🔽 Review summary 🔽

★★★★☆  Make-up is to enhance the beauty, not to hide behind it, and Buddhism is to find truth, by being true. So his purposes are not as contradictory. Such a unique person, a person with a mission.


🔽 Book review and notes 🔽

Such a unique person, a person with a mission.
Saw him on Netflix and love the fact that he is a monk and a make-up artist, at the same time, with the same purposes – though they seem completely the opposite, they are not.

This book would be a perfect self-help book for a young person who is struggling to find true self, (whether they are gay or not, I’m not gay and this is inspiring) and his message is clear; be proud.

Make-up is there to enhance the beauty, not to hide behind it, and Buddhism is there to find truth, by being true. So his purposes are not as contradictory as it might seem.
