The explanation you give in the first part of your newsletter was fascinating and heavily underlines the idea that our own thoughts and our reactions to those thoughts are what distress us in certain situations.

And a particular thanks for the explanation of Tibetan culture/greeting in respect of this week's story on the Dalai Lama. I saw such swift and unkind condemnation on social media. I'll refer the naysayers to this newsletter.

Thank you, David, for the explanation of the Dalai Lama interaction with the young boy. The Tibetan cultural habit of sticking out the tongue is not known by most people in the Western world, and there should have been explanations in our main newspapers and news magazines along with the reporting of the incident!
