Why Are Laws Necessary?

 It is difficult to live in a society with many laws. Why are laws necessary? It is because society cannot be maintained without law. How did society become so dangerous that it was difficult to maintain it? It's because of ignorance. When no one teaches good teachings and no one wants to accept good teachings, society becomes governed by laws created by humans. No matter how much freedom is emphasized and many laws are made, it is of no use. If the people of the world are taught ‘conscience, justice, and love,’ no unfortunate thing will ever happen in that society even if there are no laws. In the end, that society will be able to transform into the most beautiful society.

Basic and Essential Ability For Human Life

 The most basic and essential ability in human life is ‘the ability to see ‘what exists’ as it is.’ ‘What exists’ refers to all things that exist within oneself, all things around oneself related to oneself, or all things that are not directly related to oneself but exist in the universe.

 If we were to express ‘the ability to see ‘what exists’ as it is’ in one word, it would be ‘truth(fact).’ The word truth is used so much, but it is safe to say that very few people actually have the truth.

 Socrates knew one thing: he knew nothing. He lived trying to teach people about it, and was killed for the action. -People don't know that they don't know anything. Rather, people live under the illusion that they know too many facts. As can be seen from what happened to Socrates, if humans work hard through proper education to acquire the ability of truth, they will first realize that they do not know anything. They can reach the stage of knowing nothing. This stage is the very first stage on the path to truly gaining ‘the ability (truth) to see things as they are.’

 Lao Tzu(老子) said that when people of low level hear the truth(law), they get angry, when people of middle level hear the truth, they are skeptical, and when people of high level hear the truth, they become happy. Lao Tzu was able to say this because he was able to see what exists in the world as it really is. Being able to see what exists in the world as it is is the same as saying that you can distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad, in things in the world. If people work hard through proper education to obtain truth(the ability), they will move beyond the stage of knowing nothing and reach the stage where they can see what exists in the world as it really is. This is the second stage.

 After attaining complete enlightenment through liberation, Shakyamuni lived his life to teach the truth to the people of the world. If people who have reached the second stage work hard through proper education, courage and love will rise within them and they will be able to convey what they have seen in the world to other people. If they continue to do these things, they will accumulate virtue(功德) and at the same time, a fire will be created within them and they will be able to burn off the karma they have accumulated. The third stage is to be able to convey the law (the truth of the world) like this.


Almost all people in the world are unaware of their ignorance and are living in their own dreams. The things of the world are not determined by human dreams, but by the laws of cause and effect that exist within the things. The world is becoming increasingly dark and moving toward a period of change due to people living by relying on their dreams.

We should not be deceived by ourselves

 Humans are taught from a young age not to deceive others. However, to be more precise, you should not deceive others, but you should not be deceived by others either. This is because if you are deceived, grudge will arise within you.

 If we see or hear information that we do not know, we must first doubt the information and later find a way to verify the information to confirm its authenticity.

 However, the real problem lies not with the method of verifying the information, but with the person doing the verification. Humans live in pursuit of desires or ideals. Desire and ideals prevent humans from seeing facts as they are. In the end, people are deceived because the information given is not properly verified.

 Humans should not deceive others, but they should not be deceived either. In particular, you should not be deceived by yourself. In other words, you should not be deceived by your desires and ideals.

Banner for the trip to London in Nov. 2023

 Everything that exists in the world comes into existence and changes according to the law of cause and effect and the law of repetition.

 Our present (results) was created by what we said and did in the past and the circumstances we were in (causes). In the same way, our future (outcome) will be determined by what we say and do in the present and the circumstances we are in (causes).

 We need to know what we are saying and doing and what circumstances we are in. The problem is that it is really difficult to recognize these things properly.

 How about you?

What Makes The World Get Darker

 Mixing white and red makes pink. In other words, when certain specific causes are mixed, a specific result determined according to the law is created.

 The problem is that it is so difficult to know exactly what color I have. In other words, it is very difficult to know the countless things that exist in the world we live in as they are.

 The bigger problem is that people don't know that it's so difficult to know about the things that exist in the world. This means that people need to question their idea of ​​knowing something.

 An even bigger problem is the fact that people don't care about the rightness or wrongness of their thoughts. Their words and actions based on false ideas are darkening the world.

How Things in the world Operate

 Mixing white and red makes pink. And depending on the concentration and amount of the two colors, different pinks are created. This phenomenon does not change under any circumstances.

 Not only the case of mixing colors, but also the results that occur when any causes existing in the universe meet each other are always constant.

 The important fact is that if you have the desired intensity and amount of pink, you just need to prepare white and red in the concentration and amount that can produce it. In other words, if there is a result required in individual life or society, it is necessary to create causes that can produce that result. Finding the exact way to create the cause and executing it properly is the only way to produce the desired result.

 No matter how earnest, desperate, and firm someone's wishes, hopes, beliefs, and prayers are, the desired result will not be obtained unless they know the method and execute it properly to create the required causes. This is the principle the world goes around.

Facts, Information, and Knowledge

 2023. 03. 29. Wed.

 We often hear that we should read a lot of books. But I can hardly hear an explanation as to why we need to read a lot of books.

 Here are three words: facts, information, and knowledge.

 Facts refer to everything that exists in the world.

 Information refers to news or data that a certain fact exists.

 Knowledge is a collective term for the information that exists in the world that is accepted into oneself.

 It is a fact that exists in the world, but if no one has discovered the fact, the information about the fact does not exist. Also, among countless pieces of information, those that are not accepted as one's own are not knowledge.

 The saying that we need to read a lot of books needs a little correction. In other words, it should be said that we should read a lot of books that contain 'correct information'.

 There is so much misinformation out there in the world. If you accept wrong information, you put wrong knowledge in yourself. The thoughts and judgments we make are based on the knowledge that exists within ourselves. For this reason, it is very difficult for those who contain false knowledge to make proper thoughts or judgments.

 The unfortunate thing is that in today's world, it is very difficult to find a way to distinguish between correct information and incorrect information.
