Ven. Pomnyun Sunim has been advocating a new paradigm of civilization in which everyone becomes happy through practice, creates a better society through active participation in social movements, and protects the environment through a simple life-style.
He founded Join Together Society(JTS) in 1994 to eradicate famine in developing countries; Ecobuddha in 1994 to protect the environment; and Good Friends in 1999 to advocate human rights, help refugees, and promote world peace. He also established the Peace Foundation, a private research institute, in 2004, to bring permanent peace, stability, and unification to the Korean peninsula. Through these organizations, he has devoted himself to advocating human rights, eradicating famine, disease, and illiteracy in many countries (Afghanistan, India, Mongolia, Myanmar, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and North Korea) and promoting peace on the Korean peninsula.
Ven. Pomnyun Sunim has published close to sixty books since 1994. Five of them were translated into English, one was translated into French, 6 of them were translated into Thai, 3 of them were translated into Chinese, 2 were translated into Japanese, and one was translated into Vietnamese.
