Dahlia Lee Jung-hyun, author of "Remember That Life Loves You," tells how a shocking comment from a 12-year-old student — “Teacher, I want to die” — propelled her out of depression and into a 13-year world journey searching for healing and purpose. Encountering rising youth mental-health issues, she left school inspired by the story of British nun Tenzin Pamo and spent years visiting Himalayan caves, meditation centers in Thailand and France, volunteering at Mother Teresa House in Kolkata and at Korean flower villages, and studying mindfulness with teachers like the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh. She pursued graduate studies in counseling, trained in hospice care, and developed programs such as “Cultivating the Forest of the Mind” and “All Flowers Are Beautiful” to share practical methods for emotional recovery and community support. The book mixes personal struggle, spiritual encounters, psychological learning, and practical programs aimed at helping individuals and communities heal.
