Story of the rich businessman who doesn't have enough time to spend with his family. All the little boy wanted was his father to be truly present. Also told the story of the German businessman who thought he was indispensable to his business.
The first mantra is, "Darling, I am here for you." We can learn this mantra by using pepple meditation. Thay wants you to learn both. Then, we have the second mantra. "Darling, I know you are there and it makes me happy."
Product of our action. Our karma. It I out environment. Retribution. We have been living in such a way that we've destroyed our environment. We are our environment. Thought, speech, and action are energies that cannot be destroyed. We are talking about the noble eightfold path.
