Announcing: The “YEHA Holiday Heart Warmer”. This is an exciting event happening on Friday December 14 at the Jamaica Plain Center. Hosted by the Boston YEHA/Phoenix Team, they are bringing together Dahn members, friends and family for a heart warming holiday celebration. 

The event will include Dahn Mu Do, Dancing, and some special performances by some of The Boston Phoenixes.  Before and after the event people will be invited to take part in the Silent Auction.  So far the auction will include items from Verizon, Trader Joe’s, Starbucks, Henry Bear Park, Lush, many local artists (framed artwork, holiday cards, handbags), CD’s from Snatam Kaur, Organic Health products, Not Your Average Joe’s, CVS, and more!!!   Starbucks will also be generously donating food and refreshments for our event and sending some of their employees to participate. And canned goods will be collected as a donation to The Greater Boston Food Bank.

The proceeds will go to the 302(c) non-profit Dahn Foundation for grants to help future passionate young adults participate in the Phoenix Project. Please come out and celebrate for a good cause!

Today’s card is Il (One, Origin).

 There are many cards with Il in the Chun Bu Kyung deck because it recurs many times in the “Heavenly Code”. The meditation on the card I pulled is:

Compassion comes from an awareness of oneness.

True compassion is letting the healing energy of your true nature flow toward the sadness and pain of others. Compassion comes from a deep realization that you are inseparably one with all things in creation.

How can you not feel compassion when you feel one with everything? It just naturally flows. This card seem particularly appropriate considering we are having the Shim Sung workshop here at the Jamaica Plain Dahn Center this weekend. During the workshop, participants can uncover all of the layers we create over our true nature. Sadness and pain are just layers covering the joy of our true nature. Sometimes it seems strange to me that there are many people in this world who have not experienced their true nature. Then my own compassion flows toward them.

Enjoy your true nature today! You can use commenting on this post as a way of sharing your experiences of your true nature
