With a renewed mind,
every day becomes a new day and a new year.
When you are freed from the shackles of suffering,
that moment becomes a new day.
I wish you a new day every day.
Sincerely,
Pomnyun

The Difference Between Humility and Subservience
Humility is rooted in equality, while subservience is rooted in discrimination.
Thatโs why the Buddha once told his disciples:
โBe humble, not arrogant. Be confident, not subservient.โ
