Korean Zen monk and bestselling author Haemin Sunim, formally trained at Haein-sa and academically at Berkeley and Princeton, lays out a non-dual reading of awareness in which the inner-outer split is a conceptual artefact rather than a feature of experience. The conversation moves through his early debt to J. Krishnamurti, befriending difficult emotions, and the everyday practice of returning to a unified reality without spiritual bypass.
