An Interview with a Reporter on the Thoughts of Yongsan Buddhism

Speaking about the Dharma realm
of Yongsan Buddhism - new Buddhism
of the universal truth!

Present Buddhism

that does not recognize

the existence of the Buddha,

and the spiritual bodies

as the subject of transmigration

must be changed for the better.

'Hyonjisa' is the mecca

of Buddhism of the true Dharma,

an also is the cradle

of salvation of sentient beings

and that of protection of this nation

and world pace

through Buddhism.

The Holy Land Hyonjisa,

                                  Yongsan Buddhism

is where Sakyamuni Buddha adides all the

time.

  This is a holy place where Nosana Buddha

who is the original Buddha(the Reward Body

Buddha) of Buddha the World-Honoured, and

many Buddhas reside all the time.

Especially,  Great  Monk  Gwangmyong

Manduk(Kasyapa at the time of he assembly of the

Spirit Mountain) and  Great Monk Jajae

Manhyon (Ananda) are praching the true

Dharma at Hyonjisa( 顯智寺) of Yongsan

Buddhism.  This temple does not stand

deep in the mountain: not in downtown of a

deep in the mountain: not in downtown of a

bustling city but in the northern suburbs of

Chuncheon City; north of the 38/th parallel line

forming a boundary with Hwacheon County.

Also, the temple is situated at the upper

region of the Bukhan River (which flows to the

Chuncheon Ddm) where it rests a short while,

having originated in the Diamond Mountain in

North Korea.  Then it flows on and down

again, carrying with it the dream of unification.

  Hyonjisa (顯智寺) has been named by the

Buddha and has the meaning of "a temple in

which  the  wisdom  of  the  Buddha is

completely  revealed."  Yongsan  Buddhis

has the meaning in which many disciples at

the time of  the Buddha and numerous

Buddhists who have followed his teaching

gather again according to cause and

conditions, establish a religious foundation,

restore his teaching at the time of the Spirit

Mountain of Ancient India to its original

shape, and spread it far and wide again.

  We have visited the two Great Monks who

have   reached   the  utmowt   stage   as

practitioners of Buddhism, and listened to his

answers to important questions as to the

Buddhist doctrine that have endlessly been

raised.  We intend to seek the direction that

present Buddhism has to take through the

answers that Yongsan Buddhism gives us.

  Buddhism says hat sentient beins

transmigrate in  the six realms.  If a person

dies, is there indeed such a realm that he

goes to?

▶ It is a very appropriate question.  If one passes

away, it is true that everything does not end.  Our

physical body dies, but our spiritual bodies never

die  through all eternity,  and keep  their lives

turning  around  the  six  realms  such  as  Hell,

hungry  ghosts, animals,  humans, asuras,  and

heavens.  This  is  no  other  than  transmigration

within  the  six  tealms  that  the  Buddha  has

expounded.  The  six  realms of transmigration are

not in  one's  mind, but  they are our reality that

undoubtedly exiss.

  The spiritual bodies that enter the Court for the

Deceased will be judged by the Ten Great Kings

for 49 days, and hen the realm that he will go to

will be decided according to their judgment.

Those who have committed a lot of heavy sin

such as the taking of life will fall down into Hell.

Hell is also divided into the five kinds of hells,

namely   the  extremely  unremitting   hells,  the

unremitting hells, the heavy sinner hells, te ligt

sin hells, and the waiting hells according to the

degree of suffering.  There are also numerous hells

in each kin f hell,  In the hells below the heavy

sinner hells, punishment as severe as the spiritual

bodies  are  feinted  is automatically immposed.

Those who are avaricious or stingy will receive

the retribution of becoming hungry ghosts that

always suffer from hunger.  If a person acts like an

animal, he will receive  the retribution  of an

animal.  Those ho lived a virtuous life will be

born as humans,  or will enjoy happiness in the

three  good destinies of pleasures.  A saint who has

been freed from transmigration, of course, goes to

the realm of liberation in which he can enjoy

permanent bliss.

  Meanwhile, if people die, the absolute majority

of them fall down into the heavy sinner hell.  The

sufferings are so severe that one cannot bear to

see the scene, opening one's eyes.  So I say to you

sincerely, "Please do not commit sin, please never

commit sin, and please never commit sin no

matter what great loss one may suffer.
