IVE member Jang Won-young's recommended book "Buddha's Words" (2024)
The 20-year-old K-pop star had recommended "Buddha's Words" on an episode of the local talk show, "You Quiz on the Block" (2022-), aired on Jan. 15.

Recounting one of its memorable lessons, she said it gave her strength at times of anger and frustration.
The book says: "Do not become attached. If you do not cling on to everything, nothing is a problem, but as soon as you do, that thought or the idea births pain, and you suffer," she said.

"It helped me calm down and get the strength to move on to tomorrow."
"Buddha's Words" is written by Japanese author and former abbot Koike Ryunosuke, who has rewritten and reinterpreted Buddha's teachings into modern language for contemporary audiences.
