Become a Meditation Teacher

Won means “circle” in Korean. The circle symbolizes the ultimate truth of the universe which is voidness, completeness, and rightness. By understanding the principle of Won, modeling ourselves wholeheartedly on the truth of one circle, we cultivate and nurture a pure and clear mind. 

Won Buddhism offers people a way to cultivate their own divine nature and awaken to the truth of Won. To manifest our true nature, we can train the mind through meditation and mindfulness, and realize the perpetual infinite gratitude which we receive and give from the universe. Therefore, the key tenets of Won Buddhism are mind practice and gratitude; these can be the keys to live our life without suffering.
