What is Seon Meditation

Seon Meditation is one of the most powerful forms of meditation. Seon teaches participants how to increase concentration power, also known as samadhi power. In Seon training, the results are solid and concrete. By increasing samadhi, the mind becomes much more relaxed and peaceful and the body becomes much healthier.


It's an ancient meditation that is a central practice of Mahayana Buddhism. Seon utilizes many secret methods, most of which cannot be found in print, especially in English. These techniques have been handed down from Master to disciple in an oral tradition that has existed for more than 2,500 years, since the time of Shakyamuni Buddha, the founder of Buddhism.

We often associate meditation with relaxation or feeling good. However, if we only seek comfort in our meditation, we will not make progress. Only hard work and consistent effort will produce genuine results in meditation training. This meditation method is very effective for those who sincerely wish to make progress in their meditation and transform their lives.


Shakya XianAn (현안 스님)

HyunAn Sunim started practicing Chan meditation under Master YongHua in 2012. As an enterprenuer at the time, practicing Chan meditation improved her business and personal life tremandeously. It became her wish to share the benefits with others. She then founded “Chan in the Park” in 2015 to start teaching Chan Meditaiton and helping others around the world. She became a Buddhist Nun later to dedicate her life to Mahayana Buddhism. Per her Master's instruciton, she returned to Korea and started teaching Chan meditation at various Korean temples. She published “Going to Jeweled Mountain, Return with emtpy hands” sharing stories of Chan meditators in Korean. Currently she is now a resident nun at Jeweled Conch Seon Center (Bundang, Korea).
