An interesting post about Dahn Yoga.

From Ilchi Lee ’s book The Twelve Enlightenments When someone asks us, “Who are you?” we most often tell them our name. And when someone points to an object and asks, “What is that?” we tell the person the name of the object. However, the name of the object is not object itself. How far or deep or truthfully can your name represent who you really are? Since a name by itself is a poor substitute for oneself, we use other names or titles to specify our existence in this society. I am so and so, the wife of so and so… I am a student at a so and so college majoring in so and so subject… I graduated from a so and so school and am working for so and so corporation…. This list can go on forever. However, how long a list you put next to your name, you will never be able to adequately express who you are fully. No matter how long a name may be, it is just a trademark or a label on you, and not you yourself.
