🌿 True Understanding Begins with Love – Healing Human Relationships Through the Teachings of Beopjeong Sunim
Where should we begin to untangle our complicated relationships?
Every day, we interact with various people—family, friends, coworkers...
Yet sometimes, misunderstandings, conflicts, and communication breakdowns make these relationships feel overwhelmingly tangled.
When you find yourself wondering,
“Why can’t I understand this person?”
this quote from Beopjeong Sunim, a beloved Korean Buddhist monk, may offer a profound answer:
“The depth of our understanding depends on how much we love each other.
True understanding arises from love.”
— Beopjeong Sunim
💭 Why do we need Beopjeong Sunim’s message of “love” now more than ever?
In our fast-paced modern lives, we chase efficiency and results, often at the cost of what truly matters—the heart.
Relationships, too, become superficial. Instead of striving to understand others, we push our own opinions or settle for shallow connections.
But Beopjeong Sunim reminds us:
True understanding doesn’t come from the head, but from the heart.
Only when we approach others with empathy and compassion can we truly understand them—and build genuine, healthy connections.
🌱 How can love sow the seeds of understanding?
💡 Open your heart first
Before you judge or criticize someone, open your heart.
Try to see things from their perspective and feel what they feel.
Just as the sun melts frozen ground, your warmth can soften even the coldest heart.
👂 Listen with true attention
Listen carefully—not just to words, but to the emotions behind them.
Even silence holds meaning.
When you genuinely listen, others will feel safe to open their hearts in return.
💖 Embrace with love and compassion
Instead of criticism, offer love and understanding.
Accept their flaws, support their growth, and show them grace—
just as a mother embraces her child.
Your compassion can help heal their inner wounds.

these simple things can transform the world into a more compassionate place.
