Hanbada et al.: Reconnected: In Search of the Ultimate Desire

The most creative dialogue regarding humanity's ultimate aspirations, trans-intellectual insights traversing the boundaries between clear knowledge and pure ignorance. This is a collection of dialogues between meditator Han Bada and religious scholar Seong Hae-young. Based on insights encompassing history, politics, society, culture, and religion, as well as actual experiences, they engage in a meticulous and profound exchange of opinions regarding the meaning of life and the restoration of true humanity. Emphasizing the need for the wisdom of religion and meditation above all else, they assert that this is distinct from the belief systems or practices of specific religions, describing it as the wisdom that restores a vividly alive and dynamic life. Their discussion traverses the causes of our inability to enjoy a vibrant life and the repeated experiences of division, lack, and isolation, ultimately culminating in a "true encounter." This is because life is a process of constantly meeting someone other than oneself or something new; therefore, the meaning of life can only be restored when the experience of encounter is complete. An encounter is essentially an experience of becoming one, and it is then that we can break free from the limited identity of "self" and taste joy and wonder, thereby allowing our inherent vitality to come alive.
