GRC Fun Run: 10K Active Meditation and Friendship

GRC Fun Run: 10K Active Meditation and Friendship🏃‍♀️🧘‍♂️

What a day at the GRC Fun Run! This morning wasn't just about covering the 10Km distance; it was a powerful practice of active meditation. 

We woke up early, met at the beautiful new location, Connexion, Koh Pich, and decided to run not just with our legs, but with our full, positive presence.

For all four of us, the run became a way to reset the mind. Each step was a moment of mindfulness—focusing on our breath, the rhythmic sound of our feet hitting the ground, and the simple joy of moving our bodies in the fresh morning air. 

It’s amazing how meditating while running can clear your thoughts and leave you feeling centered and calm. The physical challenge melts away, and you find yourself in the flow, truly present.

The joy was doubled because we did it together! Sharing that focus, that effort, and those final happy strides to the finish line was incredible. 

The run was fantastic, and our homemade picnic breakfast afterward was the absolute best! 🧺😋 We were so happy eating and chatting that we totally forgot one crucial thing: a group photo! 🤦‍♀️

We were having too much fun being present in the moment and enjoying the food to stop and take a proper picture of our little crew. It's the one small regret of the day, but it just means the memory is extra real.

Even without group photos, the feeling of running those miles and sharing a happy, healthy Sunday with great friends is the best treasure. Happiness is doing things together! ❤️

This is what life is about: health, community, and finding happiness in the simple, shared moments. We are so happy when we are together!

You have to eat well and rest well to finish the race!

You have to eat well and rest well to finish the race!

Around 11:30 AM, I completed 3 loops, totaling 30km. The hot weather had drained my energy, and I felt completely exhausted. 

I took a break at a cafe to drink a refreshing coconut juice. Seeing other teammates resting made the temptation to quit a little.

But then, my guardian angel, the 'mom' of KKRC, Chenda Heng, appeared and told me it was time for lunch! Yay! I decided to recharge with a delicious meal.

Lunch was truly the best medicine. I devoured the delicious food, especially the traditional Cambodian fish soup, marveling at its rich flavor. 

The variety of dishes filled my stomach, and the restful break was a lifesaver. It reminded me once again: "You have to eat well and rest well to finish the race!"

From 10-Hour Running Training: Kep 53km Run Completion (KKRC) Review

What is the cause of loneliness and how can it be dealt with?

What is the cause of loneliness and how can it be dealt with?

Loneliness takes many forms. 

A person can feel lonely 

when he is alone or feels neglected, 

but there is also the loneliness that he himself makes. 

Loneliness is felt because one's self exists.

When he - the self - does not exist, 

he does not feel lonely.

All people live lonely lives. 

It is fine to console oneself 

by thinking of those who are worse off than himself. 

Loneliness is made by one's self; 

that is, it is not something that originally exists. 

It is possible to lose oneself 

in the thought that he is lonely or neglected. 

All people live such lives 

so it is important not to further 

make the non-existent minds of loneliness.

One's Burdens

One's Burdens

One must shoulder burdens.

One must shoulder burdens if 

he is not of nature's flow.

One shoulders burdens because 

he defies the laws of Heaven.

One is good at shouldering one's burdens.

What one knows are all his burdens.

He is under the false impression that he has wisdom, 

but what he has is nothing more than burdens.

Man teaches man knowledge, 

but what he is doing is putting a burden 

on another person's shoulders.

One would have to shoulder nothing

if he knew nothing, 

if he had nothing, 

and if he himself were no more.

Man carries his own burdens, 

unwilling to be free of them.

He acts superior even though 

he knows nothing about

departures and arrivals, 

or existence and non-existence.

Though it is a non-existent life, 

he lives thinking it is real; 

he lives bound to it, 

trembling with anxiety, anger, and greed.

But he does not try to break free from it; 

instead he carries all of his burdens 

in his attempt to have everything.

Reference: The great teacher Woo Myung's Book "Nature's Flow", P. 29

We Must Come Out From The Shadows, The Illusions, Into The World

We Must Come Out From The Shadows, 

The Illusions, Into The World

Man has the mind of shadows, 

and he lives in a shadow of the world.

Man thinks he is living in the world, 

but he is not, because he takes pictures of the world 

and on the stage of that mind of pictures, 

he lives according to what is scripted in this mind, 

as a slave to it.

Since he lives with this mind, 

he is just an extra in a tragic play on that stage. 

In this mind, there are all sorts of things: 

there is this and that, judgment and discrimination, 

aging, sickness, life and death, 

the five desires and seven sins; 

there is coming and going, cold and hot, 

high and low, the great and the inferior.

It is a particularly difficult life, 

because he is staging his opera on a fake stage.

Man thinks that he lives in the world because he is great,

but the world comes first, and he should be ashamed

for stealing everything in the world after being born in that world.

He should have just lived, as he was made and placed in the world-

what need was there to steal what belongs to the world 

to make his own picture world?

This has only ever increased man's suffering and burden 

and stopped him from living with freedom.

Your stage is not real but fake and a picture.

If you think about the fact that you are living in a picture, 

isn't it clear that it is terrible and without life;

that it is illusionary?

If you escape from the illusionary stage, 

and come out and live in the world of Truth, 

you will have no worries, 

and you will have the freedom of freedoms.

Such a life sets everyone and everything in the world free.

All human thoughts are pictures and illusions, 

and they are all useless.

They are all futile delusions, 

and even the fact that you are living is a delusion, 

so you must come out from your mind world, 

in order for you to live.
