? By not wasting our lives being swayed by vain emotions.
The Buddha was comfortable even though he had no home, begged for food, and even had to cut off his own flesh.
Because in this place, I am not attached to anything and I accept all beings as they truly are.
So there was no anxiety, no worry, no fear, and no nervousness.
The busier, more tired, and more lonely you are, the more likely you are to become anxious.
In times like these, whether you are religious or not, reading this book calmly can help you let go of your anxiety.
And I can face all beings and life around me with a positive mind.
If you first think about the questions given in the book or read the story while thinking about the questions, it will help you see your own mind.
When you want to soothe your anxious mind, when you need comfort in life, or when you want to cultivate insight, I hope you will use this book as a stepping stone to the wisdom of the Diamond Sutra.

Into the book
An economist studied the Diamond Sutra from an economic perspective and realized that living according to its teachings was the way to achieve maximum results at minimum cost.
And came to the following interesting conclusion:
“Even without economics, this world would run smoothly, and even without the Diamond Sutra, this world would still move forward.
But a world without the Diamond Sutra would move roughly and rattle in a chaotic mess.”
---From page 4, 'Starting with the Diamond Sutra: Life is divided into two parts: the first is the knowledge of the Diamond Sutra and the second is the knowledge of the Diamond Sutra.'
The Diamond Sutra changes our way of thinking.
The words of Shakyamuni contained in the Diamond Sutra are not a conclusive answer, but a question-like answer.
Keep asking questions while answering to make the person asking the question think.
Even for those who are not particularly interested in the Buddha's words contained in the Diamond Sutra, learning the question-based way of thinking contained therein is a great learning experience.
If you constantly ask questions and reflect from time to time throughout your life, you will find yourself becoming wiser.
Asking questions can help you develop insight and avoid jumping to conclusions about anything you see.
---From "Commentary on page 21: Understanding the Diamond Sutra in 18 Minutes"
The reason many people feel anxious is because they are in 'this moment, this place,' but they cannot stay comfortably in that moment and that place.
---From "How to Be Comfortable in This Moment, This Place" on page 26
If you feel excited, anxious, or find it difficult to resist temptations, try focusing on your breathing.
It is about taking slow, deep breaths, focusing only on the movements of inhaling and exhaling.
---Page 53: "What to do when you feel excited and anxious"
Everyone lives a life of being chased by time.
Marguerite Duras said, “I have spent my whole life learning how to waste time.”
In fact, no matter how much you rush, there is still time ahead, and no matter how much you waste, time continues to bury people.
Time is life and existence itself.
Therefore, our life is flowing at every moment.
---From "What is Time?" on page 85
The true purpose of life should be to become a certain kind of person.
Of course, you need money to become the person you want to be, but you also need other things.
But these are all means to an end.
You shouldn't change yourself to make money.
---From "What is the purpose of life and what are the means?" on page 139
Most of us die on the journey of life.
But if your goal is to enjoy life, travel isn't necessary.
Because you will reach your destination as soon as you set off.
If you arrive as soon as you start, you won't die during the trip.
Because we will always live in the present.
---From "When to Rest" on page 160
Living with death in mind and recognizing it is not a pessimistic attitude, but the beginning of infinity.
Just thinking about death can make you look at life optimistically.
It is not optimism created by words of blessing, but rather the joy felt in the present moment.
---From "How to Think About Death" on page 171
There is no such thing as an absolutely wrong idea, nor an absolutely right idea.
Everything changes depending on the situation.
---From "Why Should I Empty My Mind?" on page 212
Honor and status may seem like relatively high-level things, but if you think that honor and status are who you are, you will definitely be disappointed.
Because honor and position are something that others create for you, and you cannot decide for yourself.
If one's position is lowered or one's reputation diminishes, endless suffering and pain will inevitably begin.
And came to the following interesting conclusion:

Publisher's Review
To modern people who live anxiously
Necessary mental study
Feeling anxious about making a living, feeling like we need to do something more because the future is uncertain, and feeling anxious because others seem to be doing well are all emotions that everyone living in the present age feels.
No matter what generation, gender, or occupation, everyone lives with pain, big or small.
Perhaps that's why people wait for the tiring and exhausting everyday life to pass quickly and for the weekend and vacation season to arrive, for the hardships to pass quickly and for more enjoyable times to come.
I consider a vacation that comes once or twice a year to be happiness, but I spend today unhappy.
It is natural that we strive to eat better, dress better, and live better these days.
But even in a life that has clearly progressed one step further, I still feel anxious.
Why is that? Because we find the work we do to eat well and live well painful.
They constantly want to have new things and struggle to keep what they have.
Caught up in such desires and anxieties, we become worried about failure and afraid of losing.
For us, we need to practice our minds to control our worries, anxieties, and fears and live without anxiety.
Life is divided into before and after knowing the Diamond Sutra.

And it came to the following interesting conclusion:
“Even without economics, this world would run smoothly, and even without the Diamond Sutra, this world would still move forward.
But a world without the Diamond Sutra would move roughly and rattle in a chaotic chaos.” The Diamond Sutra guides us to the wisdom to feel joy and happiness in everything we do, rather than enduring the painful process of life.
Smart people will succeed, but they will become obsessed with that success, intoxicated, and anxious.
On the other hand, a wise person is not obsessed with success and is not afraid of failure.
Because your heart moves as it wishes, you advance steadily to your final destination.
In this way, I can read the Diamond Sutra, which can help me expand my vessel, in the easiest way possible while feeling deep emotion.
Professor Fei Yong, a Buddhist scripture researcher and bestselling author who has been easily conveying Buddhist thought to the public for over 30 years, provides commentary, and translator Heo Yu-yeong has excellently translated it into Korean so that we can fully understand it.
You will develop insight that sees things through like lightning.
A book that makes your heart as hard as a diamond
Worry, anxiety, and fear are not unique to modern people.
It has been going on since the beginning of mankind, and 2,500 years ago, Siddhartha had the same concerns as us.
Siddhartha, originally a prince, lived in luxury in a luxurious palace.
One day, while out on an outing outside the palace, he witnessed for the first time the sight of people being born, getting sick, growing old, and dying.
Finally, Siddhartha, who met the monk, abandoned his throne, wife, and children and became a monk.
Siddhartha, who had been searching for the truth for six years, meditated for seven days under a Bodhi tree.
At that moment, when a shooting star fell, Siddhartha suddenly attained enlightenment and became Buddha.
Buddha explained the nature of the anxiety that people carry with them like fate from birth until death using these four principles.
First, the truth that all actions in the world cause suffering.
Second, the truth that our suffering is due to foolish desires.
Third, the truth that calming the body and mind is the only way to eliminate suffering.
Fourth, the truth that a state of tranquility can only be reached through right thinking and action.
And the Buddha spent the rest of his life spreading this truth to the world and saving sentient beings.
The anecdotes of the Buddha and his disciples realistically focus on the liberation of the individual's life from anxiety.
It is the first self-help book in human history, having been passed down for a whopping 2,500 years.
Just as the Diamond Sutra has guided countless souls to the path of enlightenment and freedom, so too can anyone attain its wisdom.
By letting go of our obsessions with the most basic human issues—eating, time, relationships with others, success, life and death—we can live healthier lives right here and now.
