May you be happy! May you be free from suffering! May you be at ease!
My name is Kusa. I am a student in the Maitreya Buddhist Seminary with the Buddhist Society for Compassionate Wisdom (founded by Ven. Samu Sunim). As part of the program, we are encouraged to study various aspects of Buddhism, including the Buddha’s life, Buddhist iconography, the history of Zen Buddhism in general, and the history of Korean Buddhism in particular (as well as other topics).
In the spirit of approaching the Dharma with open heart, open mind, and open hands, I am starting this blog as a way to share my practice and research to a wider audience. Your feedback on the posts, whether personal or academic in nature, is greatly appreciated.
We move through this world bounded by our surroundings, our culture, our habit energies, and so much more. Yet the Dharma encourages us to live with boundless heart and mind. The title of this blog – With(out) Bounds – reflects this subtle dance between boundedness and boundlessness. It also reflects the general spirit in which I approach the Dharma: as an imperfect human being vowing to cultivate the Buddha Way in body, speech, and mind.
Thank you for reading!
