Summary

Holy North (Won JahYoo) offers a moving reflection on her personal journey through addiction and recovery. Drawing deep insight from the Won koan, "All dharmas return to one; to what does the one return?" she concludes that every individual is inherently perfect and complete exactly as they are. Through the lens of the threefold practice, she demonstrates how we can all evolve into more dedicated Dharma practitioners and more compassionate human beings.
