A recent video post by some prominent Dharma Teacher in Korean Buddhism about my much-hyped statements criticising the natural corruptions of Korean Buddhism in 2016.

It seems that the reverberations from that quick, unrefined commentary still pulsate through the bowels of the tradition, as evidenced by this talk released in the third week of October 2020, some 4 years later, through the YouTube channel of one of Korean Buddhism’s most significant temples:
