No River to Cross: Trusting the Enlightenment That's Always Right Here
"No River to Crossspeaks directly and simply from the heart, much in the manner of Shunryu Suzuki'sZen 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)"No River to Crossgives us a strong voice, at times astonishingly direct; a balance of clear explanations of the complex terms and concepts of Buddhist practice with precise, perfectly chosen, illuminating examples; and a striking relevance for today's world in Daehaeng Sunim's reflections, among other topics, on creation, evolution, and religious conflict." (David McCann, recipient of the Manhae Prize for Arts and Sciences, and Director of the Korea Institute at Harvard University)"Daehaeng Kun Sunim emerges in this collection as one of the most creative and accessible of contemporary Korean Buddhist teachers, capable of using even the most mundane of daily events as grist for the mill of Buddhist teaching and practice." (Robert Buswell, Director of the Center for Buddhist Studies, UCLA, from his Foreword)
