🔹Question: You began your talk very well with talking about the difference between an atheist and a believer. At least in that case. They agree on the topic of whether or not there is a God.

🔹Question: I've just recently returned from Japan after conducting research for a year. And my question is this. Is there anything we can take from Buddhist teachings to helpKoreans understand Korea-Japan relations? What is the way for it given the emotional suffering that our country has endured in the past? And whether there is a way that we can overcome those feelings of anger and anguish for moreproductive diplomatic relations?

I have a bit of a controversial belief that you can't truly understand someone because if you did, you would agree with them.

Do you agree with that, or do you have thoughts on that?
