Greed

April 16, 2021
Greed

Greed is not just hoping for something too big and impossible.

“It is also greed wanting to have two contradictory things.”

Greed is when you want to achieve something without working for it.

If you want to be blessed, you must accumulate merits. 

If you don’t want to be punished, you must avoid committing wrongs. 

Greed arises when you commit a wrong, but don’t want to be punished for it.

We suffer when we desire something that doesn’t make sense. 

If you live according to the principles of life, your life will be free, and you won’t suffer from greed.  

-Ven. Pomnyun Sunim

Wisdom For You

What is the purpose of life?

This question has no answer.
This is because life already existed before the thought of why it exists
emerges in one’s consciousness. It is impossible to find a reason for our
being because our thoughts are a byproduct of our lives.

Life has already been gifted to you and will naturally end when you die.
In the life you are already living, the choice you can make is whether you will live happily or miserably.

— Ven. Pomnyun Sunim
