The spinning wheel can be dizzying, but, in the center, there is stillness. Similarly, the formidable waves are only found on the surface of the ocean, not when one dives deep. Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise or disturbance but to find calmness within the heart despite outer circumstances. This episode unwraps some ancient contemplative texts, including passages from the Tao Te Ching, and reflects on the lives of a few peaceful figures.
