The Purpose Of Life Is To Increase

Some People Get The Impression That Buddhism Talks Too Much About Suffering. In Order To Become Prosperous, A Person Must Initially Work Very Hard, So He Or She Has To Sacrifice A Lot Of Leisure Time. Similarly, The Buddhist Is Willing To Sacrifice Immediate Comfort So That He Or She Can Achieve Lasting Happiness.

It Is The State Of Mind Of The Person Wielding The Instrument That Determines To What End It Will Be Put.

If You Young People Who Today Belong To The First Generation Of The 21st Century Make An Effort Now, You May Be Able To Create A Happier, More Peaceful World. But You Can't Take For Granted That It Will Happen By Itself, You'll Need To Take Action.

If One's Life Is Simple, Contentment Has To Come. Simplicity Is Extremely Important For Happiness. Having Few Desires, Feeling Satisfied With What You Have, Is Very Vital: Satisfaction With Just Enough Food, Clothing, And Shelter To Protect Yourself From The Elements.

A Good Motivation Is What Is Needed: Compassion Without Dogmatism, Without Complicated Philosophy; Just Understanding That Others Are Human Brothers And Sisters And Respecting Their Human Rights And Dignities. That We Humans Can Help Each Other Is One Of Our Unique Human Capacities.
