Meditations of A Korean Monk Weekly Reader

Zen Master Beopjeong spent over thirty years on South Korea's bestseller lists. Praised as one of the great spiritual leaders of our time (Korea Herald) and one of the most popular and influential religious leaders in Korea (Korea Times) who left immeasurable teachings to all of us (President of South Korea Lee Myung-bak), Beopjeong wrote on the foibles of modern life and the joys of nature and simplicity. His direct, uncomplicated prose continues to appeal to new generations of readers. Meditations of a Korean Monk presents Beopjeong's musings and insights in English-Korean parallel text. Divided into fifty two weeks, each section offers two meditations and an illustration from Korean art. Each page in translation is mirrored by its original Korean hangul script on the facing page. Beopjeong's name is also commonly Romanized as Beop Jeong, Bubjeong, Bopjong or Pup Jeong. The translator, D. Bannon, is a member of the American Translators Association (ATA).
