“We know that we are happy when our mind is peaceful, and unhappy when it is not. It is therefore clear that our happiness depends upon our having a peaceful mind and not on good external conditions. Even if our external conditions are poor, if we maintain a peaceful mind all the time we shall always be happy.” IfsKnowsMindHappinessTimePoorClearConditionsDependsHappyUnhappyPeacefulPeace Of MindAlways Be HappyPeaceful Mind Book:Modern Buddhism: The Path of Compassion and Wisdom - Volume 1 Sutra Source: Modern Buddhism: The Path of Compassion and Wisdom - Volume 1 Sutra

“Whether we love humanity or not, we must realize that we are part of it. My future depends entirely on the future of humanity, and so I am compelled to take care of humanity. That is why being compassionate is actually in my own best interest. And a symptom of my own peace of mind is that I can share comfort with others around me.” MindI CanCareHumanityInterestRealizingMy OwnShareDependsComfortTake CarePeace Of MindCompassionateSymptomsCompelledMy FutureFuture Of Humanity Author:Dalai Lama
