"Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself.From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come." "It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible."It is maybe not the best choice to have a favorite anything.".If you want to be happy, practice compassion." "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.How much am I doing about my anger? About my attachment, about my hatred, about my pride, my jealousy? These are the things which we must check in daily life." "The very purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticise others.the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives." "All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness.Our own brain, our own heart is our temple the philosophy is kindness." There is no need for temples no need for complicated philosophy. "I am a simple Buddhist monk - no more, no less."."In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.".
from Generous Wisdom: Commentaries by H.H. Likewise, there are certain states of mind that bring us peace and happiness, and we need to cultivate and enhance them. In other words, there are certain states of mind which bring us problems, and they can be removed we need to make an effort in that direction. Therefore, in our daily life a certain way of thinking makes us happy, and a certain way of thinking makes us unhappy. On the other hand, we find people who live like beggars but who always remain peaceful and happy. As we can see, there are many people who have wealth and power who remain unhappy, due to which their health declines, and they are always taking medicines. But we also need to seek inner development. It is justified for us to make material and financial development for building our nation and providing shelter, etc. Money and power facilitate, but it is clear that they are not the primary causes of, happiness and solving our problems. If that were so, it would follow that those who have wealth would necessarily have happiness, and those who do not have wealth would always experience suffering. We feel money and power can bring happiness and solve problems, but they are not definite causes of those desired states.
