Monk Hye-min, who had been on hiatus due to the so-called ‘full ownership’ controversy, has returned to broadcasting after about 3 years and 4 months, and the advice he gave to someone who said, “It’s hard to live in this world these days” is drawing attention.
On the 29th, a video titled ‘I don’t criticize others and I don’t criticize myself’ was uploaded to BTN Buddhist TV’s ‘Hye-min’s Cafe, Where the Mind Rests’.
On this day, one person confided, “I feel like I was born into the wrong world. In the past, it was possible to start in a single room and expand the room one by one, and the possibility of employment was incomparably higher than it is now, but life is so hard these days.”
He continued, “Finding a good job seems like trying to reach for the stars, and politicians only fight every day for their own interests, and it seems like they can’t provide any groundbreaking help to the common people.” He lamented, “If I had been born 30 years earlier, I would have been able to fully utilize my abilities, buy a house, make successful investments, and live a proud life. But since I spent my youth in difficult times, every day feels unfair and depressing.”
He said, “I hate myself for thinking like this and I hate the world. I am also considering immigrating to a rapidly growing country. I would like to ask for your advice as I am about to make a big decision.”
To this, Hye-min said, “The world is so difficult and hard these days, so it seems like people think it’s unfortunate to have been born in this era. It’s really unfortunate.” He continued, “Today, I’d like to talk about how we can live happily without blaming the world or ourselves, based on the Buddha’s teachings.”
Monk Hye-min said, “The cause of our unhappiness is not the ‘world’ but our discrimination.” He explained, “The world is not originally good or bad. If it is good according to my discrimination, it looks good, and if it is bad, it looks bad.”
Hye-min also said, “I was surprised when I went to study in the United States. Westerners saw the full moon in a very negative light. In our country, it is seen as a sign of abundance and positivity. The full moon is neither positive nor negative,” emphasizing once again that it is seen differently depending on each person’s discernment.
At the same time, he said, “Compared to previous generations, the current generation may have fewer opportunities in some ways. The gap between the rich and the poor may make life difficult in this day and age,” and gave an example, saying, “I saw on TV a while ago that Southeast Asians come to our country and do difficult, dangerous, and dirty work while earning much higher wages than in their own countries. When I see this, I think our country is a good country for them.”
Finally, Monk Hye-min advised, “There is no such thing as a good world or a bad world from the beginning. You just have to stop discriminating.”
However, netizens’ reactions are still cold. They mentioned again the fact that Hye-min is a Korean-American and the controversy over the ownership of a house, and left comments such as, “You should give up your obsession and ownership first,” “Are you still wearing a monk’s robe?”, “If you have a conscience, don’t come out on TV,” “No matter what you say, I don’t trust you,” and “These days, New Jins seems more like a monk.”
Previously, Hye-min Seunim appeared on the tvN entertainment program ‘On and Off’ in November 2020 and revealed a house in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, which was known to have been purchased for 800 million won in 2015, sparking a ‘full ownership controversy’. Afterwards, he suspended his activities as controversies related to his assets, such as suspicions of overseas real estate ownership and startup profit activities, continued to arise.
