Amid constant activity and responsibility, with an aging body carrying all those mobility-surgeries these last years, Sunim had drifted further from the steady daily practice that once grounded him, and he has now reached <strong>far beyond the limit of anyone sane's capacity<\/strong>. While trying to be a true monk-practitioner himself (and never always getting that right), yet perhaps it was the result of for nearly eighteen years with no monastic support and protection in Germany, he <strong>carried the development and financial care <\/strong>of our growing Community day and night, even sometimes raised his voice at us whenever we'd too easily checked out on some moment in that accumulted stress in him, all year round, striving alone so that we could have these two places of Silence and simple presence together, among birds and orchards and horses: on <strong>this Bavarian Zen working-farm eco-oasis<\/strong>? <\/p>\n   <p style=\"margin:0 auto 20px auto;\n    font-size:16px;\n    line-height:1.78;\">\n<strong>For over a decade<\/strong> he <strong>pushed himself <\/strong> -- and, consequently, <strong>a few devoted students<\/strong> along with him <strong>-- way way too hard<\/strong>, to realize a rural temple-space for us <strong>that will LONG outlast him.<\/strong> Now Sunim recognizes that it is time to turn toward the inner work he long has set aside in all of the busyness, activation, and ultimately long-running disorientation. Sunim is <strong>tired of all the self-importance which grew up around him<\/strong> and the interest in his new projects and expressions of the Dharma. He has long wished to be freed for some long period from the algorithms and their pull.\n  <\/p>\n\n  \n  <p style=\"margin:0 auto 20px auto;\n    font-size:16px;\n    line-height:1.78;\">\n <i><strong> \u201cDo not let your own good decline for the sake of another\u2019s, however great.

As he shared with his Patreon community in July, Sunim is <strong>letting go of all public teaching and social media<\/strong>. He is returning to the simplicity of silence, turning the light inward <strong>to meet his own unresolved karmic patterns<\/strong> with courage, honesty, and compassion, as all of us are called to do. Our public channels on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube are offline for now, to honor his wish for as much silence and disentanglement as possible.\n  <\/p>\n\n    <p style=\"margin:0 auto 20px auto;\n    font-size:16px;\n    line-height:1.78;\">\nSunim sometimes says: <strong><i>\u201cThe biggest mistake for a spiritual teacher is becoming \u2018famous.\u2019 That permits all sort of delusions to fester. The second is even worse: believing you can carry that and still live as an authentic monk outside the monastery.\u201d<\/i> <\/strong> With his years of residency in Regensburg now closed, and a chapter of experimentation and exploration long finished there, much of his work teaching \u201cout in the world\u201d is done.

countryside, its flowers and berries treasured for generations. This evening, we\u2019ll share offerings of fresh elderberry juice, harvested and pressed this summer on our property at Atem-Hausen by Boep Hwa and Hyon Gak Sunim: a very special gift!\n  <\/p>\n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;\n    font-size:16px;\n    line-height:1.8;\">\n    Led by <strong>Boep Hwa<\/strong>, together we\u2019ll explore the elderberry and its traditional uses, and then come together in meditation. Through a mindful full-moon ritual on this glorious farm teeming with life, we\u2019ll make space for gratitude, for letting go, and for finding a new orientation.\nAll interested women are warmly invited to join us for this special evening.\n<strong>Please feel free to share this invitation with any women who might be interested.<\/strong>\n  <\/p>\n\n \n  <table role=\"presentation\"

<strong>it may become impossible to keep the city center open.<\/strong>\n    This is a real challenge, but also an opportunity\n    for us to come together and take responsibility\n    for the future

The Student and the Monk did not exchange words or greeting -- the monk was holding his silence-practice with extreme intensity. He may have seemed cold or rude. The temple was Shin Won Sah Temple, on Kyeryeong Sahn Mountain, where Hyon Gak Sunim was completing one of his 6 Kyol Ches at the start of monk's life. There were no words or names.\n  <\/p>\n  \n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;\n    font-size:16px;\n    line-height:1.8;\">\nAnd the Student -- then, a believing Catholic -- came to know of this Monk when she found his bestselling-autobiography on a bookshelf several years later. The book caused her to look more deeply into the Dharma, and eventually to become a practicing Buddhist. She received the Dharma name Yon Dung (\"Lotus lantern\").\nWith profound gratitude, we bow to Hae Woon Gosanim and Yon Deung Bosalnim, whose extraordinary generosity is helping to build Jeong Hye Sah as a place for sincere practice.\n\n  <\/p>\n  \n  <p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;\n    font-size:16px;\n    line-height:1.8;\">\nTheir offering comes with a beautiful wish: That Jeong Hye Sah should not exist only for us, or only for this moment, but continue through generations \u2014 so that people we will never meet may one day come here, practice, encounter the Buddha\u2019s teachings, and carry the Dharma forward in their own lives.\n  <\/p>\n\n    <p style=\"margin:0 0 20px;\n    font-size:16px;\n    line-height:1.8;\">\nThis is the deeper meaning of Dana or the Paramita of Generosity. We receive something precious, we care for it, and we pass it on. The gift does not end with the giver or \"recipients\".
