His guiding philosophy in life, his way of practice of medicine and his parenting style with his two mischievous lovely kids are also largely influenced by Mindfulness. He sincerely hopes that more people can discover the beauty of Mindfulness and tend to the garden of their mind with more awareness, keeping their beautiful garden evergreen even when facing the harshest weather.
