In memory of

I want to dedicate this website, prajnaparamita.org, in memory of my mother, grandmother, and grandfather, who sacrificed so much for me to have this life in which today I have a chance to meet the Buddha's teachings.

I have not done a single thing for them to show my gratitude, which I feel very guilty about. From somewhere in the past, I heard that performing the work of spreading the Buddha's teaching has the greatest merits that benefit one's loved ones in the three worlds—the past, the future, and the present.

I want to use prajnaparamita.org as my own internet Buddhist study room and spread the teachings of the Buddha at the same time.

I pray my loved ones (in the past, in the present, and in the future) are always under the compassionate guidance of the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, and that they all achieve enlightenment!

박 순이 (Park Soon-Yi), my mother. She was born on March 15, 1940, in Dodun-ri, Seomyeon, Seocheon-gun, Chungcheongnam-do (충청남도 서천군 서면 도둔리), and passed away on July 20, 1968, in Seoul.

My grandmother, 설 송례, was born December 7, 1920, and passed away January 9, 1988.

My grandfather, 임 수돈, was born September 19, 1910, and passed away September 5, 2001.

I also dedicate this website to my father, 임 관헌. Without him and my mother, 박 순이, I would never have come to this world and been introduced to Buddhism. Thank you.  I wish him the best in accomplishing whatever he seeks throughout his life.
