The credo, or guiding principle of Adaptation, is "Embrace the Change". This calls us to fully acknowledge and accept the reality of impermanence, non-attachment, non-seeking, and non-aversion. Instead of resisting change or clinging to stability, we learn to flow with the ever-changing currents of life. Embracing change does not mean we become passive or indifferent; rather, it allows us to respond to life's challenges with resilience, flexibility, and open-mindedness. This credo reminds us that change is not only inevitable but also a potential source of growth and wisdom if approached with mindfulness and acceptance. | |||

Our minds have a tendency to seek constantly — whether it's seeking pleasure, seeking to avoid pain, or seeking for some future outcome to make us happy. Non-seeking is about learning to be content in the present moment, understanding that happiness doesn't solely depend on external conditions or future events. It's about being at peace with what is, right here, right now. | Our minds have a tendency to seek constantly — whether it's seeking pleasure, seeking to avoid pain, or seeking for some future outcome to make us happy.

In mindfulness, non-aversion is about not pushing away or avoiding the aspects of life or ourselves that we find uncomfortable or unpleasant. Rather, it's about recognizing these experiences and feelings, observing them without judgment, and allowing them to be present without letting them control our actions or state of mind. This practice helps us confront and better understand our fears and discomforts, ultimately enabling us to respond with more compassion and clarity, instead of reacting impulsively. | |||
