Kido October 2018 (3 days)

October 11, 2018, 20:30 - October 14, 2018, 14:00

With Hwikwang Sunim and Daesung Sunim.

Kido means, “Energy Way”. Two days of chanting, bowing, & playing percussion instruments such as bells, clackers, and drums, while walking. An intensive practice of chanting samadhi where all sounds become one universal sound.

PLEASE BRING A PERCUSSION INSTRUMENT!!

Chanting is a form of meditation in Buddhism. It gives us direct access to the spiritual world. It balances our subtle energy system while allowing for deeper meditation. No prior experience is necessary, and anyone is welcome.

Our guest sunims will present and teach us the technique and power of Korean Buddhist chants.
