New institute helps spread Korean culture, including meditation practices for beginners
Korean culture has a lot to offer the world, from a peace philosophy in action to meditation practices for beginners. These elements of Korean tradition are sorely needed by much of society and could make a major difference in building a brighter future for the planet.
In order to spread the message of all the culture has to offer, philosopher and University of Brain Education President Ilchi Lee recently signed an agreement to launch the Korean Cultural Institute. The agreement was also signed Gao Dabin, president Dalian University.
The two institutions worked collaboratively to launch the institute, which will be a central hub for discussion and appreciation of all the things Korean culture has to offer the world. Located in the heart of Dalian City, the Institute has the opportunity to reach a wide audience.
At times, Korean culture may be overlooked by those in the West. People tend to be more aware of the more dominant Japanese and Chinese cultures, which have been somewhat more influencial on the world stage. However, thinking that traditional Korean thinking and ways of life have nothing to offer would be a mistake.
Many different societies going several millennia were started in Korea. Furthermore, a number of great thinkers and artists have emerged from the peninsula. The impact on the world left behind by these cultural giants was great, and their work should get a wider audience, many people feel.
This is why the Korean Cultural Institute is so important. Through the organization, individuals from different backgrounds can learn more about the Korean thinkers and artists who shaped the modern world. This is a valuable tool for keeping the tradition of this culture alive.
