🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A
Selection from a Dharma Q & A at Harvard University Sep.
I am a third year undergraduate. This is my first year back after serving two years in the Korean military. I thought, after two years hiatus, I'd be older and wiser. I was in a situation where I didn't have any phone, I didn't have any alcohol. I was surrounded by a bunch of guys all the time. So at night, I
would always dream of coming back to school How amazing it would be. I was always unhappy because I had all these desires and yearnings not only about academia but about all the other freedom I would have outside. Now that I am
here, I get way too many emails, I have way too many assignments, I am always too stressed. It is the classic problem of grass is greener on the other side. I am really trying hard every day to think it is still better than being in the
army. It is still better than unclogging toilets and doing the dishes every day. But I feel like I am still swayed so much by this eternal struggle of finding happiness from where I am. So I was wondering if maybe I am doing something wrong, I am trying to brainwash myself thinking this is good this is
better than what I had before or if there is another way to do it.
