[@Scott-ju7pm]

What a wonderful interviewer! She asks important questions, then steps out of the way for the teacher to answer. And what a teacher!! My thanks for this talk.

My first impression was one of admiration for the lady interviewing the monk. Her humility and great awareness enabled her to ask the right questions with the necessary respect and love. The monk is cheerful and has great wisdom and is so generous in sharing. Radhakrishnan of the Yo-LAB

[@dennisehernandez4022]

I bought your book. The reason I bought your book was that I parted the book down the middle, which I do with all the books I buy, but yours was full of wisdom. I don't remember the quote that made me buy your book but I remember one of them, which stated," those who have not realized their true self live like the blind...". I was very depressed the day I went to the book store but the more I read it, the more I found myself sharing it with others. So this must mean something...

A flower doesn’t ask why it’s in the world ,and neither should you. Being human should be enough,everything else is gravy.

Things you can see only when you slow down is my life changer. I have been a buddhist from my birth but it's this book actually pave the path for me to use buddhist philosophy in real life. I'm forever greatful for you for writing this book😇

[@CandiceKCandice]

One of the most motivational master. Love his stories and scenarios written in his books I learned and realised a lot of minor things that could cause a big impact in my life or everyday basis that I didn’t aware before. I am very thankful to him and his books Such a humble and helpful master

When that audience ask how to focus on present if it sucks, he basically answered, just to ignore the problems.

[@azharlatif6228]

Striving for perfection is the journey for discovery, step by step,climb, lateral, horizontal, comparisons ,self similar patterns of imagery,neurons switcing on-of at random ,network of nodes,archiving for recall.Never ending consciousness,duality of dreams," ...have been here before,where ever my body-soul choose to be..."

[@salleycoach8505]

I love the way he say about mindfulness and childlike approach. Enjoyed and realized that we are so much idolized about spirituality.

[@ThuyDuongTo-i6d]

Hahaha, my head is just turning around when Haemin explains about aware of awareness ;)) It does require constant practices

[@anonymousalien4280]

His book Things you can see only when you slow down was a wonderful read.. His thoughts are so compelling!

To make a nice comment is a really beautiful action, bless you all. Spreading peace and love and gratitude, like this magical human being, brings joy to our worlds xxx

After listening to the words of Monk Hyemin through KZbin, I received many enlightenments and discounts. In 2017, when I briefly followed you on Facebook, I was grateful and happy that you responded directly. mercy and love 💜

[@kani37seo64]

Awareness of the imperfections of ourselves is the key.

[@kani37seo64]

@@hj-zu3qn So, you are saying businesses people are good people, right? That's total garbage mind. It's 21 century. He is believing in Buddhism and emphasizes 'Awareness of human beings and the universe'. He has a good car, house and money. What's wrong with that? Did he steal those things from you or other people? There are monks who meditate in secret mountains with minimal uses. And there are monks who live in the centre of crowds and help people to cope with their realities. Which monks are practically better for people? Do not judge others by your tiny uneducated mind!

[@jennifersmiles]

A serendipitous find on my KZbin newsfeed. I appreciate this interview so much, and I am so grateful to have stumbled on Haemin Sunim's knowledge and wisdom. This came at the right time in my life :) Thank you for sharing!

[@AadhiraiSathyavathi]

The concept of stalking, what is it that triggers the stalker to stalk, a particular person, is it the Physical Appearance of the Person's Body, Speech, Voice, Life, Lifestyle, Beauty, Skin, Color, Food, Money, Wealth, Just Spying on others, Possessiveness, Control...and many more. What are they essentially looking for from the Person, whom they are stalking !? Our worldly ecosystem, will be safe and secure, if we actually start taking initiatives to embrace them collectively in a Forum.

Oh master! Superb interview. I convey Love & Respect to Haemin 스님.

[@e-cuauhtemoc]

Master??? LOL!!! I know Bong very well, he is anything but a master of Chogye Dharma.

[@SusannaSaunders]

@7.45 life is not "Good or Great", life is a Demand. It is a Coercion, it is a Twisting to Suit itself... One that I didn't ask to have Forced upon me. Life is Suffering! In fact that is pretty much all life is.

[@asifekbal4867]

Superb sir thanks for helping to cope up with real life difficult

[@katherenewedic8076]

Who has had the experience of expressing to someone how you really feel, profound grief to the point of self pity for example, and then been shunned?

[@emmayu1847]

Same here.

[@rmsnyc2011]

Katherene - I take the advice of Brene Brown, she said that people have to earn the right to hear your story. This, for me, includes Grief. I am not a Dharma teacher or a therapist, but I am a meditator... I recently used my practice and a short trip to a monastery to self-heal. It helped tremendously. So, I just want to share that I made my own place to heal myself and did not expose myself to people who would shun me or simply not understand. Sending Smiles.

[@katherenewedic8076]

@@rmsnyc2011 well she has a pretty good business going which is very important probably more important than anything else in our materialistic culture so undoubtedly she knows something however there is something to be said about bearing witness to another human being because we're human beings

[@Racingmix]

Key to Success: 11:40 Can we remember the last time when we were peaceful and happy?

[@Canardeur]

What if you can't?

[@Racingmix]

Canardeur I'll bite. I'm not a monk but don't think one has to be to seek happiness. This has to be a universal value. For the person asking such a question, I'd put thought into what makes one happy and build move modify improve their life to experience more of that. Subjectively, bringing a smile to someone's face be it a family or friend even a random stranger can make me happy. Doesn't take much effort.

[@gyunge3617]

Just experiencing life without constant judgement and identification is what I am trying. Who knows what I will feel from the experience but let it happen and just be.

[@haeminsunimthelight.1971]

Thank you.

[@AlexKellyArtUK]

If the Buddha had never strived for perfection he would never have become a Buddha. If he had said to himself, “oh well I’m imperfect,I’ve got these faults I should just accept them and not try to do better” he would have not discovered that there is actually a way to reach perfection that goes beyond all suffering and stress. The Buddhist path starts not with accepting one’s faults but with actually recognising that your current situation is not ideal but that you have the ability to change that yourself. That ability starts, with a recognition that your actions (kamma) matter and have consequences for you personally.

[@choywanng3531]

When do you suppose human beings will just start being human beings in our culture and start actually give up consumption and materialism and stop self-aggrandizing and put our money where our pretentious ideas are and actually do something rather than sitting around talking about it and patting ourselves on the back

[@rmsnyc2011]

Idk where you like, but one idea is to take a screenshot of him in the hat and take it to a Nepalese or Tibetan shop and ask if they have any thick knit hats like that.

혜민스님 영어 잘하시네요:)

[@kpark3458]

네.. 그런데 너무 you know 를 많이 쓰시네요. ㅎㅎ 한국어로 하시는게 훨씬 있어보이실텐데.. 아쉽습니다.

[@kpark3458]

msjksh 제가 존경하는 도올 김용옥 선생님, 심리학자 황상민 박사님과 함께 혜민 스님 역시 하버드 나온다고 영어 잘하는게 아니라는 증명을 해주십니다.

[@gyunge3617]

이만큼 하시면 엄청 잘하시는거죠. 미국에유학왔다가 대학교수하시는 분들도 영어가 자연스럽지 못한분들 많이봤어요.

[@kpark3458]

Geena E 자연스러운것이 다 중요한게 아니에요. 좀 경박하게 들리기 때문에 내용에 집중하기가 어렵고 진중하게 내용을 받아들이기 힘들기 때문이에요. 발음, 문법이 약간 틀리는거 이런거 가지고 트집잡는게 아니구요. 학자의 진중함이 느껴지지 않아 가장 중요한 전달력이 떨어지기 때문입니다. 제가 혜민스님을 좋아하기 때문에 더 아쉬워요. 전문 통역을 쓰시는게 훨씬 좋았을 거에요. 혜민스님도 사람인지라 영어를 완벽하게 해야한다고 생각하지 않습니다. 다만 자신의 한계를 아시고 통역을 쓰셨어야 한다고 생각해요. 저 혼자만의 생각이 아니고 외국인들의 반응만 봐도 알 수 있습니다.

[@goldbada]

k park 저는 외국에서 태어나서 쭉 살다가 지금 전문 통번역을 하고있어요. 물론 혜민스님이 네이티브 스피커는 아니고 "you know"를 많이 사용하고 계시지만 저는 영어가 굳이 완벽한 발음과문법을 구사해야된다고 생각하지않아요. 편안하고 자신감있게 자신의 의사를 표현하는게 더 중요하죠. 혜민스님을 전 잘 모르지만 우리가 흔히 생각하는 무겁고 권위적이고 지나치게 "진중한" 스님의 모습이 아니라 우리가 쉽게 접근할 수 있는 편안하고 인간적인 혜민스님의 모습이 그대로 전해져서 오히려 신선하고 좋은데요~
