🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A

Selection from Casual Conversation with Ven. Pomnyun Sunim (November 14, 2020)

🔹Question: Hello Sunim, I’m very happy to be here and talk to you. I was actually in South Korea for seven years. I worked at Samsung Electronics, then I finally moved to America in Seattle, Washington. So the first time I watched your dharma talk was in 2014 when you gave a talk at Google. From then, because of you, I got interested in Buddhism and understanding Buddhist Principles. So my question today is about how to make good choices using Buddhist principles. Even today, in the introduction you've talked about taking responsibility for the choices so this might be repetitive. I recently had two choices and one choice was to work for company A and the other choice was to work for company B. Before committing to a choice, I want to understand how do we apply some of the Buddhist principles and evaluate which choice to make. This kind of making choices happened to me many times, like choosing Seattle versus California, or choosing America versus South Korea. So before we make a choice, what things we have to go through in our minds?. That’s my question, how do we make choices and evaluate choices?

🔹Question: It's a real pleasure to see you again, Sunim. I have two questions. The first question is last week you've responded about being in the death bed, diagnosed with acancer and still being grateful. How can I start training myself today so I can get to that state of gratefulness?

🔹Question: Hello! It's nice to meet you in person. I'm Catholic and about to graduate from medical school. I am pro-choice and believe in using contraception. It's something thatI will recommend to my patients if medically necessary. Is it okay to be Catholic and have conflicting values with my religion?
