In this understated talk, Michael Macklin (Won Hyoung) is ambivalent calling Master Sotaesan's very modern-day enlightenment experience a "story." Listen to learn how we, as fellow practitioners, can not only benefit from Master Sotaesan's hard-earned wisdom, but can become enlightened ourselves. https://www.wonbuddhismnc.org/donations
Great Enlightenment: A View from Marvelous Existence by Kathleen Herr (Won HerrJu) (대각 大覺 : 놀라운 존재로서의 의미)
Kathleen Herr (Won HerrJu) takes us on an open and vulnerable journey, describing her current practice as one best defined by the term, "middle spiritual capacity." In this space, enlightenment can seem far away and unattainable. Kathleen assures us that no matter the form, enlightenment is just as here and now as a daffodil is a daffodil before it blooms - even when it's a bulb! The lack of yellow petals doesn't mean the daffodil bulb isn't what it is, and Kathleen's wise insight details how we can recognize enlightenment for what it actually is. https://www.wonbuddhismnc.org/donations
