📖 INTRODUCTION
Many people quietly carry grief, emotional pain, unanswered questions about life and death, stress, regret, and emotional exhaustion deep inside their hearts for years.
Even while continuing daily life — working, raising families, and appearing normal externally — the mind often remains heavy, restless, anxious, and unable to truly rest.
Questions such as:
“Why do people suffer?”
“What happens after death?”
“Why do painful memories continue remaining inside the mind?”
can stay unresolved for decades.
This meditation testimonial shares the story of Yong-chul Y., an office worker who began deeply questioning life after the tragic loss of his older brother during high school.
Although he continued living an ordinary life afterward, internally he carried grief, emotional heaviness, stress, regret, and endless questions about life itself.
Through meditation and the process of letting go of accumulated thoughts, emotional memories, and mental burdens, he gradually experienced something completely new:
a deeply peaceful and rested mind.
As his emotional heaviness disappeared, his relationships, facial expression, energy, stress levels, and daily life naturally transformed as well.
This meditation testimonial beautifully shows how meditation and self-reflection can help people heal emotional pain, release stress and regret, discover inner peace, and experience what it truly means for the mind to rest.
💬 Meditation Testimonial: “So This Is What It Means for the Mind to Truly Rest…”
Finding Peace Through This Meditation
By Yong-chul Y. | Office Worker
😢 “The Sudden Death of My Brother Changed My Life”
Children were playing near the dock of a small fishing village on the outskirts of Tongyeong.
In an instant, a four-year-old boy slipped and fell into the ocean.
The other children laughed and clapped, thinking he was simply swimming.
At that moment, the boy’s older brother — four years older than him — began crying and ran toward a nearby house.
He shouted for help, and fortunately their uncle happened to be home.
The uncle rushed out and pulled the child from the water just moments before he drowned.
If that older brother had been even slightly later, I would not be alive today.
That little boy was me.
That older brother later took his own life when I was a sophomore in high school.
He had been serving in the military after completing his first year of university.
His sudden death shocked me deeply.
More than sadness, I felt overwhelming confusion.
How could the brother who loved joking around and always cared for me suddenly no longer exist in this world?
During the funeral, I watched my parents seem to age ten years in only a few days.
My parents had always proudly spoken about having five sons and one daughter.
My father especially loved bringing his sons along to work at sea, proudly smiling whenever neighbors envied him.
But after losing his third son, I never again saw the confident version of my father I had once known.
That experience planted questions inside me:
“Why do people seem to age instantly from grief?”
“What happens after death?”
As the youngest child who had previously lived carelessly, I suddenly began spending long periods alone, thinking deeply about life.
Even after getting a job and marrying, I continued searching for somewhere that could answer life’s fundamental questions.
But nowhere gave me a satisfying answer.
Then one day, I happened to encounter this meditation through a newspaper article.
One phrase especially struck me deeply:
“Truth is simple and clear.”
It felt as though someone had hit me hard on the back of the head.
I thought:
“How could a method like this already exist, and yet I never knew?”
I immediately registered at a meditation center near my home.
🌱 “Through This Meditation, Something Heavy Began Disappearing”
Every evening after work, I went to the meditation center and practiced letting go of my mind.
Not long afterward, something strange began happening.
It felt as though a heavy, suffocating mass inside my heart was gradually being removed.
And the feeling afterward was unbelievably good.
The next day felt even better.
And the day after that felt better still.
I remember proudly telling my wife:
“When I let go of my mind, I feel unbelievably good.”
“Today feels even better than yesterday.”
“And tomorrow feels even better again.”
“If this keeps continuing every day… what will happen to me later?”
After about two months, people around me began commenting:
“Where did your sharp, cold expression go?”
People I met at the meditation center also told me:
“You’re actually such a gentle and funny person.”
Even I felt as though I was rediscovering the innocent and pure-hearted version of myself from childhood.
☀️ “Everyday Life Became Light and Peaceful”
Even ordinary daily life completely changed.
Before, whenever I came home from work, my face looked exhausted and irritated.
Especially after stressful days, my wife and children would quietly avoid me because I became easily frustrated.
But now, stress itself feels unfamiliar.
These days, even after working all day, returning home feels as light and casual as stepping out briefly to a nearby convenience store.
There are no lingering regrets.
No emotional leftovers.
My wife and children now greet me with bright smiles.
Before meditation, I often lay awake at night thinking:
“Why did I act that way back then?”
“If only I had done things differently…”
I constantly replayed regrets in my mind.
But after practicing this meditation and discarding those mental remnants, I felt indescribably refreshed and comfortable.
Even when waking up in the morning, my body felt light and energized.
🌌 “Life’s Questions Began Solving Themselves”
The deep questions I had carried since childhood gradually began resolving themselves naturally — like pieces of a puzzle finally fitting together.
And as those answers became clear, I became free from countless worries and mental suffering.
That was when I finally understood:
“Ah… this is what it means for the mind itself to truly rest.”
The feeling filled my heart with overwhelming gratitude.
Living every day within that joy, how could I not feel thankful?
After watching my transformation, my wife also began practicing this meditation.
And sometimes she says to me:
“I don’t know what kind of blessing allowed me to encounter this meditation.”
