What is "Dao"?

Dao is the way, is something that comes before yin and yang. For our ancestors it was the beginning and the end. Everything is destined to origin from Dao and returns to it. It is a whole World that we - as humans - cannot figure out. Because of this, Yin and Yang were born.

Only understanding the importance of harmony between yin and yang, we can learn about Dao and become a Dao Master (dosa).

So, Dao is the primary truth, is what comes before yin and yang. Once we established it, we can easily understand what is "Yin" and what is "Yang".

First of all, they are the oldest principle of the universe. As we know, there are many examples of yin and yang: fire and water, man and woman, light and shadows... and so on.

Basically, these are the two forces that carries the World, and most of all… balance it!

Yin and Yang also are the bases for the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal and water, each one represented by yin or yang. The yang represents Wood and Fire: the birth and the growth. The yin represents the metal and the water: maturity and rest. These are all connected by the Earth.

 South Korea in 2018; Through my Eyes      2018 for me was a very significant year. I was in my final year in highschool and my sister who I was and still am very close to, got accepted as an exchange student (교환 학생: Gyo-Hwan Hak-Saeng) to Kyungpook National University in Daegu. I was very anxious about being so far from her for almost a whole year and soon after her departure in February of 2018, I was very dejected. Fast forward to a few months later, in the month of May, my father informed us to pack our bags for travel. It was only by mid-May did I find out that we would be traveling to South Korea! I was beyond ecstatic!    2018 in South Korea was quite a hectic time as well. Earlier in the year, the country had its first talk with North Korea in a decade, at the Joint Security Area* (JSA) regarding sending its athletes to South Korea, as it hosted the Winter Olympics for that year, in Pyeongchang. Later that year, the South Korean local and by-election also took place. These ar
