Happiness is the main object of our aspirations, whatever name we give to it: fulfilment, deep satisfaction, serenity, accomplishment, wisdom, fortune, joy or inner peace, and however we try to seek it: creativity, justice, altruism, striving, completion of a plan or a piece of work.
Matthieu RicardYou can't be at the same time a spiritual master and someone who is always angry. It doesn't work.
Matthieu RicardHappiness is a state of inner fulfillment, not the gratification of inexhaustible desires for outward things.
