The artwork was quite nice。 Some of his writings were good advice and I agree with a lot of his outlook on life while not being a Buddhist myself。 But many of his writings seemed trite， a few seemed to contradict each other， while a couple of items seemed like they would have the opposite impact of what he presented。 For example， "A good family trip can prevent divorce" - I remember childhood family holidays often caused blazing rows！ And did eventually lead to the family breaking up。 Also he se The artwork was quite nice。 Some of his writings were good advice and I agree with a lot of his outlook on life while not being a Buddhist myself。 But many of his writings seemed trite， a few seemed to contradict each other， while a couple of items seemed like they would have the opposite impact of what he presented。 For example， "A good family trip can prevent divorce" - I remember childhood family holidays often caused blazing rows！ And did eventually lead to the family breaking up。 Also he seemed to be aiming the book at people who are at a particular stage in life i。e。 parents with youngish children， which meant some of his points were irrelevant for older people。 Overall the prose chapter intros were more convincing than the shorter poetic parts。 。。。more

5★ Awalnya tidak terlalu tertarik， karena saya agak skeptis dengan buku-buku self help， tapi makin penasaran dan baca beberapa halaman jadi memutuskan untuk ikut baca。Bacanya pelan-pelan sesuai judulnya。 Selama Maret 2021 mendedikasikan diri untuk baca buku ini tiap malam。 Tiap halamannya menyadarkan bagaimana cara hidup dengan pelan-pelan di dunia yang super sibuk ini。 Banyak sekali qoutes yang menenangkan。 Sepertinya buku ini akan jadi salah satu buku yang bakal kubaca ulang di kemudian hari 5★ Awalnya tidak terlalu tertarik， karena saya agak skeptis dengan buku-buku self help， tapi makin penasaran dan baca beberapa halaman jadi memutuskan untuk ikut baca。Bacanya pelan-pelan sesuai judulnya。 Selama Maret 2021 mendedikasikan diri untuk baca buku ini tiap malam。 Tiap halamannya menyadarkan bagaimana cara hidup dengan pelan-pelan di dunia yang super sibuk ini。 Banyak sekali qoutes yang menenangkan。 Sepertinya buku ini akan jadi salah satu buku yang bakal kubaca ulang di kemudian hari （bahkan berkali-kali） 。。。more

Enriching insight into life from a Buddhist monk。 The book I read had very nice artwork by Youngcheol Lee。 Although the book didn't bring many new ideas to me， they are all ideas that are good to be reminded of every now and then。 Enriching insight into life from a Buddhist monk。 The book I read had very nice artwork by Youngcheol Lee。 Although the book didn't bring many new ideas to me， they are all ideas that are good to be reminded of every now and then。 。。。more

Ihana， simppeli ja järkyttävän hyvä。 Kuuntelemalla menee paljon hukkaan。 Tämä on kirja jonka ostan yöpöydälle olemaan ja luen loppuelämäni ajan viisauksia virke kerrallaan 😄

Veel over gehoord， maar niet helemaal naar verwachting。 Ik heb het boek nu van begin tot eind gelezen， nooit meer dan 1 hoofdstukje per keer， om er echt de tijd voor te nemen。 De laatste hoofdstukken waarin o。a。 het christendom met het boedhisme vergeleken wordt waren nogal basic en oppervlakking。 Een boek dat sterk begint （echt fijne diepere gedachten） maar basic eindigt， geeft altijd wat een leeg gevoel。 Desalniettemin zaten er absoluur kleine， fijne levenslesjes in he boek die je alleen ziet Veel over gehoord， maar niet helemaal naar verwachting。 Ik heb het boek nu van begin tot eind gelezen， nooit meer dan 1 hoofdstukje per keer， om er echt de tijd voor te nemen。 De laatste hoofdstukken waarin o。a。 het christendom met het boedhisme vergeleken wordt waren nogal basic en oppervlakking。 Een boek dat sterk begint （echt fijne diepere gedachten） maar basic eindigt， geeft altijd wat een leeg gevoel。 Desalniettemin zaten er absoluur kleine， fijne levenslesjes in he boek die je alleen ziet als je er even stil bij blijft staan。 Enkele voorbeeldjes: "Niemand is intrinstiek goed of slecht。 Alleen de omstandigheden waaronder we elkaar ontmoeten zijn goed of slecht。""Het gebrek dat je dadelijk ziet bij iemand die je ontmoet， is waarschijnlijk ook een gebrek in jezelf。 Als je dat gebrek， niet zou hebben， zou je het niet zo snel hebben opgemerkt。""Neem de houding aan die voor jou het gemakkelijkst is。 Houd deze een half uur vast。 De gemakkelijkste houding wordt al snel de ongemakkelijkste。 Alles is vergankelijk， ook de gemakkelijkste houding ter wereld。" Voor mij is het eender een boek om eens uit de kast te pakken op een lege dag， om ergens willekeurig open te slaan， en om dan te kijken waar je uitkomt。 。。。more

A nice book with a lot of quotes。 I found it sometimes a bit cliche。

I listened to this as an audiobook， and it was soothing to have on in the background。 However， I didn’t really enjoy it and I didn’t feel like I got anything out of it。 The stories and statements in this book were nice， but pretty standard。 I don’t feel like I learned anything new while reading this。

Through this book， Haenim Sunim managed to invite readers to a whole new perspective of seeing things : inside， outside， intagible， physical， and everything in between。This book in five words :Warm But Slaps Real Hard。Mindfulness in the most subtle and honest way。

Cả cuốn chắc chỉ thích mỗi đoạn cuối thôi à， những phần trước thì toàn là những thông điệp ngắn rời rạc tuy có ý nghĩa nhưng đọc hoài cũng nản

Một kỉ niệm đặc biệt khi mà cô giáo dạy Văn của tôi đã nói về ý nghĩa của cuộc sống。 Tôi tự hỏi chúng ta có thật sự sống hay đơn giản chỉ đang tồn tại。 Thật khó để trả lời khi mà ngày nay chúng ta luôn ép buộc bản thân vào một khuôn khổ， theo một chủ nghĩa hoàn hảo。 Từ khi nào mà bản thân ta trở nên mỏi mệt， đầu óc trống rỗng， cuộc sống tẻ nhạt một cách không lối thoát。 Tất cả đều xuất phát từ thói quen sống vội vã của mỗi người。 Sư thầy Haemin， nếu bản nghỉ ngơi thì cả thế giới cũng vậy。 Cuộc s Một kỉ niệm đặc biệt khi mà cô giáo dạy Văn của tôi đã nói về ý nghĩa của cuộc sống。 Tôi tự hỏi chúng ta có thật sự sống hay đơn giản chỉ đang tồn tại。 Thật khó để trả lời khi mà ngày nay chúng ta luôn ép buộc bản thân vào một khuôn khổ， theo một chủ nghĩa hoàn hảo。 Từ khi nào mà bản thân ta trở nên mỏi mệt， đầu óc trống rỗng， cuộc sống tẻ nhạt một cách không lối thoát。 Tất cả đều xuất phát từ thói quen sống vội vã của mỗi người。 Sư thầy Haemin， nếu bản nghỉ ngơi thì cả thế giới cũng vậy。 Cuộc sống thực chất không phải là một cuộc cạnh tranh khốc liệt giữa con người mà là một chặng đường trưởng thành của bản thân。 Quan trọng là chúng ta biết bản thân ta là ai và không ngừng cố gắng， đừng đi theo số đông mà hãy dừng lại một chút để lắng nghe trái tim mình。 。。。more

Kirja tarjoaa monia ajatuksia herättäviä kommentteja ja neuvoja elämään。 Monet käsitellyt asiat tuntuvat hyvinkin arkisilta， mutta ehkä siinä piileekin niiden esiin tuomisen voima - usein unohdamme katsoa normaaleja asioita kauempaa， osana suurta kuvaa， ja tämä kirja toimii apuna sen muistamisessa。Kirjassa myös esitettiin joitakin asioita， jotka kuulostivat omaan korvaani hieman liian konservatiivisilta nyky-yhteiskuntaan， mutta toisaalta selittyvät kirjan erilaisella kulttuurisella alkuperällä Kirja tarjoaa monia ajatuksia herättäviä kommentteja ja neuvoja elämään。 Monet käsitellyt asiat tuntuvat hyvinkin arkisilta， mutta ehkä siinä piileekin niiden esiin tuomisen voima - usein unohdamme katsoa normaaleja asioita kauempaa， osana suurta kuvaa， ja tämä kirja toimii apuna sen muistamisessa。Kirjassa myös esitettiin joitakin asioita， jotka kuulostivat omaan korvaani hieman liian konservatiivisilta nyky-yhteiskuntaan， mutta toisaalta selittyvät kirjan erilaisella kulttuurisella alkuperällä ja tukevat kuitenkin lopulta kirjan yleistä ajatusta: ota askel taaksepäin ja katsele kohtaamiasi tilanteita hieman eri näkökulmasta， niin osaat suhtautua niihin paremmin。 On tärkeää muistaa， että oma näkökulmamme ei ole ainoa。 Vaikka teoksen neuvot eivät välttämättä päde suoraan omaan arkeeni， tarjoavat ne kuitenkin ponnistuspinnan ajatella ja huomioida vastaavia asioita omassa elämässäni。 。。。more
