Overview
Living Affinity is based on the fundamental premise that human beings are social by nature. As such, no individual can live apart from community. Venerable Master Hsing Yun uses this as his point of departure to probe the complex web of relationships that make up the "communities" in our lives. Exploring our relationships with others, with the natural world, with the world of wealth, with the world of time and space, and with Buddhism, he underscores the inherent potential for meaningful affinity and intimate connection in all of us. Venerable Master Hsing Yun draws from his vast knowledge of the Buddhist sutras and other poignant examples in the Buddhist canon, as well as from his lifetime experience rich and full with its own affinities, in offering us sound and practical ways to nurture relationships and cultivate communities. His guiding vision is one that is ultimately humanistic, optimistic, and empowering, because it insists that as human beings, we must engage the world instead of retreat into the prison of our own selves. It is this spirit of compassionate engagement that pervades throughout Living Affinity and assures its relevance to our times.
