General Etiquette & Instructions For
Meditation & Koan Interviews

Sitting / Walking Meditation Etiquette & Instructions

  • Please respect the focus and concentration of your fellow practitioners.
  • Please mute your microphone.
  • Turning your camera on is encouraged, but not required.
  • Chairs are ok.
  • Sunim understands that sitting can be strenuous so take a break if necessary.
  • If you need to move around, please turn off your camera first.
  • Walking Meditation
    • When sitting for multiple sessions, we alternate sitting and walking meditation.
    • Please turn your camera off and focus on your Koan while you walk carefully and mindfully as your personal space allows.

Koan Interview Etiquette & Instructions

Koan Practice & Discussion
  • Koan Practice is deeply personal and confidential between the Student and the Master.
  • Practitioners should never discuss their Koan with anyone but Sunim.
  • Sunim may discuss Koans during Dharma Talks and other opportunities as he deems appropriate.
Koan Interviews
  • The purpose of the Koan Interview is for the Master to check in with the Student in order to gauge their progress and afford the Student the opportunity to discuss with the Master.
  • Sunim will create breakout rooms for everyone to continue their Sitting Meditation while the Koan Interviews are held.
  • Please join the breakout room and continue sitting while being aware that he will shortly invite you to join a separate room for your interview.
  • Once invited, promptly join him in the Koan Interview room and follow his instructions.
  • Once you have finished your interview, you can exit the breakout room to the main room and continue your Sitting Meditation.
