“THE LIFE OF ENLIGHTENMENT:
A Practical Guide to Spiritual Awakening and Inner Freedom”
Hexagonal Era series – Book 1
by Sho Gong Ja(Author), Golden Kid (Editor)
Enlightenment is not an escape from life—it is the deepest way of living it. This book reveals the path hidden in the life you already have.
This book is a profound and practical guide to living awakening in the midst of everyday life. Originally published in Korea in 1992, this newly translated and edited English edition brings the timeless wisdom of Sho Gong Ja into clear, accessible language for modern readers seeking spiritual awakening, inner freedom, and authentic transformation.
In this book, Sho Gong Ja offers a direct and compassionate exploration of what true happiness, inner peace, and freedom really mean—and how they can be realized not through escape from life, but through engaging deeply with the life you already have. Rather than presenting enlightenment as a distant ideal or abstract philosophy, he shows how your workplace, home, relationships, emotions, and daily challenges are the very training ground in which awakening matures.
Guiding the reader step by step, the author illuminates how to observe the mind, recognize patterns of suffering, release attachments, and return to the natural clarity of one’s true self. Drawing on principles found across meditative traditions—such as mindfulness, self-inquiry, awareness of the present moment, and seeing through the ego—this book integrates them into a simple and grounded approach that anyone can practice.
The teachings emphasize that spiritual awakening does not require withdrawing from society or seeking extraordinary experiences. Instead, enlightenment unfolds through steady attention, honest self-reflection, and the courageous willingness to look directly at one’s thoughts, emotions, and habits. Sho Gong Ja’s guidance is practical, compassionate, and deeply rooted in lived experience, offering both encouragement and a clear path for transformation.
As part of the “Hexagonal Era” series, this work also explores the evolution of human consciousness and the emergence of a new era of understanding. It connects personal awakening with broader shifts occurring at the level of collective consciousness, offering a unique perspective for readers interested in the intersection of spirituality, psychology, and global transformation.
Whether you are new to the spiritual path or have practiced meditation, mindfulness, or self-inquiry for many years, this book provides fresh insight and enduring inspiration. It speaks to seekers, meditators, spiritual practitioners, and anyone navigating a life transition or yearning to reconnect with their true nature.
This English edition preserves the essence of the original teachings while presenting them in a refined, readable form for an international audience. Many readers will find themselves returning to its pages again and again, discovering new layers of meaning and guidance each time. For anyone seeking spiritual awakening, inner peace, or genuine freedom of the heart, The Life of Enlightenment offers a clear and transformative companion on the path.
