In terms of mindfulness, there is, let's see, in Shantideva, who was the person who did the teaching that my books are based on, there's one verse that I really love that he says, where would I find enough leather to cover the entire surface of the earth? Yet with leather soles beneath my feet, as if the whole world has been covered.

And if that makes sense, it's like this is back in the day when people were traveling on rugged paths and there were thorns and things to get your feet.

And that's the same way with cultivating mindfulness. We're not going to be able to change the entire world around us, really, as much to the degree that we wish we could. But if we can control our own mindfulness, if we can really cultivate that, we can have a much more peaceful presence that we bring to the world, as well as the way we experience the world.

I knew that's what you meant, but I just wanted to say that. Yeah, it seems like that. an unkind trick to do, but they really couldn't tell him to leave.
