WEEK 3 GUIDED VIDEO Experiencing the Unknown
In this video, the third of four, Haemin Sunim guides us in greeting the unknown, or the don't-know mind. He probes at our desire to know and to draw boundaries, and points out how peace and compassion arise in the absence of division. He then introduces a new koan: “If all returns to one, where does the one return?”
“If all things return to one, where does the one return to?” Keep this koan with you throughout the week. You may also continue with one of the earlier koans if it brings up the mind of not knowing. The point is not to arrive at a correct answer, but to find no place for the mind to land.
