-Education Director of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism
-Research Professor at the Buddhist Studies Institute of Dongguk University
-Winner of the 3rd Wonhyo Academic Award (graduate student category)

Moon-kwang Sunim studied and opened a new field of study called ""Tanheo Studies,"" by researching the life and philosophy of Tanheo (1913~1983), who mastered not only Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, but also the major scriptures of each. He obtained his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Chinese literature at Yonsei University, and his Master's degree in Buddhist Studies and Philosophy at Dongguk University. He then earned his doctorate from the Graduate School of Korean Studies at the Academy of Korean Studies.
Moon-kwang Sunim inherited the teachings of Buddhism from Tong-gwang Sunim and continuing the tradition of Gyeong-heo, Ha-nam,Tanheo, Tong-gwang. He is also a leading Buddhist scholar and Korean studies researcher. He was born in Yeongcheon, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and began studying classical Chinese at a young age under his father, who was a member of the Yulgok school of Neo-Confucianism. This early exposure to classical texts allowed him to easily comprehend the major scriptures of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism at a young age.
Moon-kwang Sunim's research on Tanheo's philosophy led to his doctoral dissertation and subsequent publication of several books, including ""Tanheo's Philosophy of Society and Religion,"" ""Tanheo Studies,"" and ""Lectures on Tanheo's Philosophy.""
Tanheo Sunim himself faced many challenges throughout his life, leading the temples of Woljeongsa and Sangwonsa in the mountains of Gangwon Province after the Korean War, while continuing his writing and scholarly work. He is said to have awakened every morning between 1-2 am to practice fresh mind and meditation.
Similarly, Moon-kwang Sunim practices ""tongqi"" (breathing exercises) and meditation every morning, without fail, as a means of maintaining good health and balance amidst a busy daily schedule. He emphasizes that it is more important to cultivate habits that are sustained rather than try to do many things at once in exercise or practice.
