“There is no other place on earth where nature is as lovely and beautiful as that of this country.

Into the book
A friend of mine who had broad knowledge knew the monk Yeoyeon, who guarded the hermitage, through a connection, so we had decided to stay at that hermitage that night.
Thinking about the night before, when I stayed at the priest's residence in Gwangju, I couldn't help but laugh.
Although it was called a priest's residence, it was not a house resembling a wealthy house like the large growth priests' residences in Seoul, but a small two-room apartment.
The priest happened to be out of town celebrating mass at a rural church, so I had a night off, and thanks to a friend of a friend, I was able to stay overnight.
It was a trip without food, as I didn't just sleep, but I also rummaged through the rice bin and refrigerator to make rice for myself in the morning before leaving.
Of course, I was determined to get what I wanted and live well at Iljiam.

The auctions that Tournier wrote about are not aimed at such great profits or public curiosity, but rather at extremely trivial, pleasant, and common-sense auctions.
Every January, Germany's Lufthansa Airlines publicly auctions off lost and unclaimed luggage.
It's intriguing not knowing what's inside, but the chances of it containing anything of great value are slim.
Anyone who has traveled knows that sometimes, due to a mistake by the owner or the airline, the bag does not arrive at the airport at the same time as its owner. However, even with just a small clue attached to the bag or a report from the person who lost it, the bag can be found and returned to its owner within a short period of time.

Publisher's Review
A collection of travel essays filled with deep reflection
In the landscapes painted by the artist's hands, the country he was born in, the people he loved, and the books he enjoyed reading are reflected, and the sum total of the artist's experiences is clearly reflected and comes out.
The vivid scenery unfolding before your eyes, and the hidden truths revealed one by one, are the joyous emotions that only Park Wan-seo's writing can provide.
Each of the 12 short but long travel stories contains the profound philosophy of the Taoist monk, but most importantly, it is an enjoyable read that can be universally relatable to anyone, regardless of age or gender.
“There is no other place on earth where nature is as lovely and beautiful as that of this country.
It's like a garden that God has carefully decorated by gathering all the good things.
“I did not give anything in excess, but only gave it in harmony.” (From the text)

The writings I wrote while traveling through Namdo, Hahoe Village, the Seomjin River cherry blossom road, Ssanggyesa Temple, and the Odaesan Mountain area are filled with awe and longing for the beauty of nature.
We read the stories of those who lived namelessly, and feel the traces of great souls who became the spirit of nature and made it shine.
As the author says, “Nature without rhythm is nothing more than scenery,” the delicate gaze that reads the communication between nature and humans is warm yet sorrowful.
Part 2 mainly contains travelogues containing the author's personal experiences and historical events.
"The Lost Suitcase" is a piece that reflects on the long journey of life, recalling the experience of losing a suitcase long ago. It also includes "The Emotion of Being There - A Travelogue to the Vatican," written after attending the funeral of Pope John Paul II, "Ah! What a Great Place to Cry - A Travelogue to China and Baekdu Mountain," which is about visiting independence movement sites in China and Baekdu Mountain with historians Lee I-hwa and Song Woo-hye, and "A Travelogue to Shanghai," which deals with a special connection to Shanghai.
Part 3, “Life Goes On,” is a record of my visit to Ethiopia, a country suffering from hunger and poverty, and Indonesia, which was devastated by a tsunami, while working as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador.
The reality that innocent children suffer due to the mistakes of adults is a shame we want to ignore, but the great vitality of humans who 'continue to live' leaves us deeply moved.
Part 4, “The Journey of the Sun,” is a pilgrimage in the midst of painful enlightenment, questioning one’s own existence in the face of the supernatural power of external phenomena.
Through the pristine nature, pure people, clean lifestyles, and lands where even waste is completely recycled in Tibet and Nepal, we question the essential conditions of life, even as we are caught up in the whirlpool of modern civilization.
It may be blasphemous for a foreigner to interpret the atrocities of those who practice asceticism on snow-capped mountains and gravel fields with prostrations, but the Tibet-Nepal travelogue, which depicts with a painterly and contemplative quality the crazy blue sky and puffy clouds that one might have encountered in a past life, the unconquered land and the innocent smiles of the people, the mummies of Buddha and Lamas, and even the silence in the sandstorm, is a landscape of the sacred and the profane painted by the outstanding realist Jian.
