Meditation Quote by Sakyong Mipham

“Meditation and running are essentially addressing these two kinds of pain. Of course, we cannot run all day and all night, and it is difficult to meditate all day and all night. However, when we include these two disciplines in our daily routine, we are making our body and mind more livable.” quote by Sakyong Mipham — Download Open image
