Quotations
Happiness
Happy is the unity of the Sangha. Happy is the discipline of the united ones.
-Dhammapada " Dhammapada 194"
No one should ever ask themselves that: why am I unhappy? The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question, it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.
-Paulo Coelho
