Hello there.
Did you have a good week?
Yes,
I had a good day.
I was in the park for a while and I was in the park with my friends.
The temperature in Korea today went all the way up to about 27 degrees centigrade,
About 88-87 degrees Fahrenheit.
So it was quite hot working outside today.
Yes,
I was in the park for a while and I was in the park with my friends.
Yes,

First question.
Does meditation have the ability to improve our lives?
How?
Do we meditate in order to improve our lives?
Is there another reason to do it?
I think it's hard for me to understand exactly what you mean by improve.
What are you saying when we say our lives improves?
I think it's hard for me to understand exactly what you mean by improve.
Is improving mean more wealth,
Higher status,
More enjoyment in life?
Yes,
It's more of a more That's why it's a little bit uncertain what you mean by improve.
I think it's more of a more Does it mean more wealth,
Higher status,
More enjoyment in life?
It's hard to use the term improve to explain what meditation does.
I think it's hard to use the term improve.
I think it's hard to use the term improve.
I think it's hard to use it.
From an external perspective,
When you train the lens on our lives,
Obviously there are differences between those who have more wealth,
Higher status,
More things.
I think it's hard to use the term improve.
But in meditation,
None of these really matter that much.
I think it's hard to use the term improve.
I think it's hard to use the term improve.
But there are other people whose mind does not tend towards negative,
But it's very stable and very positive.
I think it's hard to use the term improve.
For example,
You're waiting for a bus and the bus is not coming.
You're waiting for a bus and the bus is not coming.
Different people may react differently.
Some may react with calm,
Weightfulness.
Others may react with anxiety.
So you're not feeling well,
You're not feeling well,
You're not feeling well,
You're not feeling well?
Yet others may be angry and complain vociferously.
Yet others might actually come up with a different way of getting to the destination,
Take another bus or find some other transportation without getting angry.
And even if things don't work out your way.
And there are people who despair,
Who get angry,
Who complain.
And there are others who investigate the causes of the failure and try to find some other better options to get it done.
Ask people and try and try again.
And if you have money,
Then you have the ability to help others.
So that's great.
If you don't have money,
Then you have the option to live your life more simply.
So you're not creating a set expectation of what life should be and judge your life against that standard and complain if it doesn't actually meet that standard that you have set for yourself.
It's a matter of adopting and adapting to what's been given.
It's akin to taking a piece of clothing off when it's hot or putting something back on when it's cold.
And if it's something that you need,
You try to earn the money to get it or try to produce it yourself.
So in all these different processes,
The focus should be on your mind not reacting and adjusting to this process negatively.
If you want to improve your life,
Then you should improve your life.
If you want to improve your life,
Then you should improve your life.
But if you try to define improve by the external metrics by which the world defines a good life in terms of wealth,
Status or not,
Meditation has very little to do with those.
But what we can say about meditation is a way to transition the negative tendencies of your mind to more positive tendencies and to transform the anxieties and overness into calm and peace.
And also allow you to be more resilient in adapting to new environment.
And if there is something that you need,
Allow you to be more positive in managing the change,
In operating this change management for yourself so that you are more positive and more investigative and explore things positively.
And if this is what you mean by improve,
Yes,
Then meditation does improve your life.
