“I take refuge in the sangha”
This weekend, I did
My Dharma Brother Joseph, “Gil Do”, and his kind and caring wife, Eunbong,
Their wisely-countenanced and
Jolly Daughter, Fina
My patient and erudite teacher and friend, Chong Go Sunim
And my Dharma Brother Marcus, “Seokjong” with his gift of mindfulness
All in kind and compassionate listening, counseling, sharing and generosity
Brought me to this place
So…
To all I say,
Come to the temples
Be you Buddhist, Christian, Muslim, Agnostic, or Atheist
There is serenity and the tone of peace here
Emanating,
Resonating,
Penetrating and cleansing
A Holy Spirit, a Buddha Nature, a Juingong
And you find it in yourself
And it takes you home
To freedom
Thank you,
Brothers and Sisters of the Sangha
This is Yongju Sa, in Suwon…
Where the monk said:
“Katchi Sungbulhaseyo”
Let us become enlightened ones,
Together
How beautiful
How necessary

カールは、ジェミニ宇宙計画の時代の真ん中にブルックリンで生まれました!彼は3歳で最初の月面着陸を見た。彼はロングアイランドで育ちました。彼は韓国で育ち始め、合計15年間そこに滞在しました。彼はエンパイア州立大学を経由してコミュニティカレッジ、美術大学、学業に行きました。彼はモハベ砂漠の尖塔に登り、マイケル・ダグラスが電話を見つけるのを手伝い、ダライ・ラマのコーヒーを注いだ。彼は韓国で命を救い、今東京でそうしようとしています。彼は書き、描き、写真を撮り、人々を笑わせ、考えさせます。

Carl was born in Brooklyn in the middle of the Gemini Space Program era! He saw the first moon landing at 3 years old. He was raised on Long Island. He started growing up in South Korea and stayed there a total of 15 years. He went to community college, art college and studies via Empire State college. He has climbed pinnacles in the Mojave Desert, helped Michael Douglas find a phone and poured the Dalai Lama's coffee. He has saved lives in South Korea and is attempting that now, in Tokyo. He writes, draws, photographs and makes people laugh and think.

Carl,
In my experience, when one person clarifies his or her life direction, all beings immediately benefit.
So I’m deeply grateful that you would join with Chong Go Sunim, Joseph, Marcus and others to benefit all beings.
Thank you,
Barry

Barry,
Thank you for taking it personally. When I was younger, I had wanted to be a political illustrator, to ‘wake people up’ to injustice. But there are warmer ways to wake people up, and one of them is in waking ourselves, first. But sometimes we need a little help.
Your appreciation of what I have ‘done’, both takes me by surprise and doesn’t, since souls like yours are of the Sangha; I do not know you personally, but I have come to know I can ‘expect’ this kindness.
I was a bit taken by surprise because I did nothing but complain of late, and wear my problems on my sleeve, as it were, yet my friends held me in their arms, so to speak, listening, helping, and healing me. Here, I am just recognizing it.
Thank YOU, again, Barry.
Peace, Love, and Joy,
Carl
Evelyn and Roy,

Hey Carl,
