<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-repeat:initial initial"><span style="font-size:14pt">In this world, which is torn by
politics, religion, materialism, human beings believe too much that their
thinking and ideas and beliefs are real. They attach to these ideas and
beliefs, and they fight over them -- this only leads suffering. The word for
that is "ignorance". Not only that, but through their intense desire,
anger and ignorance, human beings are exterminating all life on this planet through
a mindless pursuit of material comfort and temporary ease. If human beings do
not soon "wake up," they risk ending life for so many species of
living things, not only themselves.<br>
<br>
"Zen" (meditation) means returning to the fundamental, true Self - which
comes before nationality or religion. An American-born Zen monk and graduate of
Yale and Harvard, Hyon Gak Sunim ordained as a monk in 1992. In his talk, he
will stress that meditation is not based on religion, belief, or dogma. It is
scientifically tested, peer-reviewed and affirmed technology for human beings
to reach their innermost depths and most creative possibilities.<br>
<br>
As we well know, recent scientific studies have proven that meditation frees up
creative forces, unleashes unconscious creativities, and generates
non-sectarian bases for genuine fellow-feeling and modes of compassionate
interaction. The explosive field of neuroplasticity itself proves that when
human beings spend even just a few minutes a day, following their breath and
noticing deeply their thought-patterns, they are subtly freed from entrapping
patterns of thought and feeling. This talk will introduce to the public the
basic teaching of Zen, and its central technology of looking into one's true
nature.<span style="color:rgb(77,89,99)"></span></span></p>

The Korea-U.S. alliance began as a military treaty to defend the South from the communist North, but it has grown to become an unbreakable bond between two countries that share a friendship and set of values.<br>
<br>As of 2014, South Korea leads the mobile communications industry and the Korean economy is 13th in the world in terms of GDP. South Korea also ranked first in Bloomberg's Global Innovation Index. <br><br>Consul General Dong-man Han, will give a presentation to increase understanding of the vision for Korea-U.S. relations. The main theme of his presentation will focus on the Korea-U.S. alliance, though, he will also address present day facts about Korea, inter-Korean relations (including recent political, economic and the military situation on the Korea peninsula), and perhaps more interestingly, discuss the impact around the world of the Korean Wave (<i>Hallyu</i>).</font></p>
