Everyday we do things, we are things that have to do with peace.
If we are aware of our life, our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive.

| Man Hee Lee via Stevens Lee's blog |
Lee was born into a farming family in Gyeongbuk Cheongdo, on September 15, 1931, and claims to be the descendant of royalty from the Joseon Dynasty. His name was given to him by his grandfather, who had supposedly dreamt of a light emerging from the heavens before Lee was born. Lee was thus named "Man Hee (Hanja: 萬熙)", which means a complete and perfect light.
