After nearly two hours of discussion, Sunim returned to the Washington Jungto Center at 10 PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Tomorrow morning, Sunim will have a discussion with Professor Park Jin-young at American University on the topic of \"Violence, Nonviolence, and Social Justice.\" In the afternoon, he will meet with the chairperson of the Foreign Affairs Committee's Asia-Pacific Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives, and later meet with Dr. Jenkins from the Washington Times. Then, in the evening, in Washington D.C., he will hold a Dharma Q&A with English interpretation for an English-speaking audience. <\/p>\n","post_title":"I end up bringing the stress from work home with me","post_excerpt":"May 5, 2024 - North America East Coast Dharma Q&A Tour (7) Virginia","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"pomnyun_240505","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-02 20:40:53","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-03 01:40:53","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.jungtosociety.org\/?p=18967","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"jnews_block_37"};

The questions continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
- I've moved to a new job, but how can I work passionately again?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Is it morally reprehensible to marry against my parents' wishes? How can I overcome feeling abandoned by them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- I graduated from a college in the U.S. and got a job, but I don't feel truly integrated into American society. What attitude should I have to assimilate into the mainstream?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Venerable Pomnyun Sunim, I am curious about how you established the Jungto Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- I am studying gerontology; which area of gerontology should I focus on in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Is there such a thing as fate? How can I always be happy like you, Sunim?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- My four-year-old son only speaks English and prefers to be close to my American in-laws, which makes me feel left out. How can I improve our relationship?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Now that my life in the U.S. is stable, I want to return to Korea and start a new life. Is it okay to go back to Korea alone, leaving my family in the U.S.?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- The strife between neighbors, like the war between Palestine and Israel, affects my happiness. How can we create conditions for everyone to be happy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Two hours had passed. The Dharma Q&A ended with a round of applause, and Venerable Pomnyun Sunim immediately began signing books on stage, making eye contact and exchanging greetings with each person. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One person said to Sunim, \"I was at a point where I wanted to die, but your teachings saved my life. Thank you.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
After the Dharma Q&A, Sunim took a commemorative photo with the volunteers and left the venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
As the sun set, at 7 PM, Sunim had a private meeting. Tomorrow, Sunim will be meeting with some members of the U.S. Congress to discuss reducing tensions on the Korean peninsula, and over dinner tonight, he sought advice from someone knowledgeable about the U.S. Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
