Dr. Bokin Kim dives deep into the realm of the mind and spirit, unearthing profound Buddhist teachings.

Drawing from a tranquil well of wisdom, Dr. Kim poses an introspective question: what is spirit? She interprets a Buddhist principle suggesting the spirit as a state of serene clarity, devoid of discriminatory tendencies and attachments.

She then turns the lens of contemplation onto the mind. The mind, as she elucidates, possesses two primary functions: discrimination and attachment. These two facets, in essence, differentiate and tie us to our surroundings.

However, the spirit, although free from these functions, is not a separate entity from the mind. Rather, they interact on a spectrum of revelation.

In this thought-provoking narrative, Dr. Kim invites us to reflect on our own mental states and behaviors, offering a pathway towards greater self-awareness and personal growth.
