When a husband and wife have a bad relationship,
it isn\u2019t the result of their destiny or their previous lives.
It develops from their misunderstanding of each other.
If they truly listen to each other and try to understand,
their relationship will work out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BDG was privileged to join this unique assembly of monastic and lay practitioners, leaders and activists, to share a Dharmic journey that combined elements of study, experiential workshops, and field trips, with the discipline and commitment of a traditional Buddhist retreat.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the young leaders attending this learning experience was Venerable Ugyen Choden, who was one among 142 female monastics to receive full ordination at a landmark ceremony in the Kingdom Bhutan in June 2022.*** Organized by the Bhutan Nuns Foundation, this was a historic step toward realizing greater equality within the monastic institutions of Buddhism in the world\u2019s last remaining country with an unbroken Vajrayana tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The revered Korean Dharma master and social activist Venerable Pomnyun Sunim (\ubc95\ub95c\uc2a4\ub2d8) was invited to be a keynote speaker at the the 20th New Korea Forum, which was hosted by interfaith NGO the Korea Religions Association in Seoul on 13 July. In an insightful and perceptive examination of the prevailing geopolitical climate in the region, Ven. Pomnyun Sunim delivered a talk titled \u201cAddressing Rising Tensions on the Korean Peninsula: Pathways to Peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The New Korea Forum is a monthly conference that invites prominent social figures and leaders to address various topics related to peace and unification of the Korean Peninsula, to discuss national development, and to push initiatives working toward the establishment of peace worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis. If that doesn\u2019t work, we could explore the possibility of engaging in discussions with Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Korea Forum is a monthly conference that invites prominent social figures and leaders to address various topics related to peace and unification of the Korean Peninsula, to discuss national development, and to push initiatives working toward the establishment of peace worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis. If that doesn\u2019t work, we could explore the possibility of engaging in discussions with Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis.

Do you compare yourself to others?
If you compare yourself to someone

you will fall into a sense of inferiority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel inferior,
it\u2019s because you are looking at people
in a higher position.

The New Korea Forum is a monthly conference that invites prominent social figures and leaders to address various topics related to peace and unification of the Korean Peninsula, to discuss national development, and to push initiatives working toward the establishment of peace worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis. If that doesn\u2019t work, we could explore the possibility of engaging in discussions with Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you compare yourself to someone

you will fall into a sense of inferiority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

it\u2019s because you are looking at people

Cyclone Mocha, the largest storm in more than a decade, struck Myanmar and parts of Bangladesh in May, leaving a trail of destruction and suffering in its wake, with an estimated death toll of at least 460 people, according to media reports, and hundreds more missing.

The New Korea Forum is a monthly conference that invites prominent social figures and leaders to address various topics related to peace and unification of the Korean Peninsula, to discuss national development, and to push initiatives working toward the establishment of peace worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis. If that doesn\u2019t work, we could explore the possibility of engaging in discussions with Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven.

If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis.

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis. If that doesn\u2019t work, we could explore the possibility of engaging in discussions with Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New Korea Forum is a monthly conference that invites prominent social figures and leaders to address various topics related to peace and unification of the Korean Peninsula, to discuss national development, and to push initiatives working toward the establishment of peace worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis.

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis. If that doesn\u2019t work, we could explore the possibility of engaging in discussions with Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven.

If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis.

The New Korea Forum is a monthly conference that invites prominent social figures and leaders to address various topics related to peace and unification of the Korean Peninsula, to discuss national development, and to push initiatives working toward the establishment of peace worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTensions are escalating on the Korean Peninsula, and the risk of war has reached an alarming level. We need to find a breakthrough,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis. If that doesn\u2019t work, we could explore the possibility of engaging in discussions with Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis.

One of the young leaders attending this learning experience was Venerable Ugyen Choden, who was one among 142 female monastics to receive full ordination at a landmark ceremony in the Kingdom Bhutan in June 2022.*** Organized by the Bhutan Nuns Foundation, this was a historic step toward realizing greater equality within the monastic institutions of Buddhism in the world\u2019s last remaining country with an unbroken Vajrayana tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pomnyun Sunim observed during an informal conversation ahead of his keynote address. \u201cIdeally, persuading the South Korean government to address this crisis would be the best course of action. If that\u2019s not possible, an alternative approach would be to persuade the United States to improve its relations with North Korea as a means to resolve this crisis. If that doesn\u2019t work, we could explore the possibility of engaging in discussions with Japan.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jungto Society, the international Buddhist community founded by the revered Korean Dharma master and social activist Venerable Pomnyun Sunim (\ubc95\ub95c\uc2a4\ub2d8), hosted an intensive eight-day study trip in South Korea in June for young leaders and activists affiliated with the International Network of Engaged Buddhists (INEB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 13\u201320 June, 19 Buddhists from nine countries and territories in Asia\u2014Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam\u2014gathered in a warm and welcoming atmosphere of kalyana-mitrata<\/em>* to practice, to learn, and to connect; to exchange ideas, to inspire, and to be inspired. BDG was privileged to join this unique assembly of monastic and lay practitioners, leaders and activists, to share a Dharmic journey that combined elements of study, experiential workshops, and field trips, with the discipline and commitment of a traditional Buddhist retreat.**<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the young leaders attending this learning experience was Venerable Ugyen Choden, who was one among 142 female monastics to receive full ordination at a landmark ceremony in the Kingdom Bhutan in June 2022.*** Organized by the Bhutan Nuns Foundation, this was a historic step toward realizing greater equality within the monastic institutions of Buddhism in the world\u2019s last remaining country with an unbroken Vajrayana tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you compare yourself to others?
If you compare yourself to someone
who is better than you,
you will fall into a sense of inferiority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you feel inferior,
it\u2019s because you are looking at people
in a higher position.
If you feel superior, it\u2019s because you are looking down
at someone in a lower position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, all beings are
neither superior or inferior to anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a husband and wife have a bad relationship,
it isn\u2019t the result of their destiny or their previous lives.
