출판사 서평

Praise for Seon Master Daehaeng’s No River to Cross

"No River to Cross speaks directly and simply from the heart, much in the manner of Shunryu Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. Master Daehaeng's ability to penetrate the skin with plain and pointed words should give this work the same longevity." —Francisca Cho, Georgetown University, translator of Everything Yearned For

“This first taste of a fresh female voice leaves you hungry for more." —Shambhala Sun

저자(글) Seon Master Daehaeng

Daehaeng Kun Sunim was a highly respected Buddhist teacher of Korea. While most Korean Zen masters have traditionally taught only monks and perhaps a few nuns, Daehaeng Kun Sunim was determined to teach spiritual practice in such a way that anyone--regardless of their occupation, gender, or family status--could practice and awaken. With this in mind, in 1972 she established Hanmaum Seon Center as a place where everyone could come and learn about their true nature and how to live with freedom, dignity, and courage. The center has gone on to emerge as one of the most influential Korean Buddhist centers today, with over fifteen domestic branches and nine overseas centers. Daehaeng Kun Sunim is the author of No River to Cross. She passed away in May 2012.
