M.Y.

I want to be able to extend that kindness to others.

I realized how lacking my manners were and how I had been deficient in gratitude and honesty. Through daily tasks and activities, I came to appreciate the importance of good habits. With the strict but loving guidance of the junior monks, I slowly began to pay more attention to my conduct, and strangely, I feel that my sincerity also started to grow. Even after returning to society, I’ve been trying to respond to situations while stepping back and looking at myself objectively. I feel that I’m handling things more carefully than before. However, I also recognize that there are still many areas where my training and effort are insufficient. If possible, I hope to regularly participate in Temple Stay so that I can continue to move in a better direction.

During my stay, I learned so much, and I truly appreciate it. Having experienced everyone’s kindness, I want to be able to extend that kindness to others.

Thank you so much.
