Ven. Pomnyun's Answer to "I Can’t Find Inner Peace."
Selection from a Dharma Q&A session in UCLA (Nov. 16, 2014)

[@OYT0724]

Most westerners, including the questioner, may not know about Pomnyun's own traumatic experience living under a dictatorship. In 1979 South Korea, Pomnyn sunim was falsely accused of funding the local farmer's union protests. Under false charges he was arrested, jailed, and tortured by the secret police. He was tied in ropes so they could twist his spine, waterboard, and beat him with a baseball bat. His advice to the questioner actually comes from experience.

스님의 설법은 선문답처럼 이해하기 어려운것이 아니라 너무나 보편적이면서도 합리적입니다 인과의 맥을 정확하게 짚어주어 시원하고 명쾌합니다 스님 말씀을 들어갈수록 내 인생이 점점 행복해짐을 느낍니다 항상 감사합니다 통역사님도 너무 멋지고 훌륭하십니다

[@metanoia1122]

Venerable Pomnyun Sunim, thank you. Your wisdom and compassion are profound and unmatched. This woman's suffering and your response moved me to tears.

스님 지혜로운 말씀 고맙습니다

[@무공해사나이]

우울증, 불안, 과거가 나를 괴롭힐때에는 어떠한 과거이든 나의 강인한 DNA를 만드는 공부거리였기 때문에 결코 원망하거나 불평해서는 안된다. 감사하는 마음이 들때 평화가 오는 것이다. 과거의 까르마를 고치는 방법은 내 생활패턴중에 30%를 바꾸어 보라. 즉, 내가 만나는 사람, 특히 부정적인 사람을 멀리하고 새로운 사람들과 생활패턴을 바꾸어 보라. 그리고 취미생활도 30%이상 바꾸면 까르마로부터 자유롭게 된다.

[@andrewortiz9226]

he didn't give a good answer!! acceptance of life and embracing our struggles and embracing are lack of peace brings instant peace!! read Eckhart Tolle, this guy is not that good at giving advice!!

[@s2eketei]

I think it has more to do with your lack of understanding of what he’s saying. In a way, by him saying to try and also look at her situation from a positive point of view whether than negative and that there could’ve been a different (worst, where as others died for the same reasons) she is alive and to “embrace her struggle” and appreciate her life now.....she will have inner peace. She will never find inner peace by “replaying the video” without embracing that it was in the past and use it to appreciate where she is now.

[@andrewortiz9226]

@@s2eketei Have you heard of Eckhart Tolle and my favorite teacher mooji, I've learned many things from them!!

[@s2eketei]

Andrew Ortiz Good for you!

Maybe you can practice his method then decide. He definitely helped me. It is your opinion and if you prefer different practice then it is what it is.
