๐ก INTRODUCTION
In our modern pursuit of wealth, success, and convenience, we often lose the very things that make life beautiful: simplicity and genuine warmth. ๐พ In this reflective poem titled โSlash – and – Burn Farmer,โ Master Woo Myung paints a poignant picture of families living in the mountainsโpeople with pure hearts who live in harmony with Nature, holding no greed or expectations.
However, when these simple-hearted people leave the mountains for the city in search of money, they become unhappy, hardened, and isolated. ๐ฌ๏ธ This story serves as a powerful metaphor for our own spiritual journey. When we abandon our original, pure minds to chase worldly desires and selfish expectations, we lose true love and inner warmth. True happiness is found not in gathering more, but in returning to a state of pure simplicity. โจ

๐ EXCERPT FROM โSLASH – AND – BURN FARMERโ BY MASTER WOO MYUNG
โThey are simple-hearted people for they have no expectations; with their pure hearts, they live with Nature. They have nothing and so they want nothing. […]
But there are those who grow tired of this kind of life. So they come to the city […] They become unhappy and they come to miss the warmth of the bygone days […].
Those who used to live off the mountains have all gone far away to make money. It is a pity that those people have become hardened and have lost their warmth.โ
