THE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN LIFE

Zayn teaches mẹ Na about patience

The people you meet in life are all here to teach you something.  Perhaps the obnoxious driver or disrespectful teenager is here to teach you about patience, and the punk rocker might be here to teach you to be less judgmental.

NOW IS THE ONLY TIME

Bố Sỹ luôn luôn biết "Now is the only time we have"

Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal for some later date.  It isn't.  In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow.  Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over.

RELAXED AND HAPPY AT HOME

If your goal is to become more relaxed and happy at home, one of the most helpful things you can do is to create an activity that is yours exclusively, something you do - a special part of the day that is reserved just for you.

APPROACH WITHOUT EXPECTATIONS

Today @ Deer Park Monastery, 

we are delighted and have no hurdle to overcome. 

Try to approach today without expectations.  Don't expect people to be friendly.  When they're not, you won't be surprised or bothered.  If they are, you'll be delighted.  Don't expect your day to be problem-free.  As problems come up, say to yourself, "Ah, another hurdle to overcome."  As your approach your day in this manner, you'll notice how graceful life can be.

LET GO!

Ông Sỹ luôn luôn let go.

When you "don't sweat the small stuff," your life won't be perfect, but you will learn to accept what life has to offer with far less resistance.  As we learn in the Zen philosophy, when you learn to "let go" of problems instead of resisting with all your might, your life will begin to flow.

THREE SISTERS

These 3 sisters are not "Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda" but là 3 đậu hủ :) 

Beware of the "Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda" sisters.
This mentality exhibits a lack of acceptance and understanding of the choices we make for ourselves.

NO PERFECT PERSON

No perfect person on the planet, but ông Sỹ is an exception :) 

There is no perfect person on the planet.
Remember, we are all perfect in our imperfection, just the way we are.
