The mind is the source of happiness and unhappiness by what it chooses to compare the experience with. If it chooses to compare it to something worse then it will create happiness, gratitude and pride but if it chooses to compare it to something better then it will create unhappiness, bitterness and envy.

If a man who enjoys a lesser happiness beholds a greater one, let him leave aside the lesser to gain the greater.

Imagine that every person in the world is enlightened but you. They are all your teachers, each doing just the right things to help you learn perfect patience, perfect wisdom, perfect compassion.

Those which arise dependently are free of inherent existence.

Live happily, not hating even those who are hostile. Live peacefully even amongst those that hate.

This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.

Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.
