Barbara Rhodes: Composting our karma
Code: KN-107Product detailed description
Barbara Rhodes (Zen Master Soeng Hyang) offers the essential Korean Zen teaching of the I-don’t-know mind as an antidote to the overthinking, overstimulating modern world that is the cause of so much suffering. In this collection of essays, Rhodes shows us that there are ways to work with, or “compost,” whatever comes our way, digest it into energy that can get us through difficult times, and live a fulfilling life.
“The Unconscious Mind,” a leading teaching of Korean Zen, points to our clear, enlightened mind before suffering arises based on concepts and judgments about likes and dislikes. Although simple, it is a lifelong exercise with immediate benefits that deepen with practice. By applying the Unconscious Mind to meditation, daily existence, and life’s challenges, readers will learn to work with their own mind’s reactions to things, trust their intuition, perceive situations clearly, and act with natural courage, compassion, and enthusiasm.
Rhodes offers fascinating insights into her professional life as a nurse, her commitment to engaged Buddhism, her life experience as a member of the LGBTQ community, her use of psychedelics on her spiritual journey, and more. Readers will appreciate her wisdom, compassion, enthusiasm, and belief in the power of the practice. The book includes an afterword by Dae Bong Sunim, head teacher at Musangsa Monastery in Korea.
