Lao Tzu
“Stop leaving and you will arrive. Stop searching and you will see. Stop running away and you will be found.”
Lao Tzu

Haemin Sunim
“Life isn’t a hundred-meter race against your friends, but a lifelong marathon against yourself.”
Haemin Sunim, The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to be Calm in a Busy World

Pema Chödrön
“Relaxing with the present moment, relaxing with hopelessness, relaxing with death, not resisting the fact that things end, that things pass, that things have no lasting substance, that everything is changing all the time—that is the basic message.”
Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times

Haemin Sunim
“Do not fight your negative emotions. Observe and befriend them.”
Haemin Sunim, The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down: How to be Calm in a Busy World

Pema Chödrön
“We are like children building a sand castle. We embellish it with beautiful shells, bits of driftwood, and pieces of colored glass. The castle is ours, off limits to others. We’re willing to attack if others threaten to hurt it. Yet despite all our attachment, we know that the tide will inevitably come in and sweep the sand castle away. The trick is to enjoy it fully but without clinging, and when the time comes, let it dissolve back into the sea.”
Pema Chödrön, When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times
