   "The things that we would like to avoid like pain, despair, and ongoing   
   disputes are the reality that we must undertake, and the   
   things that we would like to live with, like wealth and money, are those that   
   we must release. They are the shadows of desire,''   
   he said.   
      
   "Yes, life will be difficult, not only in Korea, but also globally. People are   
   worried but we must not avoid the reality. We must   
   overcome things, and we must do this spiritually. The most important way is to   
   control our minds. We must be modest and stop   
   searching for luxury and wealth. If we have a clear mind, we can overcome   
   anything,''   
   Ven. Ji Kwan stressed.
