Book Description
Witty, wise, and hope-filled, Five Fortunes is a large-hearted tale of five vivid and unforgettable women who know where they've been but have no idea where they're going. A lively octogenarian, a private investigator, a mother and daughter with an unresolved past, and a recently widowed politician's wife share little else except a thirst for new dreams, but after a week at the luxurious health spa known as "Fat Chance" their lives will be intertwined in ways they couldn't have imagined. At a place where doctors, lawyers, spoiled housewives, movie stars, and captains of industry are stripped of the social markers that keep them from really seeing one another, unexpected friendships emerge, reminding us of the close links between the rich and the poor, fortune and misfortune, and the magic of chance.

Book Description
There was a requested term “Please inform us the beneficial exercise for Parkinsonism. I am shiftless and don’t want to go out during fighting against a disease. I am concerned that even can not walk anymore in spite of taking medicine. I wish to know how to exercise in home simply” on 23th Mar, 2013 in Daum Café “Realizing a world without Parkinsonism.” And then, I have responded to that as “Title : The Easiest Way To Strengthen Immunity - according to electronic book ‘TAEEULSUNAEDAN METHOD(太乙手內丹法) as DANJEON BREATHING that is realized naturally by clenching our hands’, you will have considerable effects by taking advantage of this two method : 1.

SUGMYEONCHWINAEDAN METHOD(宿眠取內丹法)-it enables us to accumulate energy while we sleep.” on 26th Mar, 2013. 130 days later, I have received email including message “your response has been selected by Netizen” from Daum. When I visited my septuagenary acquaintance as old woman, she who can’t even walk normally was only sitting in the living in 2019. Thus, I have informed her of SUNAEDAN JEONGCHE METHOD(手內丹正體法)-to recover strength, correct the twisted body shape and actualize smooth circulation of energy by instructing her to conduct this health energy gymnastics everyday. 3 months later, I have heard news on her adequate recuperation to climb a mountain.

The following physical changes were recorded in JUKGAN, a bamboo book excavated from Tomb No. 3 in 1974, and HANMU JENAEJEON, which is believed to have been organized during the YUKJO period. “If you cherish fundamental substance(精) preciously and hold your fingers firmly with swallowing saliva like newly born baby, the energy turns to blood(血) and blood turns to fundamental substance(精), fundamental substance(精) turns to liquid(液) and finally liquid(液) turns to bone. You feel full of fundamental substance(精) and spirit(神) as you continue to do this without getting tired. To do this, radical energy(氣) changes in one year, blood changes in two years, meridian and blood vessel change in three years, physical(肉) skin and flesh change in four years, bone marrow(骨髓) changes in five years, tendon(筋) and muscles change in six years, bone(骨) changes in seven years, each body hair changes in eight year, the whole body shape(形) changes in nine years. Change itself cause alternation and Tao(道) is completed. Once Tao(道) is completed, it become the status of BUDDHA. In this way, when communicating with the BUDDHA, the profoundness and mysteriousness cannot be expressed in writing.” [Sources : MAWANGTOEHANMYO excavated from Bamboo Pole(竹簡) [SIBMUN(十問)] MAWANGTOEHANMYO BAEGSEO(帛書) – MUNMUL Publishing Company, 1985.
