Isn't it the mind that translates the outer condition into happiness and suffering?

Let us live simply in the freshness of the present moment, in the clarity of pure awakened mind.

Authentic happiness is not linked to an activity, it is a state of being.

Envy and jealousy stem from the fundamental inability to rejoice at someone else's happiness or success

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.

When hearing a door creak, the optimist thinks it's opening and the pessimist thinks it's closing.

Mind training is based on the idea that two opposite mental factors cannot happen at the same time. You could go from love to hate. But you cannot, at the same time - toward the same object, the same person - want to harm and want to do good.
