To awaken the awareness already within and support the recognition of the true nature of mind, guiding the return to our original awakened state.
Awaremember, Nami Park
A Journey of Listening to the Voice Within
I wanted to know why I was born into this world. Why arriving here — in this life — was inevitable.A happy person doesn't search for reasons to be happy. A free person doesn't long for freedom. Those who already live by simply being don't ask why. It took more than ten years of exploration to understand this.So that the young soul within me could come to know that being born into this world is a blessing — I flowed. To Dublin, Ireland. To Woljeongsa, deep in the mountains of Korea. To Pharping, Nepal. And now, to this place — Vancouver.Perhaps your journey looks a little like mine. And so — Awaremember.
What We BelieveAwaremember is a sanctuary for the journey back to you.
We are all born whole. But somewhere along the way, we lose sight of that. In a world that tells us to have more, do more, and prove more, the quiet connection to ourselves slowly comes undone. But it was never lost. Only obscured.
Tibetan Buddhism calls it Rigpa. Korean Seon Buddhism calls it 본래면목(本來面目) — Bonnae Myeonmok. Different words, pointing to the same place. The original awakened state is not something brought from outside. It was never gone. It has always been here.
That is what Awaremember means.
Awaremember = Aware + Remember
Aware — to notice what is here, right now.
Remember — to recognize what was never gone.
A return to the you that was always there. That is the journey Awaremember walks with you.
Tibetan singing bowl sessions, writing, reading, Buddhist meditation practice — the forms may differ, but the direction is always the same.
Toward the inner home that lives within you.
