The first is by your own true nature and another by your environment, the people whom you are with, you know.

Our innermost nature is dharma and sangha is our association, our environment.So events and attitude are influenced by only two things. 

       The first is by your own true nature and another by your environment, the people whom you are with, you know.

        In a group if someone says, ‘Come lets go and have a drink,’ we will say, ‘Ok, lets all go.’ We will go.In a group if someone starts talking negatively, slowly another person will join a little later, then the third and the fourth. Soon you’ll find that everybody starts talking negatively – this is the influence of the group.
