Summary
Haemin Sunim: Love for the Imperfect
The new world bestseller by the popular Zen Buddhist teacher Haemin Sunim (whose name literally means "spontaneous wisdom"), is about accepting yourself and finding your place and purpose in the world. Many of us react to stress and life's adversities by withdrawing and closing in on ourselves, while some devote themselves too much to work or a task; but denying problems or trying to please our surroundings can lead us to anxiety or depression, warns us this warm priest and teacher, who is already being called the successor of Thich Nhat Hanh in the world. He invites us to ask a new question: Is it enough to just exist? In his wonderful book, he shares with us his experience and wisdom gathered over the years, reminding us that we must first accept ourselves - in its entirety, with all flaws and imperfections - in order to receive and give the best from the world. When we find peace within ourselves, we will be at peace with the world around us.
