The Buddhist Way https://www.spiritualityhealth.com/how-to-be-happier-the-buddhist-way Getting involved in the political debate is tempting, but it rarely leads to anything positive, and it usually increases our own agitation and that of others. We should not be disinterested in what happens in our surroundings, and when there is a need to protect the oppressed (even if it is only with words), we must do so. However, polarizing attacks and counterattacks do not lead to peace, welfare, or enlightenment. Contributing to peace with kind thoughts, words, and deeds is preferable. That is activism. - Tashi Nyima
When facing problems: do the right thing! Increase your wisdom, courage and determination. - Victor M. Parachin
After so many years studying and practicing the teachings of our Lamas, if we have nothing beneficial to say, it reflects poorly on their enlightened activity. - Tashi Nyima
This is where mindfulness comes in. In meditation, we develop the capacity to be aware of an impulse without acting on it. - Oren Jay Sofer
It is by gaining a proper understanding of death that we really know how to live and how to contribute meaningfully to society and civilization. - Daisaku Ikeda
Living a simple life and finding satisfaction there can lead individuals to contentment, making them happier without constantly craving more. - Pomnyun Sunim
When I’m moving, shopping, everything, I’m always doing it with mindfulness. I know these are things I have to do, but they aren’t problems. On the other hand, I don’t spend time gossiping or visiting or doing anything, which I don’t consider necessary in my life. - Dipa Ma
Buddhist practice can be considered subtractive rather than additive. - Francis Sanzaro
In desire, anticipation is everything. There is no lasting pleasure in possession. -Tashi Nyima
