Episode notes

Welcome to the 3rd season.

A man journeys home through misty mountains & beauty in old Korea.

As previous karma follows his path, he meets with unexpected fortune, & terror.

Letting Go, written by Zen Master Daehaeng, presents us with a story to which we might all relate.

Zen Master Daehaeng (1927 - 2012) was a Buddhist nun began her spiritual life at the age of 8 in Korea, before its split into North & South. As an enlightened master, she taught for more than 40 years at the Han Ma Um Center (founded 1972), and broke many of the traditional roles in Korean Buddhism, by having both male & female disciples, and teaching that people from all walks of life could practice & awaken to their true nature.
