📖 Introduction
In the quiet moments of life, heavy existential questions often suddenly surface in our hearts: Where do I come from, and where am I going? Why do I live? These are questions we cannot easily ask others, and searching for answers in philosophy or books often leaves us feeling colder and more empty. Without real answers, we simply bury the questions deep inside, force ourselves to live diligently day by day, and hide our underlying depression. We go through the motions of life lacking true certainty or confidence, assuming we are doing okay. But what happens when you finally discover a method that unravels those lifelong mysteries?
In this post, two practitioners share their profound journeys from emptiness to certainty. A 54-year-old woman shares how her deep existential dread and depression melted away after following her husband to meditation, finally unraveling the questions of life and death. Meanwhile, a 50-year-old shares how discarding her false, self-centered world gave her 100% confidence and certainty that she could truly change her life.
Read their inspiring stories to see how mind subtraction provides the ultimate answers to your deepest questions and fills your life with genuine confidence.
💬 Story 1: 🌠 “The Answers That Could Have Remained Lifelong Questions Unraveled”
By Kim Min-ju / Age 54 / Level 1
While living, questions suddenly popped up in a corner of my heart: Where do I come from and where do I go? A koan that I couldn’t ask anyone, and even if I did, there would likely be no answer! ‘Ah, my head hurts. Why do I live throwing around questions with no answers? I should just live diligently day by day.’ I buried it deep in my heart, buried it again, but when it suddenly came to mind, I became depressed and empty. Feeling frustrated, I stopped by a bookstore and bought the bestseller ‘Death’ by a Harvard philosophy professor. The moment I opened the first page at home, it said ‘nothing.’ It was such a cold answer. My heart sank. ‘Still, I have to keep living.’
My husband was losing sleep because various things he was trying weren’t working out well. Watching him from the side was hard for me too. But if I awkwardly tried to comfort him, he would get angry. A year of this—how hard must it have been for him? We were taking a walk together when my husband saw a flyer, went to a local center to practice, and said his mind became much more comfortable. Watching him, I thought it was really great. So, I too came to attend this meditation practice.
“First of all, the answers that could have remained lifelong questions seemed to unravel one by one, and my mind became very comfortable. A lot of my worries about life and death disappeared.”
Since this is just the beginning, I want to try it until the completion stage. I can see happiness and peace in the facial expressions and appearances of each and every guide. Thank you to the guides.

💬 Story 2: 🌻 “Confidence That I Can Change My Life”
By Kang Gyeong-ju / Age 50 / Level 1
Before meditating, even though I said I was living diligently in my own way, I lacked confidence and had no certainty about life. Like a habit, I just thought I was living well. As I started subtraction meditation, the world of mine that I thought was real was entirely a fake world of my own, making me solely happy and selfish. I always had the illusion that I was living for others rather than myself, thinking ‘someday everyone will recognize it…’
“It’s only been a short week, but I accurately learned what the real mind is and what I must do to live with the real mind. Subtraction method – I gained 100% confidence that I can truly change my life with it.”
Changing my fake life into genuine happiness~ I am grateful to the method of this meditation that made this possible. Today as well, to be happy together, I will live diligently subtracting.
