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 and bestselling author from Korea, teaches us to slow down and free ourselves from the stress of our busy 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 poetic and soothing collection of thoughts and short stories are imbued with wisdom and comfort. The Snail is Slow But Never Late invites us to open our eyes to the world around us, appreciate the beauty of the present moment and find peace from within by living at your own pace.
