Engaging teachings on the core Korean Zen practice of "don't-know mind" that encourage us to cultivate and apply a clear mind, improve our intuition, feel naturally at ease, and generate compassionate wisdom to face whatever arises.??Barbara Rhodes (Zen Master Soeng Hyang) offers the core Korean Zen teaching of don't-know mind as an antidote to the over-thinking, overly stimulating modern world that is the cause of so much suffering.
In this collection of essays, Rhodes shows us that there are ways we can work with, or "compost, " whatever we've got in front of us, digest it into energy that can get us through the rough times, and cultivate a satisfying life. "Don't-know mind, " Korean Zen's foremost teaching, points to our clear enlightened mind before suffering arises based on concepts and judgments of like and dislike.
While simple, it is a lifelong exercise, with immediate benefits that get deeper with practice. By applying don't-know mind to meditation, everyday existence, and life's challenges, readers will learn to work with their own mind's reactions to things; trust their intuition; perceive situations clearly; and act with natural courage, compassion, and enthusiasm. Rhodes offers fascinating insights from her professional life as a nurse; her commitment to engaged Buddhism; her life experience as a member of the LGBTQ community; her use of psychedelics on her spiritual path; and more.
Readers will appreciate her down-to-earth wisdom, compassion, enthusiasm, and faith in the power of this practice. This book includes an afterword by Dae Bong Sunim, a guiding teacher at Musangsa Monastery in Korea.
