"What made this path right for you?" Never seek any path based on personal preference. Seek a path to the universal truth that applies equally to everyone.

lovely. having loved practicing with Sae Soen Sunim long ago, when we could, and feeling the strong, fierce, humane, loving and always compassionately funny teachings and presence he always offered, it was a joy to hear from his dharma descendent Dae Kwang Sunim and know the deep understanding and flavour of his teacher's dharma is alive in such a gentle person and presence. What he said is the dharma he received and it was just so good to know it is still wholly being offered to the world. It's challenging, yes; but not so difficult if one's practice is steady over the years. let me end, then, by urging people to practice in person with others as much as you can. it is different from online, though that has some uses, as we've all discovered. When we do, the layers the interviewer spoke about tend to peel themselves away in a different manner because other people are actually, not virtually, there. thank you for posting this.

스님 감사합니다. 스님 얼굴엔 평. 화. 라고 씌어 있는거 같아요. 평온의 큰빛스님.

"All that talk doesnt make any difference. You have to look inside and find the truth for yourself" No Sangha has ever been run this way...because every monk would find a different truth and it would be chaos. Studying the Suttas and Sutras is what binds the Sangha together and keeps its anchor in the Dharma. BOTH meditation AND study are necessary.

Thank you for the talk. I agree with the online vs in-person practice: as a person who was online for almost a year, being in-person is a more saturated experience imho. Although, online was very good when I had no other practice :)

Most people don't go deep, so they take the outward appearance of religion and think its different, I come from a Muslim background, and most Sufi writings say you should verify for yourself and not believe of follow blindly. Whatever you read should be a confirmation of your experience. But its just a way or style to realize who you are. For me Islam is just a facette or development or evolution or interpretation of Zen, and Zen is just an explanation or evolution or further development of Islam. If you go deep you can find they use often similar if not the exact same words, to point to the same experience, like the face, original face, Being, Reality, One, as it is, Presence, seeing, waking up, realizing, verifying, knowing oneself, unveiling, revealing, revelation, no thought, before thought, closer to you than yourself, etc..

Thank you and very enlightening but from what I can see many modern Sufis are still non dual ? And Allah is still worshipped in second person as a "holy other"?

@@swayp5715 "If you look at an object and realize it's inherent inexistence by itself or its dependency to a prior cause, by being mindful of this while looking at it you will then witness reality from it's timeless source" Who wrote this was it a Zen monk or a Muslim scholar ? The person who said this is called the Greatest Teacher in Islam, but could it have been a Zen master ? Ofcourse. What is the difference? No difference. The difference is created by thought and labeling 😂
