Perhaps it was because I was lacking diligence and effort, but I was not able to pass to level 2 in a week. Because I wasn’t guaranteed results, I was filled with the desire to go home. I consulted with the helpers and I listened to their advice. In order to win the fight against the self, I stayed for one more week. I am very thankful for that because I was able to pass level 2.
Before I came, I had severe depression. No matter what I did, I did not have confidence in what I did, and I was alone in the world. I was deeply depressed and had no confidence in my future career.
At first, I came to the this meditation center to simply treat depression, but once I was here I had a good opportunity to look back on myself and confirm what I had done wrong. I had great inferiority and jealousy that were tightly bound together as ‘me.’ But I came to have hope that I can live well. These last two weeks have been a precious time in my life. I am really grateful and happy to have come and experienced this opportunity. I am also grateful to my fellow students who meditated together with me.
