Umbrella Sharing with the World Dr. Nahyun Kim

Young men and women under a small pink umbrella,
When two people support each other, it becomes an umbrella where love can blossom.

The love and mercy we give to our neighbors
Form an umbrella of sharing that merge with the world.

The sound of laughter blooming under one roof,
A beautiful love umbrella of a happy family.


Navigating Life's Illusions Dr. Nahyun Kim

In life's transient flow, illusions sway,
A dreamy dance where truths betray.
From birth to death, a fleeting glance,
Like whispers of wind, in life's advance.

Nothing's as it seems, all but a dream,
In the sky of existence, dust may gleam.
Yet beneath the surface, a depth profound,
In impermanence's grasp, we're bound.

Swiftly vanishing, life's essence,
A fleeting reality, where moments meet.
Amidst this ephemerality, awareness gleams,
But worldly desires cloud its streams.

Truth seekers, amidst life's grand scheme,
Navigate illusions, like a flowing stream.
In the teachings of the 'Diamond Sutra' deep,
Clarity sought, in illusions' keep.
