 *What am I?*

Colloquium: Center for Korean Studies | *April 11 | 4 p.m. *| Institute of
East Asian Studies (2223 Fulton, 6th
Floor)<http://www.berkeley.edu/map/googlemap/?b2223>
, Conference Room

 Speaker: *Hyon Gak Sunim* <http://cloud-path.tumblr.com/>

Sponsor: Center for Korean Studies (CKS) <http://ieas.berkeley.edu/cks/>

 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.

"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.

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.

*Vision for Korea-U.S. Relations*

Colloquium | April 22 | 12 p.m. | 223 Moses
Hall<http://www.berkeley.edu/map/googlemap/?moses>

Speaker: *Dong-man
Han*<http://usa-sanfrancisco.mofa.go.kr/english/am/usa-sanfrancisco/mission/greetings/index.jsp>,
Consul General, Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in San
Francisco<http://usa-sanfrancisco.mofa.go.kr/english/am/usa-sanfrancisco/mission/greetings/index.jsp>

Sponsors: Center for Korean Studies (CKS)
<http://ieas.berkeley.edu/cks/>, Institute
of International Studies <http://iis.berkeley.edu/>

2013 marked the 60th anniversary of the alliance between South Korea and
the United States. 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.

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.

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 (*Hallyu*).
