Buddhist ties between Korea and Sri Lanka
Buddhist ties between Korea and Sri Lanka
My interest in Sri Lanka dates back to the early 1990s. At the time I was engaged in the raw cotton business with Kabul Lanka Pvt. Ltd in Colombo. I supplied cotton with the company, a joint venture with the Korean Kabul Spinning Company. It was a leading manufacturer and exporter in Sri Lanka's textile sector.

In the name of roses
In the name of roses
On my wife's birthday, I purchased a bouquet of roses from a local flower shop and gifted them to her. Their stunning beauty and strong fragrance captivated me, causing me to linger near them for a prolonged period. This beauty has inspired people to cultivate roses in their gardens, along their fences, and in public parks.

Penchant for winter mountaineering

Nepotism
Nepotism
Jason Lim's early January opinion piece about nepotism prompted me to say a little bit more about possible entanglements and ethical dilemmas of the activity. Furthermore, his article reminded me of what someone had said long ago: “Aptitude tests show that you will succeed in a business where your father is boss.”

As the world drowns in noise
As the world drowns in noise
These days I have been reading a verse from the Book of Matthew (7:7) again and again over several weeks, because these words struck me very much and I wanted to keep them in mind in my daily routine. These words depict God as a gracious, merciful father who is willing to give me anything and everything that I may need. I remember that I made up my mind to keep that in mind. ...

On happiness
The reason we live life is happiness. But we do not know what happiness is, and we do not know what we live for. South Korea currently ranks 102 out of 178 countries on the happiness index - almost last.

Humility in the Bible
Humility in the Bible
Many prophets appeal to us to seek the Lord. Especially in this time of trials, what does it mean to seek the Lord? Prophet Zephaniah says: “Seek the Lord, all you humble … Seek justice, seek humility.” (Zephaniah 2:3).

Mobility rights?
Mobility rights?
I love Seoul's subway. It never fails to bring me to my destination on time. This belief had been firm, until an incident where a specific train did not stop, at certain subway stations, a few days ago.

Beneath the surface of civilization
Beneath the surface of civilization
As the sun rose on a Monday morning over Myeong-dong, downtown Seoul, the eye was struck with horror. A whole alley in the popular shopping district was covered with meter-high rubble and scattered pieces of ruined streetside eateries and stores. Something beyond vandalism appeared to have occurred.
