Houden van dingen die niet perfect zijn - Haemin Sunim

In Loving Things That Are Not Perfect, Korean Zen Buddhist teacher Haemin Sunim reflects on one of life’s quiet challenges: learning to meet ourselves and others with greater compassion. Rather than striving for perfection, he reminds us that kindness, acceptance, and understanding often begin with embracing our own imperfections.

Drawing on Buddhist philosophy and everyday experience, Sunim explores themes such as love, relationships, self-care, forgiveness, purpose, and resilience. His reflections are accompanied by gentle illustrations that create space to pause, reflect, and return to what truly matters.

Written in an accessible and heartfelt style, this Dutch edition offers practical wisdom for navigating modern life while remaining rooted in the timeless principles of mindfulness and compassion. It is a book to read slowly, returning to its pages whenever a moment of encouragement or perspective is needed.
