Dennis Wholey interviews Hyon Gak Sunim - Part 2 of 3

[GregoryWonderwheel]

This is a great interview. Though the interviewer seems to want to be a little more basic for the non-Buddhist audience, the Zen teacher is not watering down the teaching. One point of correction, Buddhism did not initially come to China through Tibet, but along the Silk Road from and through the region of modern day Afghanistan-Pakistan when it was known as the great kingdom of Ghandara.

@GregoryWonderwheel He didn't say Buddhism came to China through Tibet. He said it spread over the Himalayas to Tibet and China, generally speaking. He only spoke about a specific line when he said his particular branch spread from China to Korean, and then to Japan and so on.
