Moments of Joy

Praise

“Sister Jina’s life and way of living is like a poem.” 
—Sister Chan Khong, author of Learning True Love: Practicing Buddhism in a Time of War 

“The best mind medicine.” 
—Adriaan van Diis

“These light, refreshing, and often humorous gems of poetry will gladden your heart on a rainy day and enhance the sunshine. Composed by a Buddhist nun who has diligently practiced mindfulness and concentration for many years, they are like drops of morning dew that wash away all confusion and lead to the flowering of insight.”
—Sister Annabel Laity, author of True Virtue: The Autobiography of a Western Buddhist Nun


“A beautiful body of work that somehow feels as though it was written a century ago, and a century from now, at the very same time. These are simple observations that too often go unnoticed, the raw, perfect beauty of little moments. We all struggle to stay in the present, to absorb the beauty around us, but while reading this book, you cannot drift away.”
—Tyler Knott Gregson, author of Miracle in the Mundane: Poems, Prompts, and Inspiration to Unlock Your Creativity and Unfiltered Joy
