[New Release] 'Dakjang Diary' View original image


◆Chicken Coop Diary= This sheds light on the cheerful lives of the nuns living in the beautiful ecological community 'Jindong Yosep's House.' It is a process of farming, raising chickens, and adapting to nature. With honest and witty writing, it interestingly conveys the events happening in the small world of the chicken coop. On top of various stories, it also explores issues such as life, death, fate, and suffering. Reflecting our way of life, it offers insight into human affairs.


"Today, I found a fairly large young chicken dead. It seems to be the one that had a shock in front of Jindong yesterday. Ultimately, I realized that whether a person or an animal, it is difficult to live on after experiencing a major incident that stops the heart. When facing a big shock, it is beneficial in many ways to have a generous heart. The nuns bury the chickens under the persimmon tree when they die. Then microorganisms decompose them, turning into fertilizer that helps the tree grow strong. The persimmon tree bears many fruits, some of which fall to the ground early and become food for the chickens, while others become ours in the fall."
