Won Jin ("Pure Truth" in Korean) is the name I received when I became a Buddhist. But meditation isn't just for Buddhists! You don't need to become a Buddhist to learn how to meditate.

 

The meditation technique I teach is Zen meditation, the precursor to mindfulness meditation. This technique, although of Buddhist origin, is accessible to everyone and has no religious connotations. However, I maintain from the Buddhist tradition the principle of free instruction and the commitment to not commercialize meditation.

 

Meditation is a personal, intimate, and precious act, whose sole purpose is to bring greater happiness. Paying to learn meditation, encouraging employees to meditate to make them more productive, or forcing children to meditate to make them calmer, are all distortions of what meditation truly is.
