Reflections on Zen Master Chong An Sunim's Visit

sunim-mangrove-yak001
OZS was honored to host Zen Master Chong An Sunim for the last 12 days! He is now in route back to Hungary and will be arriving today. It was especially rewarding and beyond words, for me to be sharing the Dharma with Zen Master Chong An Sunim. If you had a chance to attend all or part of our retreat weekend, good for you!

It is the generous support of our Sangha members that made all this possible! Thank you all for helping to make this a successful and rewarding couple of weeks.

Enlightenment is the Solution - Chong An Sunim - March 8, 2019

In this second visit to OZS, Sunim begins our weekend retreat with a brief Dharma talk on the path to awakening followed by a Q&A.

May all beings be happy.
May they awaken from the dream.
May delusions fall away and clinging cease.
Ignorance, greed, and anger have no hold on the awakened heart.
