What Kyol Che Really Means

Kyol Che means the functioning of the one pure and clear thing. So, looking for something else is not necessary. Only the action, the experience of sitting together, bowing together, eating together, working together, depending on each other. That's already pure and clear. That's already human nature. That means we are already complete, but we desire something more, so everything seems not complete.

Kyol Che means practicing and allowing ourselves to let this one pure and clear thing, our human nature, function freely together with others. That means this hand never checks this foot. Where is this foot going? This hand never checks that. This ear never checks this eye. This eye never checks this nose. This nose never checks this mouth. Eyes just see; ears only hear, each in its own function doing something completely together. Then, when all perceptions come together, the right action is possible.

Kyol Che really means a dependence on each other, caring about each other, working with each other with no hindrance, in other words with no I, with no choice.
