HWADU MEDITATION

Who are you? Where are you going? Ganhwa Seon presents an approach to address these questions. It shows that the path of living as a Buddha resides precisely in this truth.

• Preface

  We accumulate things because we need them, but sometimes our things cause us great aggravation. Thus, to possess something can mean to be possessed by that thing. When the things we accumulated through need have actually bound our freedom, we can say that subject and object have traded places and we become the object of possession. Therefore, having many possessions can be a source of pride, but at the same time there is an aspect of bondage in proportion to the number of possessions.
