Why do the same problems keep repeating in life?
You change jobs, change partners, move to a new city?believing everything will be different. Yet somehow you find yourself standing in the same place again: the same anger, the same fear, the same sense of powerlessness.
This is not a matter of luck.
It is a problem in the underlying configuration of the mind.
This book places the Diamond Sutra and the I Ching side by side?not as religious scriptures, but as two complementary cognitive tools.
The Diamond Sutra provides the delete command.
It helps uninstall the old programs that have caused suffering again and again?attachments to the self, mistaken assumptions about time, and distorted projections onto the world.
The I Ching provides the reboot principle.
After deletion, it helps you read the energetic pattern of the present moment, locate where you stand, and make choices that no longer repeat the past.
The book is organized into four parts:
Part I explains the design principles behind these two cognitive tools.
Part II helps you diagnose which type of "programming error" lies behind your recurring life difficulties.
Part III presents a five-step operational process?from switching into observer mode to forming new cognitive loops.
Part IV explores a deeper shift in perspective: from being a character driven by the program to becoming the field capable of rewriting the program.
This is not a book about becoming "better."
It is a book about waking up.
It is not about belief.
It is about reconfiguring the architecture of the mind.
Autorentext
Fu-Ming Chuang is a Taiwanese writer whose creative impulse runs alongside his professional life in the optics consulting and international trade field. Having worked as a consultant and liaison in complex export and coordination operations, he has cultivated a refined attention to structure, detail, and systems. Meanwhile, his academic pursuit in Asia-Pacific Studies lends him sensitivity to history, culture, and regional interconnections.
For Fu-Ming, writing is a parallel channel to reality?a way to let imagination stretch beyond the constraints of systems and rules, to explore the inner worlds of his characters. In his storytelling, he weaves mythic elements with human dilemmas, inviting readers to feel both epic tension and the quiet emotional undercurrents of each character.
In The Chronicle of the Bronze Tree trilogy, he channels his reflections on cultural inheritance, conflict between civilizations, and personal choice into a narrative that aspires to be more than just an adventure?it is a dialogue between memory and the possible future.
Outside his writing desk, he enjoys walking along old mountain trails, poring over folklore, and listening to the whispers of wind through ancient trees. To him, writing is a conversation with time and an exchange of signals with worlds yet to unfold.
