a wisdom embodied.

Discourse on Happiness……….
http://plumvillage.org/practice/discourses/56-discourse-on-happiness.html
Happiness is
knowing there is Pureland,
knowing how to get there,
knowing I can return from there,
knowing I can encourage more to get there.

Happiness arises from the thinking mind
Unhappiness also springs from the same source
They are like the floating cloud that come and go
The floating cloud itself originally does not exist
Just as the vast Sky is always clear and blue
It does not hinder or hold the floating cloud
We should view Happiness and Unhappiness as an illusion
Let it come
Let it go
If we define True Happiness as Buddhahood, then it doesn’t arise from thinking mind, that comes and goes. This is in contrast with worldly happiness.
