🔹Ven Pomnyun’s Dharma Q&A

2024. 8. 6

🔹Question: Thank you, Sunim, for allowing me this opportunity to ask my question. I’ve been on this journey to discover my purpose and the meaning of my life for a while now. I’ve been getting into multiple discussions, reading a lot, and hearing a lot on this subject. Lately, I’ve been asking, “Does everyone have a purpose? Do I have a purpose? Was I born with a purpose?” And I saw a number of your videoswhich helped me make sense of it and understand that whether we have a purpose or not, It’s up to every individual and not an objective reality. It’s a subjective belief. I don’t know if that’s what you said, but that’s what I understood from those videos. So, my question today is to ask you about your personal purpose. Do you believe that you have a purpose? If so, do you believe that it was something that was given to you that came to you pre-defined, conceived bynature, by God? Or is that something that you have found along the way? How did you find your personal purpose if you do believe in having one. And given that we are in a Dharma talk, one of the meanings of the Dharma is one’s purpose aswell. So, I’m just curious to know your subjective belief and perspective given all the experiences that you have had so far.
