Is it possible to be a warrior for peace? This is the question Rev. WonGong explores in this compelling and pertinent dharma talk. Through her insight, we learn that wholeheartedly cultivating equanimity and wisdom prepares us to help bring peace to the world and ourselves with calmness, fortitude, and agility.

Dharma Talk by Rev. Yoon Kim (March 20, 2022)

Note from Rev. Yoon: It was my one of my first time having English talk in front of so many people, so I blanked out and put out the wrong information. As far as I remember, Buddha was born in Nepal. Sorry for the confusion.

The path to Buddhahood may seem far-off, but in this  hopeful and clear-sighted dharma talk, Rev. ZiYoung of the North Carolina Temple removes the mystery and shows us how we already are walking along that path. When guided by our beginner's mind and our pure heart, we find ourselves in the good company of all Buddhas journeying together.

Dharma Talk by Rev. Jieun Lee (March/13/2022) @Won Dharma Center

With emotion and deep wisdom, Rev. WonGong reminds us that we all have the seeds of compassion and Buddhahood within us. She describes how "Buddha" and "Bodhisattva" are synonyms and their application melt away the three poisons of greed, anger, and delusion. All of this can be realized by letting our own little lights shine, no matter how small each little flame may appear to be.

In this unique dharma talk, Won Buddhist practitioner, Pete Warshaw (Won Jee Ho) of the North Carolina Temple, weaves together photography and poetry to reveal how our minds create the universes we inhabit. While our mind can create limitations and obstacles that hinder us, our mind also can be a co-creator of beauty and insight that helps us unfold our buddha nature.

With clarity and care, Won Buddhist practitioner Daniel Mattingly explores the meaning of wholehearted practice in this dharma talk and shows us how to make the seemingly impossible possible. He points out that while we do not have to believe we can achieve supreme enlightenment to make progress on our spiritual path, aspiring to perfect buddhahood will make a huge difference and help us to achieve much greater success.

With openness and reflection, Rev. WonGong shares one of Won Buddhism’s key insights: Our spiritual paths spring from and journey towards a single source. No matter where we begin or what traditions we explore, every tradition can help light our path towards peace, wellbeing, and liberation.
