Membaca kembali buku ini setelah hampir setengah tahun menelantarkan belum di baca lagi. 3 hari yang lalu setelah menonton joker yang habis nonton bawaan nya jadi gloomy dan ga enakan, memutuskan membaca (lagi) buku ini dan lumayan healing perasaan gloomy ngga jelas nya. Buku ini banyak memberikan possitive vibe tanpa harus menggurui pembaca nya.

Tradusă în România drept "Oprește-te puțin și privește în jur."

"The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down" de Haemin Sunim (cu ilustrații de Youngcheol Lee), un călugăr budist și profesor, este o carte de dezvoltare personală care îndeamnă la liniștea interioară, la evoluția sinelui și la pacea cu cei din jur.

"We should love people like the sun loves the earth."

Împărțită în opt capitole precum "viață", "pasiune", "spiritualitate", "odihnă", autorul oferă sfaturi în situații din viața reală, dând însă și exemple din propria experiență, atât de călugăr, cât și de profesor, chiar și în conversație cu alți oameni. Citatul următor, inspirat din budism, este al unei cunoștințe:

"Our reality is not the infinitely stretching cosmos but the small part we choose to focus on. Reality exists because our minds exist. Without the mind, there would be no universe."

Haemin Sunim îndeamnă la meditație, asupra vieții umane și la reflectare, asupra acțiunilor noastre de zi cu zi. Și la aprecierea momentelor simple sau chiar si la aprecierea noastră, ca ființe complexe ce suntem.

"With love in our hearts, we find the most mundane things sacred and beautiful."

Desigur, au fost și câteva aspecte cu care nu am rezonat, dar în general m-am simțit foarte bine citindu-i lucrarea, iar autorul nu judecă pe nimeni, doar scrie. Am și subliniat pe carte, ceea ce nu prea fac, dar autorul recomandă asta. 🤫
