For a long time, I thought about what is the true happiness. Sadness and hardship seemed reality but joyful happiness seemed transient like bubble. I found this book on Amazon.com. It was within the ranking of 100 bestsellers with the title, “Heaven’s Formula for saving the World.” With interest, I started to read. The paragraphs were short and concise with interesting illustrations, which I felt comfortable with while reading. And after reading this book, I understood why I worked so hard for happiness and how the happiness earned were transient. I understood what was the true happiness as a result. And that happiness could be forever!! I was really surprised. I understood why I was whimsical in my mind; feeling good, then stressed out. And knowing that the true mind exists beyond my mind was a very refreshing shock. I would like to recommend this book to anyone who feels futile about life. Sun-jin Yim/Housewife/Choong-nam Nonsan
I hadn’t read many religious or philosophical books, but noticing a pretty cover page, I picked up the book. Initially, the words such as human mind, God, creation and eternal world were unfamiliar and difficult. But despite the unfamiliarity, the book very easily spoke about the origin of the world, human, God, Universe, creation, etc. As anyone would have, I also had questions about the reason and purpose of living. But the first part of the book very clearly explained this. It also explained simply about Truth which was spoken about in Buddhism, Christianity and other religions; this helped me to understand the world of Truth mentioned by religions. Personally, I was having a difficult time in my life and I was much inspired by the message that human beings live in the false world and that through meditation, they can live forever in the true world. Just reading this book puts my mind at ease. Ji-hang Suh/Corporate staff/Seoul
I read while not moving for 3 hours. It was a shock; if this text was right, I can end my long-time wandering. I was always questioning why do I live, where do I come from, where do I go, and what is the right way to live. My inside always was futility itself, even though I was active in my own way through religion, and meditation. It was always a dilemma about how to direct my children as a parent; I was ashamed to tell them, “since others lived this way, you also should,” when even I did not know the way. In outwardly appearances, I seemed to be upright and okay, but it was hard since it felt like a mask. Even though I was often praying and doing charity work, there always were enemies and barriers with people who did not fit my ways of thinking.Gradually, I was more and more exhausted at myself who weren’t able to live as told by the Bible. Then, I read this book coincidentally. Before, we were told to throw away and release without any explanations as to “why?” In this book, there is an explanation.It was very simple and concise;...

Despite my longing to attend a Catholic church, my mother-in-law forced me to attend a protestant church. I tried to listen and live as were told in sermons, but I did not know what was mind and what was thankfulness. I ended up with illness from high stress levels and overwork. The doctors of Eastern and Western medicines, recommended “let go of everything” ? what is this? I had never been sick before. After reading “the Mind,”I started to understand a bit of words from the Bible and I also want to live without any mind. I realized that I see, think and judge everything, people and the world, in my own view. I was unable to live with the nature’s flow, even though the Universe is never-changing…..this book made me want to throw away the mind. Won-gi Bak/Corporate staff/Kyungi Ilsan
I wanted to live well. So I wanted to have all of money, love, prestige, and power. But this only added more suffering and burden. The author stated that human beings want to possess and achieve, but there is nothing that are accomplished with attachments. If one wants to accomplish, one must eliminate all of human mind; as one discards more and more, Truth will enter and one will know Truth and all of the world will be accomplished. I now understand; what is accomplished is only accomplished in the true world and nothing is accomplished in the false world. I am thankful to the author and I wished that many people would escape the attachments. Young-ok Song/Housewife/Seoul
It’s amazing. For me who used to only analyze the world, this book has become my hope; the life philosophy I had held could be changed a lot or entirely. This is wonderful since my perspectives on life had become tragic and boring. It is becoming a huge hope. But I am not understanding fully when reading it once or twice; sometimes I have to read a page or two for two days. Maybe it’s because I am a perfectionist. It’s great to read for my own hope and I am thankful for this book which is already worth the investment of about 10 dollars price. Sang-gu Song/Housewife/Kyungi Buchun
Even though I was living a secured life socially, it seemed like an empty shell. How long must I live in this stress. The life lived in my job, my family, the regrets of my past and the fear about my future…..I read this book wanting to escape all these. But this book was not about running away from something. It states that what I thought as reality were pictures and when I escape them, there is an eternal land of happiness. All stress is from my mind; I think I can escape from all the stress.

During summer vacations, I usually get light, easy to read books at home, but this time I decided to choose a book that allowed me to reflect. I felt the author’s attempt to appeal to readers. A page by page, I read while self-reflecting, the book seemed easy but difficult, and yet, difficult but easy. The book seemed very peculiar. The words were simple with concise paragraphs as in a poem and it seemed to quietly address the meaning of life. It felt like walking along a calm sunset beach!!
