Causes Of Happiness
खुशी के कारण-दलाई लामा द्वारा (१२ जून, २०१९)
जीवन का उद्देश्य खुशी के लिए प्रयास करना है।
प्रत्येक चेतन जीव को जीवित रहने का अधिकार है; इसका अर्थ है कि खुशी या आराम की इच्छा रखना: यही कारण है कि चेतन प्राणी जीवित रहने का प्रयास करते हैं। इसलिए, हमारा अस्तित्व आशा पर आधारित है - कुछ अच्छा होने की उम्मीद: खुशी। उसके कारण, मैं हमेशा यह निष्कर्ष निकालता हूं कि जीवन का उद्देश्य खुशी है। आशा और एक सुखद एहसास के साथ, हमारा शरीर अच्छा महसूस करता है। स्वास्थ्य मन की खुशहाल स्थिति पर निर्भर करता है।
खुशी क्या है? कभी-कभी शारीरिक कष्ट भी एक संतुष्टि की गहरी भावना ला सकता है जैसे कि एक भीषण कसरत के बाद एक एथलीट के साथ होता है । तो "खुशी" का अर्थ मुख्य रूप से गहरी संतुष्टि की भावना है। तो जीवन का लक्ष्य या हमारा लक्ष्य, संतुष्टि है।
अब, खुशी के कारण क्या हैं? एक शांत मन बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है। इससे कोई फर्क नहीं पड़ता कि हमारी भौतिक स्थिति क्या है;; मानसिक शांति सबसे महत्वपूर्ण है। तो, हम शांत मन कैसे बना सकते हैं?
अब, सभी समस्याओं से छुटकारा पा लेना,, यह असम्भव होगा; और मन को क्षीण बनाना और अपनी समस्याओं के बारे में भूल जाना, इससे भी काम नहीं चलता। हमें अपनी समस्याओं को स्पष्ट रूप से देखना होगा और उनसे निपटना होगा, लेकिन साथ ही साथ एक शांत मन भी रखना होगा ताकि हमारे पास यथार्थवादी दृष्टिकोण हो और हम उन्हें ठीक से समझ पाएँ, उनके साथ ठीक से निबट पाएँ।
जितना हमारा दिमाग ज्यादा दयालु होगा, उतना ही हमारा दिमाग बेहतर काम करेगा। यदि हमारे मन में भय और क्रोध विकसित होता है, तो हमारा मस्तिष्क और खराब तरीक़े से काम करता है। बौद्ध धर्म यही कहता है। जब नकारात्मक भावना विकसित होती है, तो हम वास्तविकता देख नहीं सकते।
करुणा और स्नेह मस्तिष्क को अधिक सुचारू रूप से कार्य करने में मदद करते हैं। यह हमें आंतरिक शक्ति और आत्मविश्वास देता है और इससे भय कम होता है, जो बदले में, हमारे मन को शांत रखता है। इसलिए, करुणा के दो कार्य हैं: यह हमारे मस्तिष्क से बेहतर कार्य कराता है और यह आंतरिक शक्ति लाता है। तो यही खुशी के कारण हैं।
विचार के लिए मूल प्रश्न: आप खुशी के दो कारणों से क्या समझते हैं ? क्या आप कोई व्यक्तिगत अनुभव बाँट सकते हैं जब आपने मन की अनुकंपा के कारण स्पष्टता का अनुभव किया हो? आपको करुणा का अभ्यास करने में किस चीज़ से मदद मिलती है?

Wow, so beautifully said by THE DALAI LAMA, I have almost nothing left to say. Could not agree more, and is irrefutable!! I will be a fool! However, I will make an attempt to expand on it. Just like the number system runs infinitely into opposite directions of positives and negatives, so is the possibilities of a persons thoughts, actions, and, thus, choices. It is the individual mind and person. Everybody's Karmic bank account with the Creator is not a joint account, but an individual one, it is up to a person how much one deposits or withdraws from it. Everybody's Karma is independent, personal, and very individual. The more one deposits, the bigger positive balance on the account, the more happy one is. These things work by forces of nature. I think that is what DALAI has put down, that is, love and compassion are just among the extreme positives on the number line, or so to speak.

I must humbly disagree with the Dalai Lama. We don't have to "strive" for happiness - we have
to simply discover it as our true nature.
Identification with your “I” or “me” thought is all that’s in the way of your experiencing inner peace, happiness, and unconditional love—essentially 24/7. You must see that you are not this “me” character that you’ve “believed” yourself to be. Indeed, you are not any “story.”
Why not? Because your “story,” along with the “I” or “me” thought, the “story-teller,” as well as the feelings and emotions generated in your body, comes and goes. However “you”—as clear, relaxed awareness or presence—are always here.
When you have an emotional reaction, you learn to love your triggers because they show you where you’re not yet free. You realize you got caught in an old “story&rdq... [View Full Comment]

I think the Dalai Lama is saying that the two causes of happiness are the brain functioning well and inner strength, and it's compassion that helps it function well and brings inner strength. So, compassion is very important. Compassion means to me to feel sympathy, that is, to be very much with the other in their suffering of their pain. For example, a man was sharing with me the grief he was suffering regarding the death of his wife. My sympathy or feeling with him helped me to see with clarity that his grief was very painful, heavy and difficult for him to suffer. I think my sympathy helped him in his suffering his grief. What helps me practice compassion is identifying with the other and what he or she is suffering, knowing that we are one, knowing that his or her pain is also my pain, and knowing that we are suffering for one another.

I like the simple and clear way Dalai Lama talks about the profound idea of happiness. Happiness is a deep sense of satisfaction or contentment. And that is the purpose of life.What makes us happy? Calmness of mind and compassion and affection in heart.When my mind is free from fear, anger and feverishness, I feel calmness and peace in my mind. I do not feel the pull of craving and grasping causing dissatisfaction. When my mind is calm and clear, I feel the presence of empathy and compassion residing in my heart.
Yesterday I had a call from my friend. Her voice indicated irritability and frustration she was experiencing for quite some time.I listened to her with empathy and compassion. There were moments when her state of mind was creating impatience and irritability in my mind. Since I have been practicing and applying mindfulness for working on myself, it was relatively easy for me to get back to my compassionate frame of mind.
