Description

THE KOREAN BESTSELLER

'Have you ever thought that the snail that moves slowly will never reach the end of the path; Have you ever wanted to grab it to make it go faster? On a human scale, the snail's speed is ridiculously slow, but on a world scale, it's just perfect.'

In this calming and heart-warming book Jung-mok, a Buddhist nun from Korea, teaches us to free ourselves from the stress of our modern lives. A specialist in meditation, Jung-mok shares simple gestures and daily practices rooted in Buddhist philosophy to help us live a lifestyle conducive to happiness.

This collection of thoughts and short stories imbued with wisdom invites us to open our eyes to the world around us and appreciate the small things which bring us joy. It is a poetic and soothing reminder to grasp and appreciate the beauty of the present moment.
