About this listen
“I went to a 28-day program at Woljeongsa Temple, in the mountains of Pyeongchang, South Korea. Very quickly things went wrong — really wrong.
In the middle of things falling apart, what can help right away?”
Many people are interested in mindfulness as a support for happiness, but this usually focuses on sitting meditation. You can’t always drop to the ground and sit, especially when things get difficult. There are other techniques you can easily use in the middle of the messy times. This book describes the hwadu critical phrase technique, providing nine useful hwadu slogans. These powerful techniques can be used by anyone, whether they know anything about Buddhism or not.
They are useful on the spot, right at the moment when things feel the most overwhelming.
The author is Venerable Myeong’il, an American Zen monk who went to a Korean monastery for a temple training retreat when problems quickly emerged. The practices described in this book helped him to work with the stresses.
