About

I built this
for myself
first.

01

These days, anxiety and uncertainty seem to be everywhere.

Every morning I woke up feeling anxious.
What might happen today?
How should I be living my life?

My eyes kept drifting to others instead of myself.
I felt my mind slowly fraying at the edges.

02

Then one day,
I came across a line from a Buddhist scripture
and felt a quiet calm settle over me.

"The lotus rises from the mud
yet is not stained by it."

— Dhammapada

So I started building.
At first, just for me.

03

Then I looked around and realized
there were so many people feeling the same way.

I hoped that others around me —
and anyone who found their way here —
might find even a small sense of peace.

And so
LotusRead was born.

Just for a moment today,
let your mind rest.
