If you met the buddha today: What Stillness Can Teach a Restless World

By Yoojin Kim

The Lotus Journey: Finding Inner Peace Through Buddha's Path Like the lotus that rises from the mud to bloom, we, too, navigate a messy world in search of something deeper. Surrounded by endless distractions and shallow interactions, we long for lasting happiness--often without knowing what that truly means. Over 2,600 years ago, a young Indian prince asked the same questions. Though he lived in comfort, he felt a profound emptiness. Leaving behind his royal life, he faced the raw truths of aging, illness, and death--and set out to seek answers. This book follows his transformation into the Buddha--not a god, but a human being who wrestled with doubt, fear, and longing just like we do. His story continues to resonate not just as religious history, but as a guide to being fully human. We'll walk his path--from sheltered youth to wandering seeker, through intense asceticism, deep meditation, enlightenment beneath the Bodhi tree, and decades of teaching across India. More than a biography, this is an invitation. Buddha's journey reminds us that real peace is possible. You, too, can step onto that path--and perhaps, bloom.
