And should I try to keep him away when I do the ceremony or is it okay when he is being around me but being naughty a little bit? But he does bow to the Buddha as well sometimes. monkey see monkey do. That sounds good, doesn't it? that when you're bowing and he occasionally would imitate you. Okay. Without being asked. That's nice, isn't it? that's what I'm hearing. When the parents do something good, something right themselves, they are a good influence on their children, it's so fundamental to education, to raising children. You should do the right things yourself and your kids will pick it up. you can serve as great role models for your children is priceless because it's you who have the greatest who exert the greatest influence on your loved ones. So don't try to change them. Change yourself and they will pick up on your changes. They liked you better and therefore they want to emulate you. Never mind about your your your kid running all over you and distracting you. It's good for you to learn to bow without being distracted. How's that? And then as far your kid is concerned, you just let let him be. Part of cultivation is to embrace. As you get stronger, you have more samadei power, more concentration power and you develop more wisdom. the one goal standard is that you are able to be more all embracing nothing bothers you. You don't get afflicted and that's strength. Keep on bowing and in particular when you bow don't get afflicted because of the distraction. Embrace it. That's all we learn in order to become more and more all embracing. Okay? It takes a lot of strength and wisdom to do that. [bell] A to a to
