**About The Teacher:**
Hae Kwang Sunim started training at the age of 18 in Thailand. He has taken full seminary and in temple training in S. Korea, with graduated ordinations (including Bhikkhu ordination) under Patriarch Kun Sunim. He spent over 25 years distilling the I.P.Q.G. deepest and hardest to grasp teachings into a simplified language so it can be taught and effectively applied directly in daily life. In 2005 (2549), the 19th Headquarters in Korea appointed Venerable Hae Kwang Sunim as Director of Bo Kwang Zen Center Palm Springs, U.S.A. In 2013, the Western Bhikkhus Council nominated Hae Kwang Sunim 교구장 Kyo Goo Jahng of all American-European Temples (closest english translation: North American-European Oversight Head / Bishop / Director).
\*
Hae Kwang Sunim drew from the most effective mind-body teachings he acquired from studying under different teachers in the East, including the teachings of Wat Bua Luang in Thailand. Part of the methodology is based on the ancient Eastern principles of Hai Palung (Energy Healing), Mind-Body Healing Qigong, Pon Klie Kwan Sow (Emotional Release), Meditation, Food Based Healing and the importance of compassion, gratitude, oneness, outreach and the need to support the whole person holistically - Body, Mind and Spirit.

I first started partaking in the classes when I was still working over 10 years ago. I found that the Saturday morning classes were my reset button that allowed me to refresh and be ready for my gruelling week ahead.
When ever I found myself in distress engaging in the classes and applying the learned grounding practises that Sunim teaches became my lifeline to tranquility.
Last year with my cancer diagnosis, I was able to truly test the Qi Gong class practise and tools shared in a big way, and I can confidently say that they not only sustained me but provided me with the comfort and stamina to get through my treatments with calm and ease.
The Qi Gong practise along with Sunim’s compassionate teachings always leave me feeling like I am walking on clouds, and that my body has had a inner cleansing - a restorative generative feeling that no doubt supports my continued healing in this cancer journey that I now find myself in.
I do not know how I would have been able to cope without the classes, without the techniques shared and without Sunim’s compassionate presence.
Sincerely hope that more people will have the opportunity to access to this modality of healing that truly is empowering and life changing.
Please feel free to reach out and happy to share more about my experience with Qi Gong and Sunim.
Warm regards

It was a great "virtual" class today. I felt so relaxed and understood More. I found I was actually tingling all over. I actually read a bit of the information you sent, this time. It helped. Thank you. I will see you on Monday.

Thank you Sunim for another WONDERFUL Silent Retreat. You have a gift for creating a nurturing and nourishing environment. This retreat was filled with an abundance of Peace and Love. GRATITUDE for the nourishing environment, the Love and Peace you created as my awareness grew vast, expanded and my Truth was beautifully revealed. I look forward with great anticipation to all your retreats Sunim and I feel they are “food for my Soul” so I will be back again. It was EXCITING to meet in person some of those I have only seen in your Zoom classes and I feel BLESSED to have made some new friends while for those that I knew it was FANTASTIC to see them in person once again and the opportunity to deepen our bond. Thank you, thank you, thank you Sunim. There’s nothing like you and Sangha to put a SMILE on my face and in my heart. I look forward to attending the October Silent Retreat. With Love, - Helen E

Hae Kwang does it right! Starts off with d-stressing exercises and then from a somewhat guided to full meditation followed with a talk that nails it for me! Can't believe i didn't have to travel to Asia for this experience. Thank you! - Rick G.

Wanted to share I went to sleep last night and had a nightmare within 20 minutes. I was soooo tired and then remembered to do my Kidney cleanse and fell back asleep without a repeat nightmare. Typically grounding takes hours for me I so am grateful for this tool.

"Amazing retreat! A few things I loved; high vibrational practice with Hae Kwang in person! meeting and talking with Aubrey, honest personal sharing, warm people, delicious food, prepared and offered with love, ethereal music, soft lighting, peace and silence, a magical winter setting, being reminded that the most momentous changes in my life have been preceeded by surrender. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Hi Sunim,
I hope you are staying warm in this winter weather. Just wanted to say thank you for the teachings yesterday. It’s beautiful how the universe works and provides just what you need. I was really struggling the few days before class. It felt as if I was in an internal tornado but paralyzed at the same time. I went through my tool box/Rolodex of practices but was still struggling to find that space, that space between thoughts. But through the offerings of your teachings and the space created by the community, I was able to add more tools to the tool box and felt guided and supported while doing so. So a heartfelt thank you to you and the community. The knowing that pain/challenges are our greatest professor if we allow it, becomes much more accessible when the light and love from others is shared in support of the journey.
With love and gratitude

Dear Sunim, I think I have been coming to your classes for possibly 5 years? Maybe more? I knew that first class that I had finally found what I was searching for and you truly have helped me ultimately find peace of mind. I am so very grateful to you and this Sangha and I cannot imagine my life without you and your teachings in it.
Thank you - Sally H.

Sending love and light."

“ Today was my first visit and I truly enjoyed the class. The people there are so nice and welcoming. The moves that Sunim showed were easy to follow. I love the music, Qigong, the meditation, stretching, the experiences were amazing! My favourite part was when we were playing with the energy ball, I could actually felt the magnetic feeling in my hands. Also the part when we used our fingers to pull out bad energies and I could feel the tingling on my legs as I move my fingers up my body, that's awesome! The class is so relaxing, the group discussion in the end was a nice touch, like a story telling, or sharing experiences with each other. I will be back for more. Thank you so much, Sunim, you are a great instructor!”

"I was given a teaching that said on the day of your birth that instead of receiving (although the teaching last night was a gift gratefully received), you give back to all the people, experiences that have helped, are helping you Be You. I thank this Sangha - the good people I am meeting, the practice, the sharing that is expanding, grounding, each of us in our own unique ways to be Our Best Selves. Who knew ( I did not) when I came into this world, that I would be sharing this walk at this time with such genuinely heartfelt, beautiful people . My 'legs', I know, are still wobbly from having fallen (thus the ego voice is still seeking 'contol') but my Heart knows the Way Home. It really does. And isn't that the heartbeat we hear, we feel, when we gather together? So, Thankyou to Everyone for the support, Love we offer one another from within this Sangha and to you Sunim, - I have heard you say a few times that 'we' (the members) create the Sangha . Yet, there would be no Sangha if it weren't for the 'ground' you have created, offering All a Sacred (safe) Space to feel welcome to enter and Just Be and for that I contine to Thank You. Love to All."
