I May Be Wrong 내가 틀릴 수도 있습니다 by Björn Natthiko Lindeblad 비욘 나티코 린데블라드

"I wolfed this down in one sitting, highlighting words on every page. Whatever your views on who or what God is, there are some people who keep close company with it or them. Bjorn Natthiko was one of those folks. Based on this account of his life, God walked next to him, and talked through him, and Bjorn describes here what that was like. It isn’t what you’d expect. Bjorn’s friends, his life, his family, the monks and nuns he shared monasteries with were not holier than thou. They lust after flight attendants, they laugh, they watch the Matrix, have opinions about Led Zeppelin and Winnie the Pooh. They find meditation really, really hard. But they are also wise. They accept themselves and each other, they learn humility, and to trust that if they make room for miracles, they come. One of the first things we learn about Bjorn is that he is already dead. That you will never know him personally, that you will never be able to ask him questions. And this is very sad. And yet, even if the way I met him and his family and friends is through this book… I am so glad he took the time to write it ....."

보통의 사회인에서 불교 수도승으로의 인생전환 그리고 다시 사회복귀..... 그 과정에서 겪게 되는 심리적 육체적 고통들과 치유, 새로운 만남과 삶의 희망과 깨달음, 사랑하는 사람들과의 이별, 그리고 갑자기 찾아온 불치병 등 소설 같은 인생을 살다 간 인물의 자서전이다. 세속적 욕망과 행복에 대한 갈망과 정신적 영적 깨달음을 향한 저자의 솔직한 이야기가 마음에 든다. ".... more important than ever to live here right now in every moment, instead of getting lost in thoughts about what things should be like or what might be ..." "In Hinduism, there's a saying : God hid the most precious of all jewels where he knew you would never look for it : in your own pocket." "The only person we should tell to let things go is ourselves, that's the only time it works...." "That we don't have each other forever is the only thing we know for sure. Everything else is a maybe......" ".... Human life is short. When we truly understand that, when we stop taking each other and what we have for granted, then we move through our own lives differently ..." " .... whenever I relax my hold on my desires, they seem to be fulfilled more easily...." "Most of the psychological suffering we humans experience is voluntary and self-inflicted" 등의 좋은 문장들이 많은 책이다. 종교적 영적인 이야기를 포함하고 있기 때문에 이해하는데 노력이 필요한 표현들도 있지만 전체적으로는 영어문장이나 표현들이 간결하고 무난한 편이다.
