About This Book
As a Buddhist monk, it's hard to become famous. But the Harvard-educated
Ven. Haemin is an exception. His Twitter site has an enthusiastic
following particularly among young people, regardless of their religious
background. He has some 40,000 followers.
His book is mostly about how people can better handle conflicts that
they face in daily life at work and at home. Though written by a monk,
there is very little related to Buddhism. It reads like a self-help
book, with soothing paintings placed in between the essays.
The 38-year-old’s unique background has caught the attention of the
media as well as the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, the nation's
largest Buddhist sect. He served as a translator to Ven. Jaseung, head
of the Jogye Order, during a trip to France last year.
Ven. Haemin pursued his master’s and doctorate degrees at Harvard
Divinity School and Princeton University respectively.
He said he started to use Twitter to communicate with people. He is the
first Korean monk to teach in the United States as a professor at
Hampshire College in Amherst, Mass., a small liberal arts school.
He is known for fusing his religious studies with meditation practices.
