If you are mindful of death, it will not come as a surprise-you will not be anxious. You will feel that death is merely like changing clothes. Consequently, at that point you will be able to maintain your calmness of mind.

If you wish to experience peace, provide peace for another. If you wish to know that you are safe, cause another to know that they are safe. If you wish to better understand seemingly incomprehensible things, help another to better understand. If you wish to heal your own sadness or anger, seek to heal the sadness or anger of another.

Nothing is permanent.

Action for Happiness encourages each of us to live more compassionately and put the happiness of others at the centre of our lives. This is the path to lasting peace and happiness

Sometimes, whether a desire is excessive or negative depends on the circumstances or society in which you live in.

A mind wishing to benefit other people and other sentient beings is the very basis of peace and happiness.

It is worth remembering that the time of greatest gain in terms of wisdom and inner strength is often that of greatest difficulty.
