Guangdong University of Finance Q&A Session Khenpo Sodargye answers questions on wisdom, compassion, self-attachment, karma, and how to find inner peace in modern society at Guangdong University of Finance.
Einstein said time is an illusion. Buddha said it 2,500 years earlier. But if "time is just an illusion and 'I' doesn't even exist"—why did a monk who had been ordained for decades cry and return home after his father's death, never to go back to the monastery? In this 2013 Q&A session following Khenpo Sodargye's lecture "Wisdom in Life, Harmony in Society" at Guangdong University of Finance, Chinese students posed soul-searching questions: How do we eliminate ego-clinging? How do we escape the anxiety of time? Why does fighting our afflictions make them worse? If good people suffer while evil people prosper, has karma gone bankrupt? Is a business pursuing profit simply greed? Does extensive learning guarantee wisdom? Khenpo responds with Buddhist wisdom, revealing the unsettling truths behind these existential questions that tear at the modern soul.
