Thank you. I run a sangha which has a number of beginners to the Practice. Your very clear explanation of Buddhism is going to be of much value.

제가 30여년전 수유여중을 다녔는데 학교 바로 옆에 화계사라는 절이 있었어요.
늘 외국인 스님들이 삼삼오오 모여 다니셨고 아이스크림도 드시면서 걸어가는 모습을 보면서 신기하고 한국에 불교를 배우러 오셨다는것에 무척 흥미로웠습니다.
대봉스님이 그분들중 한분이었겠죠. 무량스님도 마찬가지고요.
저도 나이가 들어서 숭산스님의 책을 읽고 현각스님의 책을 통해 깨달음(?)을 얻었습니다.
좋은 말씀 잘 들었습니다.
대봉선사님 늘 건강하세요.^^
