Life and Meditation

A word ‘meditation’ is deemed to be said by few people like Buddhist monks.

What does the meditation actually mean?

What does a Buddhist monk pray while he is lost in meditation?

I did meditate too

Lost in meditation when faced with difficult math problem

And dealing with complicated national defense matters

The state of being lost in thought is deemed to be called ‘meditation’ as well

When I am lost in thought to solve hard math problems and national defense problems

I wonder what kind of problems did the Buddhist monks solve through their meditations?

Did they seek Buddha’s pardon for wrong deeds while in meditation or pray for solving of social problems?

Met a person who had meditated

The person was proud of having a special space of meditation in his high quality residence

And kept saying he has done a lot of meditation

What his meditation has so far contributed to the common good?

Unfortunately, none has been found yet.

If a beggar meditates the beggar’s situation becomes worse

In case of the wealthy people, the more meditation,

the more the rich will become richer

I do my meditations

In a bus

And while following a trail

Without having a particular space for meditation

I write several articles per day

The articles are not resulted in my meditations

As a bladder is filled with urine

When filled with thoughts I write

No particular meditation is needed

It has become a common sense of the haves in this country that

The Buddhist monks’ praying done sitting in the temple means a meditation

But the ordinary persons’ deeds done in the bus are not

If a tiger does meditation, the predator will have a clear view of a prey

And in case of a religious man, he will have a clear view of a deluxe foreign made automotive

Kim Dae-jung did also declare so-called ‘ non-possession’

I will be one of the have-nots families

A well-known Buddhist monk, Beopjung from Jeolla Province said earlier that his pockets were empty but filled with dust only

These beautiful sayings were only the chanting slogans of the cunning communists

Because there are a lot of people who are easily deceived by these tricks, such fraud will continue to happen today and tomorrow
