On October 10, 2024, Venerable Jinwoo delivered a lecture at the prestigious Yale University on “The Meditation Journey of a Buddhist Monk.” Around 150 Yale students gathered to attend the lecture.


Introducing himself as “a Buddhist monk in search of a path free of suffering,” Venerable Jinwoo conveyed his earnest wish for everyone to be free from suffering, sharing methods for achieving this.

He explained, “The way to be at peace and free at anytime and anywhere is to not cling to the past every moment.” He advised, “Think, but do not add emotions of like or dislike. Simply let go.”


He concluded by saying that consistent practice, just like dots forming an unbroken line, results in continuous peace. Ven. Jinwoo ended his lecture with a heartfelt wish that everyone lives a daily life without discomfort and suffering, filled with peace.
