Rev. Myungjung Lee started her monastic training in 2007. She graduated from the Department of Won Buddhism, Youngsan University, Korea and earned an M.A. of Won Buddhist Studies from the Won Institute of Graduate Studies, PA.

She received full ordination in 2011 and served as a minister at the Won Dharma Center, Won Buddhism Headquarters of USA from 2012 until 2019. She is currently working as a dharma teacher at the Won Buddhism of Philadelphia Temple in Glenside, Pennsylvania. 

Rev. Lee believes the world is in a dark place because there is little clarity in people’s minds. She believes the practice of Buddhadharma and Won Buddhist teachings can brighten people’s minds and hearts. It is this strong faith that guides Rev. Lee’s life and practice. For her, the greatest human discovery was the Buddha’s realization of the true nature of the mind.

With great sincerity and dedication, she strives to heal the world by opening the hearts and minds of all those she touches.
