Happiness is Freedom



"According to the Buddha's teachings, the most basic condition for happiness is freedom. Here we do not mean political freedom, but freedom from the mental formations of anger, despair, jealousy and delusion."
~ Thich Naht Hanh

Meditate.
Live purely.
Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon,
come out from behind the clouds!
Shine.

Your Thoughts Count


The thought manifests as the word. The word manifests as the deed. The deed develops into habit. And the habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care. And let it spring from love, born out of concern for all beings.
