    Pursuing Social Justice Without Emotional Distress

    🔹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. I imagine the worst scenarios that I’m not even exposed to, and it’s quite tormenting. At some point, I decided to look the other way, and stopped even reading or listening to news, so I can be happy. As we’re learning about social justice in our class, I felt that as a practitioner, I should be more proactive. My question is, how can I actively engage in social justice while protecting myself from the torment? Thank you.     🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism): https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/    🔻 All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint

    The Relationship Between Nature and Justice

    🔹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 examples you give, I can’t help but come up with a lot of counterexamples in my head. I feel everything that doesn’t defy the laws of physics happen in nature. So, it’s hard to see why we would pick out some aspects of it but not others. I have this situation where my heart accepts what you’re saying, but my head is coming up with a bunch of questions. So, I was hoping you could help me reconcile these differences.     🔻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 Am Deeply Irritated by People Who Don't Keep Social Norms

    🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A Selection from Casual Conversation with Ven. Pomnyun Sunim (October 10, 2021) 🔹Question :  My concern is I feel deeply annoyed andconcerned that people not taking the covid pandemic and climate change seriously. It's difficult for me to see people not wearing a mask or driving an SUV to kids' playgrounds. What can I do to counteract my annoyance, practice my patience and, at the same time, announce issues maybe make people more sensitive towards them? 🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  🔻 All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint

    Can I Stay Attached to Emotions as an Artist?

    🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at Jogyesa Temple, Seoul (June 14, 2019) 🔹Question :  I’m an artist. I’m working as a professionalballet dancer in Korea. I have a question related with art and creation. So I personally need to often detach from my emotions and feelings. So I need to do this quite often. I don’t know, just my emotions can get too wild somehow. And I feel that I have the need to sort of process like detaching of my own feelings in a way. But I feel when I do that, there is something very strongabout it like I can feel it not only inside of me, but they are around me too. But at the same time, as an artist, as a ballet dancer I feel that, also as a creator, I feel like if there is no attachment to feelings, I feel there is noreal creation. I feel that if I don’t really attach to emotions, to any emotion, there is no really something I can create inside of me. I would just make something which it could be like beauty, but you know, that depth, it comes from attachment to my emotions and feelings. So I would like to ask you if there is a way to do not detach these, so then I can avoid suffering in a very high level but at the same time to be able to bring creation. Thank you. 🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  🔻 All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint

    I Want to Regain My Freedom through Baseball

    🔹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 are many more times when I feel I am more stressed about baseball. My question to you is, as I move forward and try to regain some of that freedom, some of that control over the game, and my relationship to it. Do you have any tools to redefine that outlook on the sport? 🔻Jungto Dharma School(Introduction to Buddhism):https://www.jungtosociety.org/jungto-dharma-school-online-course/  🔻 All Jungto Society’ssocial platforms: http://linktr.ee/jungtoint
