Turning Things Around
Entrusting to Juingong
Daehaeng Kun Sunim
Daehaeng Kun Sunim — the 20th-century Korean Bhikkhuni master and founder of Hanmaum Seon Center — gives the foundational teaching on her signature method: turning every thought, every difficulty, every fear back over to Juingong, the 'true master' or 'inherent mind' within. The talks are quietly revolutionary in the Korean tradition: a woman teacher giving public dharma to enormous lay audiences, in plain Korean, on a method designed entirely for householder life.
The most influential modern Korean Bhikkhuni teaching — a method designed for working laypeople and adopted by hundreds of thousands.

More foundational talks from Korean Seon.
Only Don't Know
Seungsahn Sunim — the Korean Zen master who founded the Kwan Um School in 1972 and built the largest Western Korean Seon network in existence — gives the talks that became the franchise. 'Only don't know.' The phrase is the entire teaching: a koan, an instruction, a practice, and a refuge. The talks combine that absolute simplicity with bracing dharma combat, broken-English humor, and a radical insistence that the Great Question is the only thing worth carrying.
Live Dharma Talk
English Q&A
Pomnyun Sunim — the Korean Seon master and humanitarian whose Jungto Society dharma talks have made him by raw audience numbers the most-watched Buddhist teacher in Korea — runs a weekly English Q&A. Audience members from around the world ask everything: career, family, depression, geopolitics, the climate emergency. Pomnyun answers in plain Korean translated live, with an immediacy and practical precision that has made the broadcast a quiet phenomenon among English-speaking practitioners.
