Šnek je pomalý, ale nikdy nemá zpoždění – Jung-mok (2026)

Have you ever thought that a slowly moving snail will never reach the end of its journey, or wanted to pick it up and move it closer to its destination? Not only in Korea, where the author comes from, but throughout our modern world, quick and efficient action is usually associated with diligence, intelligence and success, while a slow pace is associated with laziness and insufficient effort. Yet one of the universe’s basic truths is that the fast is contained in the slow, and the slow in the fast. Everything is interconnected, and neither can exist without the other. This philosophy encourages us to look differently at the world, other people and ourselves. The book brings comfort and calm. Its author, the Buddhist nun Jung-mok, teaches us how to slow down and free ourselves from the stress of modern life. Through stories from the natural world inspired by Buddhist philosophy, Jung-mok shares her gentle wisdom and offers simple exercises to help us live more happily. The book opens our eyes to the beauty around us and helps us find inner peace and calm. The contents are in Czech.
