🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
Ven. Pomnyun's Answer to " The Balance Between Our OwnHappiness And Other People’s Happiness” Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at Google (Nov. 10, 2014)
🔹Question : I’m not sure if you are suggesting that appiness is sort of the state that we should ideally be seeking. But if it is, I think to the people that I know who are the happiest and they are actually the people that are most selfish. And I observe that they’re very happy because they spend, you know, all of our time and energy are limited. And they spend their time and energy on their own goals and their own interests. And they don’t really help others. And that doesn’t seem to be the ideal way of living. The ideal way of living seems to be some balance between seeking your own happiness and also seeking others’ happiness. On the other end of the spectrum, I see other people who are very selfless and help a lot of people selflessly. But actually because ey’re so neglectful their own needs they are unhappy. So it seems like we need some sort of balance, right? How would you suggest striking an appropriate balance between addressing other people’s needs increasing other people’s happiness, and our own happiness?

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
Ven. Pomnyun's Answer to "Worldly Life Versus InwardLife Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at Google (Nov. 10, 2014)
🔹Question : In your first answer that was a really beautiful. You talked about the importance of the how instead of the what. And I was wondering as people try to go down this path and look more inwards, how do you advise them in terms of spending their time inwards. Maybe people come to you for the monastic tradition. How do you advise people if the career or the worldly life versus more of an inward life? Do you have any advice?

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
2019. 12. 24.
🔹Question : I’ve always been a curious person ever since I was a little boy. For example, when there was an ant’s nest, I would watch to see where the ants are going, where they’regetting their food and the trails they make. Now in English speaking cultures, there’s a saying ignorance is bliss. Actually I’ve found curiosity to be one of the more positive factors in my life. It doesn’t seem like ignorance is bliss, is one of the approaches of the Jungto Society. For example, I’ve seen you give talks with a podium like this where it says Happiness school in Korean, and then later on we see a video about some three minute clip or so about some starving children in North Korea or a bird dying full of plastic. So is it possible for me to become happy without losing the awareness of those things that are happening in the world?OK. (Laughs) It’s something that I hope is true, but I don’t know if I can have blind faith that it is true.

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
2023. 8. 5
🔹Question : I have a goal of impacting the world on a global scale which has involved several reliminary teps including becoming a positive influence for everyone I meet and encounter. I found that impacting veryone around me has been necessary for my own growth because the people I interact with can influence me as well. I have successfullymotivated many people to live prosperous, fulfilling lives. But I have encountered many disconnected people either under trauma or suffering from depression or doubt. They reject the most basic lessons of creating inner happiness and fulfillment. And I believe that they don't mean to do this butinstead, I believe that they do this because of loss of identity and they believe that they don't deserve to be happy. So, here's my question. How can one start to believe in their own happiness, believe they deserve it and obtain the courage and knowledge to start growing happiness and compassion for oneself when their life views have become badly misshapen by trauma, self doubt, or depression. I know that working towards something in this magnitude is one ofthe hardest things that one can do. And I want to help others achieve this substantial goal, people who have been lost and forgotten about. Thank you very much.

🔹Question : I’m struggling between pursuing my dream and wanting to be with the person I’m in love. Just to tell you a little bit about myself, I’m a student studying in theStates, and I’m just here for the summer vacation. And my boyfriend is in Korea right now. Would it be unreasonable or ridiculous to follow my heart and decide to be with my boyfriend and not necessarily pursue my dream in the States?

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
2024. 11. 18
🔹Question : I have a hard time trusting in relationships, especially, in romantic relationships. I have a hard time trusting men because my dad had affairs growing up when I was a child. So, I became pretty certain that I don't want to get married because I subconsciously think that marriage is the path to misery. But because I'm human, I still want to date and be in love. But whenever I get into relationships, I find that I get very anxious and worried about if I could trust this person. Instead of enjoying and feeling like I'm in love, I just feel more anxious. I think it comes from wanting to protect myself. I don't want to get hurt for any reason. But I don't know if I can truly open up and just enjoy relationships instead of always feeling on edge or anxious. That's my question.

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
2022. 3. 25.
🔹Question : I have a question about how to deal with the relationship between my girlfriend and my parents. Here’s the situation where I struggled a lot. So my personality is abit introverted and independent and my parents, they also don’t express their care a lot. But I can feel, I know they care about me, they love me. But sometimes my girlfriend will be mad at me because of how my parents treat me. Because sometimes how my parents behave, from my girlfriend’s perspective it’s like ignoring me. So I understand both sides, they both love me. But whenever I hear complaints from my girlfriend talking about my parents, I understand herpoints but I just don’t really feel comfortable because I can’t change my parents. They have their own stereotype and their own personality. So I’m trying to find a balance in myself because I love and appreciate both of them. Yeah that’s my question.

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A 2024. 7. 15.
🔹Question: (Questioner) Hello, I just have a quickquestion. You talked about the climate change and that people need to change. For me, it seems clear that people should or even must love and care about each other. But, at the same time, it's painfully clear that we don't. I have some personal experience that I was engaged in some activism.
My experience made me very cynical about even what humans are and what we deserve. Maybe it's wrong for me to want to love people or want people to care about each other.
I was wondering what's your take on it, given that you aretrying to help people. I'm sure you have seen a lot of people not helping others.

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
Selection from a Dharma Q & A at Harvard University Sep.20, 2017
🔹Question:
I am a third year undergraduate. This is my first year back after serving two years in the Korean military. I thought, after two years hiatus, I'd be older and wiser. I was in a situation where I didn't have any phone, I didn't have any alcohol. I was surrounded by a bunch of guys all the time. So at night, Iwould always dream of coming back to school How amazing it would be. I was always unhappy because I had all these desires and yearnings not only about academia but about all the other freedom I would have outside. Now that I amhere, I get way too many emails, I have way too many assignments, I am always too stressed. It is the classic problem of grass is greener on the other side. I am really trying hard every day to think it is still better than being in thearmy. It is still better than unclogging toilets and doing the dishes every day. But I feel like I am still swayed so much by this eternal struggle of finding happiness from where I am. So I was wondering if maybe I am doing something wrong, I am trying to brainwash myself thinking this is good this isbetter than what I had before or if there is another way to do it.🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A 2024. 12. 2🔹Question: Hello, Sunim. It's really nice meeting you in person. I have a question on my hand, but please bear with me looking through my question because I'm quite nervous. Currently, I'm between jobs and maintain a peaceful mindset despite life's uncertainty. While some people say that being desperate and driven is essential for getting a job or a goal, I also value my hard-earned peaceful life. But, at the same time, I recognize the need for balance and to avoid complacency. So, in this situation, how can I navigate this situation? I don't want to live a stressful life, but, at the same I don't want to live a complacent life.🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/ 🔻 Find more at thefollowing links: http://www.jungtosociety.org http://www.pomnyun.comhttps://www.instagram.com/jungto.society/https://www.instagram.com/ven.pomnyun.sunim/https://www.facebook.com/pomnyundailyquote https://insighttimer.com/jungtokorea 🔻 All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint

🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at St. ThomasEpiscopal Church in Sunnyvale, California (Nov. 8, 2014)
🔹Question: As we live, weencounter problems such as love and betrayal. We encounter people that betray you like friends, business partners or even your loved ones. For me, it's very hard to forgive regardless of what happened. A lot of my friends tell me that I should for give the person regardless of what happened. I think betrayal is worse than getting love because betrayal means that you were being loved and thrown back. I tried to understand that we should forgive. But, then am Iwrong? Animals don't forgive each other. Animals attack back if they were being betrayed. Am I wrong if I have no feeling, if I have no reason to forgive the person back?
