There is reason why he is considered most influential monk of modern Korean Buddhism, and most effective. (And most dangerous, to political Korean monks.) Straight talk. Not being shy of controversy, if it pointing to truth. Great compassion mind. Deep committed. We so sad he left Korean Buddhism to the West.
I am watching this talk repeatedly. It is really refreshing. Over a period of time, I tried to make myself aware that there is no past and no future. It is always now. If we weren’t able to remember things and if there wasn’t a certain periodicity within the events of life, like night is followed by day and vice versa, I am not sure we could define what time is. So, time is a construct of mind. When we are fully present at the place where we currently are, let‘s say the kitchen in the 1st floor of our house, the living room in the 2nd floor does not exist unless there is interaction with us, for example through our senses or our memories. However, through our ability to remember things and to move through space and time we can bring the living room in the 2nd floor back in to appearance. I am not quite sure, if that is correct, but for me it makes life much more fascinating.
not study.. study is intellectual approach and only bring more suffering. This monk is sitting in silent with great intensity and without interruption.
“We are all hallucinating all the time. And when we agree on that hallucination, we call that reality.” Brilliant

신선함. 새로움. 독창적임. 낡은 규칙을 깨부수는. 위험함. 현각!
The "NOTE FROM TED" above is RIDICULOUS. Sigh, This World!!

Truly enlightening.
