How can we maintain the mind of equanimity we cultivate during meditation throughout the rest of the week? How can we practice at home with the same zeal as at a retreat center? In this dharma talk from July 2020, Reverend WonGong explores how to sustain our practice in daily life. Through cultivation, inquiry, and mindful choice, and employing the strategies she offers in this talk, the deep energy and mindfulness of a retreat are always available to us—right in the midst of daily life.
To What Does The One Return
Holy North (Won JahYoo) offers a moving reflection on her personal journey through addiction and recovery. Drawing deep insight from the Won koan, "All dharmas return to one; to what does the one return?" she concludes that every individual is inherently perfect and complete exactly as they are. Through the lens of the threefold practice, she demonstrates how we can all evolve into more dedicated Dharma practitioners and more compassionate human beings.
