Descripción

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A 2022/6/19 🔹Question :  Hello, Sunim. It’s very nice to meet you. With climate change and the few years we have left to avert worldwide disaster, just as the Buddhist monks fought forKorean liberation from the Japanese occupation, what can we do as practitioners to help liberate all beings from the impending climate disaster? Many people in the modern information age do jobs that are not focused on solving the climate crisis. Do we need to rethink how we spend our lives, our time and our resources before it it too late to change the course of the climate emergency? 🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  🔻 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?

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A Selection from a Dharma Q&A session 2023, 7, 18 🔹Question :  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? 🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  🔻 All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint

How to Focus on Solving the Climate Crisis

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A Selection from a Dharma Q&A session 2022, 7, 17 🔹Question :  Hi, Sunim. Thank you so much for letting mecome and ask a question. I was very lucky to ask a couple talks ago, and I learned a lot. And I have more questions. So I am ready to make changes in my life with my job and maybe even where I live so that I can focus on working on the climate crisis. But I also have two children who are 13 and 15 years old. They’re very attached to their home, their friends, and their school. And in order for me to change my focus, I think we would need to move from where we live because where we live is very expensive. So I’m trying to think about what makes sense here, and I feel a little stuck balancing what they need and want and this very short 3 to 5 year timeline that we have. I would love to know your thoughts. 🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  🔻 All Jungto Society’s social platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint

"I’m Angry That Japan Will Be Releasing Treated Radioactive Water into the Ocean "

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A 2023. 7. 16 🔹Question : Hi, Sunim. Thank you for the opportunity to ask you a question. Japan will soon begin releasing treated radioactive water into the ocean 12 years after the nuclear meltdown from the Fukushima nuclear power plants damaged by the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. From the environment concerns and the fear about food safety, I’vebeen feeling angry against the Japanese government and frustration at the Korean government’s lack of action to protect its own people. So many thoughts and emotions occur to me when it comes to this issue. What would be the Buddhist approach to reviewing and addressing these issues? How can I apply the Middle Way in this situation? 🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  🔻 All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint
