7/365 - The Right to Happiness


"I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness.
That is clear.

Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life.  So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness...

[...] I believe that happiness can be achieved through training the mind.

[...] When we speak of this inner discipline, it can of course involve many things, many methods.  But generally speaking, one begins by identifying those factors which lead to happiness and those factors which lead to suffering.  Having done this, one then sets about gradually eliminating those factors which lead to suffering and cultivating those which lead to happiness.  That is the way."  - The Dalai Lama (The Art of Happiness)
