according to me happiness comes from being content with your life , whatever you have achieved and whoever you are.........as lord buddha said 'desire ,ignorance n hatred are the root of all evils' ........i think if we control our desire,and remove ignorance and hatred from our lives we'll be happy......but its quite difficult to do that in this materialistic world
By purifying our minds and developing single pointed concentration, we learn how to let go of our delusions and thoughts, dissolving emotions, we learn how to let go of the past, and stopping our projections into the future we learn how to live in the present moment. We become more aware as consciousness rises above the brain and thoughts. With this practice of mindfulness plus compassion we become happy at being in the stillness of the present moment where there is never a problem, when thoughts arise we no longer grasp, we witness and they subside, when forms appear we no longer label, we observe and let go, feeling the union of all it’s like swimming in love. Mmmm I wish I was always there, I mean here in the present moment haha.
Iskander I love what u are saying and I feel strong . I let myself feeling and thinking everything that it is coming , I purify all-us by taking everything in , with no bad or good . Compassion Love come from within us and they are not present here , if they are not they will be somewhere in the future if u are Happy . Great inside question tsokyi
Thanks Robert, you're right we have a limitless source of love and wisdom within us all, this source can become stronger through the practice of mindfulness, by bringing back the mind to the present and living in the here and now, all of our problems slowly start to vanish like the clouds from the sky, the sunshine is always there :)
