Today, Mark talks with South Korean monk Haemin Sunim about enlightenment, awakening and Zen in general. Haemin Sunim was at Princeton, Berkeley and Harvard before he became a monk. He is the author of two books, “The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to Be Calm in a Busy World,” and  “Love for Imperfect Things: How to Accept Yourself in a World Striving for Perfection.”

Learn how:

• You need to be able to slow down so you can appreciate everything more
• A good teacher matches behavior with lessons about awakening
