I am a patent lawyer practicing in Seoul, Korea. I graduated from Engineering School at Seoul National University and studied intellectual property law at Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, New Hampshire. In addition, I have practiced zen meditation at several Buddhist temples in South Korea more than 20 years. I studied Buddhism philosophy at Dongguk University in Seoul for 3 years and received a master degree on the Consciousness-Only Theory.
The Consciousness-Only Theory of Buddhism explains about six consciousnesses. The first five consciousnesses are sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch feeling. The five consciousnesses are recognized when the five physical organs (eye, ear, nose, tongue, and body (skin)) contact the respective objects (light (color), sound, scent, flavor, and tactile objects). The Theory explains that the sixth consciousness is recognized when the mind organ contacts a mind information (a seed of mind). Also, when the mind organ contacts a mind information, a mental activity (or a mental phenomenon) arises. The mind information encompasses all knowledge obtained through learning and experience as well as all consciousnesses arising from the six organs, and all feelings and emotions arising from the sixth consciousness. In addition to the six consciousnesses, the Theory explains about a seventh consciousness (Manas). The mind organ contacts and reads mind informations ceaselessly. Finally, the Theory explains about an eighth consciousness (Alaya). The Theory explains that all mind information is stored in the Alaya.
After a tour in combat duty followed by an emotional homecoming that forced him back into the South Pacific, a Marine staff sergeant found himself caught for five days and five nights in Vietnam just before the fall of Saigon. The United States was finally healing from the tragedy of the previous ten years and had to stay on that course at all costs.
