The venerable Wonje is a monk of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism. He majored in religion at Sogang University. He renounced the world and entered Haeinsa Temple in search of truth in 2006. He became a Buddhist monk as a disciple of Monk Beopjeon. However, practicing Buddhism in the Zen center was not easy. For a more extensive experience, he began to travel the world, visiting forty-five countries on five continents over a period of two years, starting from Mount Kailash in Tibet in September 2012. After countless struggles, it became much easier for him to practice Buddhism. He has written—on his blog and on Facebook—about the experiences he had on his world trip and the truth he experienced by practicing Buddhism. He is currently devoting himself to the practice of Buddhism at the small Sudoam Temple in Gimcheon.
