2 What to expect
A gentle book of reflections by a Korean Buddhist teacher, on rest, relationships, love and the pressures of a busy life. Short essays are followed by brief sayings and pieces of advice, with calm color illustrations between them. It is simple, soothing and easy to dip into, closer to a book of encouraging thoughts than to a guide to meditation or to Buddhism.
Good for readers who want: Buddhism, psychology, and spirituality.
