Jungto Society, a South Korea-based Buddhist humanitarian organization founded by the renowned Seon (Zen) master and social activist Venerable Pomnyun Sunim, has carved a new avenue for spreading Buddhist compassion among vulnerable communities in Korea this winter, thanks to the good will of a generous couple who, inspired by Ven. Pomnyun Sunim’s teachings on organic agriculture and sustainable living, have found a second career as farmers.
Gong Hee-jeong and Jo Jun-ho, from the city of Jecheon in North Chungcheong Province, made the transition to a more self-sufficient lifestyle in 2020, just as the COVID-19 pandemic began spreading around the world. Their trial harvest last year netted them some two tonnes of sweet potatoes, which they donated to Jungto Society in recognition of the inspiration they received from Ven. Pomnyun Sunim.

The Buddhist humanitarian relief organization Join Together Society Korea (JTS Korea), founded by the renowned Korean Seon (Zen) monk Venerable Pomnyun Sunim, is spreading the warmth of compassion through a US$10,000 project to distribute coal briquettes to vulnerable households across South Korea as the country settles into another cold winter season, when temperatures can sometimes drop as low as –20ºC.
As recently as 30 years ago, lignite coal briquettes were the main fuel for heating and cooking in Korean households, and are still relied upon by some impoverished communities. Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, donations of briquettes for underprivileged families nationwide have dropped to a third of levels recorded a year earlier.
