Ven. Pomnyun's Answer to " How Can I Have Goals in Life without Getting Attached?” Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at Jogyesa Temple, Seoul (June 14, 2019)

question : My question is about non-attachment and goals in life. I have noticed that having goals in relationship or career can bring a lot of stress. For example, when I was applying to do my exchange in Korea, I was worried something might go wrong with my application and I had a lot of stress. And I learned that not being attached to things could bring happiness and less stress but I still think I still have to have some goals that I want to achieve in my life. So how would it be possible to combine these two things in my everyday life?
