🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A 2024. 01.07 🔹Question : Hello and thank you, Sunim. I’m currently takingthe Introduction to Buddhism II course. Here’s my question. I have a hard time dealing with suffering in the world. I get too emotional, and it takes days to get over the thoughts and sadness.

At some point, I decided to look the other way, and stopped even reading or listening to news, so I can be happy.

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A 2022. 7. 17 🔹Question : Hello, Sunim. Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. I often see Sunim suggesting that we could look to nature to draw a more universally acceptable definition of justice. For example, you’ve said that because animals in the wild don’t take care of their parents once they mature, we shouldn’t be seen as evil even if we choose not to take care of our own parents. While I wholeheartedly agree that, at a fundamental level, your approach could be the most sustainable and peaceful approach. But when it comes to the specific…

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A 2018. 1. 16 🔹Question : I play a sport here. I play baseball. I haveplayed baseball since I was three years old. Since that point, I have loved baseball. It has become a part of my identity. As I got older, got better at playing. It became a kind of physical meditation in a way that I could turn my mind off through playing the game. But then coming to college, I found that the stresses attached to baseball made it harder to separate my mind and my body while playing the sport. I still see some moments where that kind of freedom comes through in the game. But there…

I heard thatif I managed to be ascetic and conserve sexual energy, I could be more healthy and productive or even experience transcendence. There is some Tantric Buddhism to pursue this state, but in reality, it seems difficult to do so. Or we don’tknow the true benefit of it, so we’re not motivated to do so. My boyfriend said that if he ejaculates, he loses lots of strength and energy. So, I hope he’ll learn how to be abstinent to conserve his energy. We are spiritual people, so we want to experience tantric…

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A 2023. 9. 9 🔹Question : I have a question about inner life. I’m relatively new to Dharma. We talk about letting go of myself and recognizing our oneness with everyone, even with those that I may contend with. Recently I have difficulty doing that, and I heard of the idea that if I didn’t recognize my own agency or free will, I might let go of myself more easily. But I don’t find that’s helping. I’m wondering about your experience. How do you let go of yourself? How do you recognize thoroughly your unity with everyone? What does that feel like for you internally?…
