Excerpt
Wise people, after they have listened to the laws, become serene, like a deep, smooth, and still lake. Good people walk on whatever befall, the good do not prattle, longing for pleasure; whether touched by happiness or sorrow wise people never appear elated or depressed.

✨ To meditate on today

Today, whether good or bad news comes to you, take three breaths before reacting, and picture your mind as water that settles and becomes clear again.
