Park Jin-soo (36), a deputy chief of an outsource purchasing team, SK C&C. People often call him, who always seem energetic and flexible, “mànmàndi deputy” or energy-filled “battery.” But he had his share of a difficult time before entering the present position at work, such as experiencing multiple rejections while seeking employment and death of a close friend. He credits his transformation from an irritable and tiresome self to a positive “energizer,” to Maum Meditation. Through a subtraction of his mind, he started to understand the logics of the world which he had questioned; and changed himself fundamentally. The story about wisdom of work life and subtraction by Mr. Park, a deputy for the last 4 years.
“Something good happened, Mr. Park?” “Do you have a trusty backer?”
Because he laughs and gets along easily even in today’s economically challenged times, people tend to comment thusly. I work when I work, I eat when I eat, and I sleep when I sleep…. I am thankful for living a moment by moment to the best of my ability.
When I had just started this job in 2010, I was very irritable and angry person. I fought with my bosses and others when I disagreed with them. They had called me “the fighter”.
My health wasn’t good either. I had insomnia for a long time. In my personal life, there were many deaths. In my twenties, my good friend since high school died and also my brother who I was close to passed away… and then I was having a very difficult time when at twentynine, my best friend passed away.

Why were human beings born? How should I live? I felt guilty about not being able to help my friend. I felt like the unluckiest person and that’s when I developed insomnia. I only slept one hour a night, tossing and turning the rest of the night, and then struggling during the daytime hours…. I looked like a zombie. In order to sleep, I exercised and consulted with psychologists, but none of this helped me. My insomnia got worse, as I was rejected for jobs over and over, at least a hundred times, and could not get employment anywhere. I thought since I went to a good college and university with research experience and internship, I would be accepted. Anxiety, selfconsciousness, inferiority complex…all those minds rose up in me and it was a hell. Around that time, I read a monthly magazine called <Maum Meditation> at a health center.
“A man takes pictures in his mind using his eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and body and lives in his own videotape which he made. By eliminating this videotape and becoming the world, he would become and live as a saint with wisdom to know all of the logics of the world.” The writings in “World Beyond World by Woo Myung” inspired me. Ah, this is what I was seeking ~! Fortunately I was accepted for a job position at that time and I soon started Maum Meditation .
