Frank had a great night of rest. He ate breakfast, got ready, and left his house to go to his big game. He is very excited, on the way, he keeps thinking about how he will win and get first place.



"I am so excited!"



"Nice to meet you
my name is Frank."

"Whatever.
Let's start."
Frank met who he will be playing against, Adonis, but Adonis doesn't seem to be in a very good mood today. Adonis was being rude and not showing kindness. This made Frank very mad, because Frank did not do anything to make Adonis angry.
Frank was very bothered by the way Adonis is acting, so much so that it was affecting his playing. He was only two points away from losing the whole match.



"You suck! I am going to win!!"

No! I am about
to lose to him!



"I am so sad.
What can I do?"





"Try mindfulness."
Frank has lost, he was very sad. He went home and started crying on the phone to his mother. Frank's mother told Frank about Buddhism's mindfulness. Mindfulness is the power of our mind being aware of what is happening, without judgement or interference (Lion's Roar Staff). Mother told Frank that before a match, or whenever he feels anxious, he should try mindfulness to become more calm and focused.



"Love your enemies
and forgive."

"You're right."
The next day, Frank met up with his coach for practice. He told his coach that he is very mad at Adonis, so then his coach told him about the teachings of Christianity. God said to love and pray for those who have harmed them, and to forgive others, as they have been forgiven by God (Elements). Coach John said that we need to forgive others in order to move on in life.
Frank went to play tennis with his friend, Ryan, and asked him how can he become better. Ryan told him about Hinduism's karma yoga. Karma yoga is the path of dedicated work (“THE FOUR YOGAS”). It is taking the right actions without being worried about the results (Rachael). Ryan told Frank that he should work hard and not focus so much about the results if he really loves tennis.



"Karma yoga!"
Taking his mother's advice, Frank has started to practice mindfulness whenever he feels nervous or needs to focus. This has greatly improved his happiness, and he is more calm.

Frank thought about what Coach John said, that we need to forgive other people like how we would want to be forgiven. He thought to himself that Adonis was just having a bad day and he should forgive him and wish him well.


"Hmm, I should stop being mad at Adonis."
