Hyon Gak is very much body's name, his personality, his need to talk, and talk and talk. If you go train with him, he does not bother to find out what you already understand, the state of your practice, so how can he teach? This is NOT Seung Sahn's teaching, he said, you can't get free repeating Who am I? What is the one and pure thing? Hyon Gak proves you can't wake up sitting kyol che for twenty years - he is stuck in his knowing, he knows Zen, you don't.
Thumping the dais is the _yung_ or function not the _t'i_ or essence. All of the koans only show the _yung_ or function. Who we are is before the function including our very thoughts. It was before our birth, that is, it is unborn.
I'm grateful for this upload. Thank you, I love Hyon Gak's style. He has put in the time and effort, it's inspiring.
Thank you,Reverean Hyun.

A great place for Zen in America is Gyobutsuji Zen Monastery with Shoryu Bradley. Deep practice of Zen Meditation :)
Strong voice, rather unpleasant to listen to... 🤔
