\u201cSunim\u2019s answers to questions are unexpected but very clear to me. His teaching lightens my life.\u201d \u2013 Chetan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI reflect on myself every day as I perform the daily practice exercises. I feel lighthearted, relaxed, and peaceful. I would like to thank Sunim and the Jungto volunteers.\u201d - Ruha<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love Sunim\u2019s scientific mind and his teaching on seeing things as they are.\u201d - Robert<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have seen Gordon change positively since he started Dharma School. I am looking forward to joining the Dharma School this fall.\u201d - Shiao<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the sharing, we had Korean food for lunch. Everyone was very hungry and were happy to partake in eating the food. We all made sure to only take what we could consume and clean our plates. Everyone pitched in to wash the dishes, put them away, and clean the kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

After completing all the tasks, we recited the Myeongshimmun three times: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything has its place! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything has its place! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything has its place!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the hard work, everyone was very happy to see one another in person and to meet some of the other local Jungto practitioners. On top of that, we enjoyed the beautiful Seattle Jungto Retreat Center and learned the history of the Center. We would love to see everyone again the next time we visit the Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

We hope that all the students continue to practice the Dharma and become free and happy practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were so grateful to Chetan as he also brought a cake with the words \u201cHappy Practitioner\u201d written on top. What an outstanding idea! We all shouted \u201cI\u2019m a happy practitioner\u201d and recited the following to express our gratitude:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI eat this meal with gratitude, thinking of all the people who made it possible for me to have this food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I take refuge in the Buddha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While having tea and cake, we shared how we felt while working in the garden and about our experiences in Dharma School. The following is some of what the students shared:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love to come to the Jungto Retreat Center for gardening work. It relaxes me. I am so glad to learn the Dharma from Sunim. I learned something that I never knew before: all my suffering comes from inside of myself, not from others.\u201d  \u2013 Christopher<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped working in the garden at 11:30AM and sat down for Indian Chai tea, which had been prepared by Chetan, a Dharma School student, and Sunmi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
