Following a formal Korean temple breakfast at Dubuk, the volunteers quickly loaded a truck with the rice, watermelon, tomatoes, and melons to be donated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first stop for the Jungto team was Aegwangwon, a residential center for mentally handicapped people on Geoje Island, near the southern city of Busan. Aegwangwon\u2019s 98-year-old founder and director Kim Im-soon came out to greet Ven. Pomnyun Sunim as he arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe day after tomorrow is the Buddha\u2019s birthday, so I\u2019ve brought rice and fruits for the residents,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim said. \u201cWe have brought 10 bags of rice, 20 watermelons, 20 boxes of tomatoes, and 10 boxes of melons.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Originally founded as a refuge for orphaned babies during the Korean War, Aegwangwon is now a home for the differently abled. Although the center is run by a Christian organization, Ven. Pomnyun Sunim has maintained a working relationship with the center since 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After greetings were exchanged, the team quickly set about unloading the produce from the truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAegwangwon\u2019s 98-year-old founder, Kim Im-soon, greets Ven. Pomnyun Sunim.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nUnloading donations for Aegwangwon.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The next stop on the itinerary was Cham Jo Eun Kindergarten in Jinhae. The Buddhist nun who runs the kindergarten had recently contacted Ven. Pomnyun Sunim to say that she would like to offer a donation after being deeply impressed by Sunim\u2019s online Dharma talks. The Jungto team took the opportunity to pay a visit while driving to the city of Busan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am farming these days. So I\u2019ve brought some of our farmed rice to share with you. I\u2019ve also brought some fruit to serve on Buddha\u2019s birthday,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim told the well-wishers at the kindergarten.<\/p>\n\n\n\nArriving at Cham Jo Eun Kindergarten in Jinhae. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSharing greetings and good wishes. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Pomnyun Sunim\u2019s own teacher.

\u201cOn the Buddha\u2019s birthday, I hope we can help those in need,\u201d Ven. Pomnyun Sunim announced to Jungto Society volunteers at the Jungto retreat center in the village of Dubuk, near the southern city and former ancient capital of Gyeongju. \u201cSo today we will provide offerings of watermelons, tomatoes, and melons, which have been donated by our Dharma teacher HyangJon, as well as the rice we have farmed here in Dubuk. I would like to support Aegwangwon, a facility for the mentally disabled, a nursing home for the elderly, and also support the elderly living in the village around the training center through the Senior Citizens Center. Yesterday, we also made a donation to the local temple here in Gyeongju.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nTraditional temple breakfast offering<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
