Soul

 Everything that exists in the world is composed of four elements: origin(seed), ground, environment, and result. (Even after a long effort, I still haven't found the appropriate English words for the two words, 'origin(seed)' and 'ground'.)  For example, a bean seed (origin) meets the soil (ground), sprouts, takes root, and performs life activities in the environment. After a certain period of life activities, it bears the bean fruit (result) and concludes its life activities. The bean fruit (result) thus created then becomes a seed (origin) to continue the next life activities. Everything that exists in the world follows this principle.  Likewise, humans follow this principle. The human soul (origin) meets parents (ground), is born, and performs life activities in the environment. After a certain period of life activities, the soul (result), which has been changed through life activities, is resulted in, and the life activities come to an end. This transformed sou...

Words

 Words refer to objects existing in the world or events occurring within it. In other words, facts exist in the world, and humans have given words to those facts as information about them.  Today, humans use words, but they have forgotten the true nature that those words refer to. Furthermore, humans have created words born of their own ideals—words that refer to nothing or refer to things incorrectly.  In human life, it is extremely important to properly understand the true nature of words. This is because, just as one must properly understand numbers in mathematics to perform calculations correctly, one must properly understand the true nature of words to correctly solve the problems encountered in life.

Enlightenment

 To attain enlightenment regarding something means that we have completely made it our own. For reference, enlightenment is entirely different from understanding.  For instance, there is a phrase that we should regard as the most fundamental guide in life: "Confirm." If someone comes to attain enlightenment regarding this phrase through cause and effect, whenever they encounter objects or facts they are not fully aware of, they would spontaneously practice the act of confirming them.

Standards

 When encountering things and affairs of the world, understanding them, judging them, making decisions, and acting upon them, we must possess the right standards. This is a principle that we must invariably uphold as we navigate the world.  The standards held by most people are shaped by their own desires or ideals. The right standards exist within the very things and affairs of the world that we must judge and decide upon—that is, within what exists.

Faith in Hope and Faith in Ideals

 It is really difficult to have faith in hope, yet quite easy to have faith in ideals.  It is so easy for faith in hope to be shattered, yet incredibly difficult for faith in ideals to be broken.

Belief In Ideals

 Today, most human beings abandon the hope to make themselves better and live consumed by desires and ideals. In particular, ideals are the worst factor which ruins both individuals and human society. An ideal refers to something that does not exist, is not true, or cannot be achieved. In the world, there are religious ideals, political ideals, ideological ideals, ideals regarding people, and many other kinds of ideals.  Things that do not exist, are not true, or cannot be achieved—in other words, ideals—arise and spread due to blind and misguided belief.
