I'm Not Getting Enough Time to Practice

đŸ”čVen Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A Selection from Casual Conversation with Ven. Pomnyun Sunim(August 15, 2021) đŸ”čQuestion :  I have been practicing for about seven years.Not very long. The practices are beautiful. But I am a mom, I have two very small children, a husband, a household to run, and work commitments outside the household. I find those things, all those worldly things, very time-consuming. It leaves me little time to do spiritual practice formerly on my meditation cushion and it upsets me. I feel quite anxious that I don’t get consistent time to do that. The anxiety is now habitual and it affects my sleep. I feel that death is coming, it is there in the background, but I’m not getting enough time to practice. And it worries me. I ask for your advice. Thank you. đŸ”»Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  đŸ”» All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint

I Don't Practice Any More Since I Became Comfortable

đŸ”čVen Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A Selection from Casual Conversation with Ven. Pomnyun Sunim(August 7, 2021) đŸ”čQuestion :  I’ve been a follower for a while now. My question is when I first started your recommendation to do daily 108-prostration practice 14 years ago, I was just going through a very difficult period in my life and was practicing the daily 108-prostrations just to kind of keep my sanity. There were times I didn’t want to do it but I knew if I didn’t do it, I would be haunted by flashbacks and nightmares that made it difficult to sleep so I was actually diligent with my practice for about a 5year period or so. But then fast forward to now life has become more comfortable, I admit that I’m not even practicing at all anymore. I try practicing from time to time but then I’ll make up excuses or reasons not to do it. I also keep thinking that I don’t need to practice anymore. Or will findmyself running out of time in the day to do it. Yeah I admit that I became what the Greeks kind of call as a lotus eater. In my head I know that this behavior could potentially lead to disaster but it’s kind of like a difficult behavior to shake off. And just asking what are the next steps from this point to sortof get out of this louts eater situation. đŸ”»Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  đŸ”» All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint

Is It True That Negative Aspects I See in Others May Actually Be Reflections of My Mind?

đŸ”čVen Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A Selection from a Dharma Q&A session 2023, 7, 18 đŸ”čQuestion :  Hello, Sunim, It’s my honor to have thisopportunity again to ask a question today. Last time I asked about a question regarding Mother Teresa, I realized how dumb the question was, and I could be more open to different perspectives now. I have been through my personal issues realizing that it is true that nothing is permanent, and it’s really necessary to have correct mindframe to comprehend the things around myself. Today’s question is a bit conceptual. I think it’s somewhat related to your teaching just before. I hope I won’t be scolded by Sunim with another stupid question today. I have been watching my thoughts as part of the efforts to understand myself more and find a way to more happiness. Recently, I have read about an idea that anythingarises in my life is simply the reflection of my mind projected to everything and every person I encounter in my life. I could understand this concept in theory, but I am struggling to accept by heart. I can’t really comprehend the idea that the injustice or selfishness that I see from people couldn’t be justa simple reflection of myself. I thought to myself that it’s not fair to say that I’m responsible for everything that’s happening around myself. I want to hear about Sunim’s advice on this perspective. If I understood it correctly first, and if this is true, then how do I have to embrace this idea to make mylife better? đŸ”»Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  đŸ”» All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint
