Cultivate Your Mindfulness.

Thich Tinh Tu has taught that the only thing we definitely have
control over is our own reaction to what is happening. That, in turn,
changes the dynamics of the situation and can often alter the outcome,
We can change our minds through the practice and discipline of
meditation.

Meditation is a way of "de-programming" yourself of negative
influences and replacing them with more positive, productive states of
mind.

"People who hold onto their old habits can't accept anything new," Tu

"All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes
and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in
relation to everything else." - Buddha
