Daehaeng Sunim has emerged as one of the most creative and accessible of contemporary Korean Buddhist teachers. Her disciples, quite unusually, also include a number of monks-something unheard of previously in a patriarchal monastic tradition. The organization she founded over three decades ago, the Hanmaum Seonwon, has emerged as one of the most influential Korean Buddhist institutions today, with over fifteen domestic branches and ten overseas centers.
"No River to Cross gives 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
"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
