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.

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.

“ 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!”
