Kido: energy path
October 1 to 31. Led by Manhwa Sunim.
IN-PERSON & ONLINE
During the month of October a kido will be held in Borisa, we invite you to come and experience this practice in person or online. Participants chant the mantra of great compassion, Great Dharani.
Once, before a retreat in Boulder, I asked him [Zen Master Seung Sahn] what he did when he sat. He told me he recited the Great Dharani over and over, very fast, one repetition per breath. “Then your mind is like a washing machine on spin cycle, moving very fast. All the dirty water goes out, but the center is not moving.” The Great Dharani (or Dharani of Great Compassion) is a very long mantra—about 450 syllables. I asked him if he actually pronounced, sub-vocally, every syllable. He said he perceived each syllable, moment to moment. He was fond of the notion that in Buddhist psychology moments of perception go by at about the same fraction-per-second rate that frames of film must be projected in order to create the illusion of motion. (Zen Master Hae Kwang)
