A million smiles presents The Dalai Lama in Buddhism and Happiness_smile # 10-13 of 1,000,000_
We all have the potential.
Dear brothers and sisters, indeed I am very happy.
I usually describe happiness in the sense of more satisfaction, happiness is not necessarily some pleasure experience, but neutral sort of experience, that can bring deep satisfaction.
I believe…peace of mind. That peace of mind also comes firstly from warm-heartedness, that I think reduce ill feeling towards others and also reduce distrust, I always open. I never consider myself as something special. If I consider myself as something different from you, like I am Buddhist, or even more, I am His Holiness The Dalai Lama or even if I consider I am Nobel Laureate then actually you create yourself as a prisoner. I forget these things, I simply consider I am one of the seven billion human beings. We are mentally, emotionally, intellectually we are same.
When in aeroplane, sometimes this gas problem comes, then you see, it is difficult to let out, so occasionally you see, look around, then you go like that.
The ultimate source of satisfaction [is] within ourself. If you do wrong things, mainly harming other, you get negative consequences. If you do helping other, bring more happiness to other, you get benefit. More inner strength there, and more sort of confidence of purpose of life, and fulfillment about that purpose, then you always feel happy. When we are young, very much alive these inner value, and we’re growing up, particularly in this society where [there is] not much talking about these values. Only talks when we read the newspaper or television sports or money, number of dollar…like that. And all the advertising, material values. No one telling, no one sort of explaining the importance of warm-heartedness. Early part of the twentieth century, later part of the twentieth century, much positive change took place. I think world, yes there is a lot of crisis, a lot of bad things, but also there is a lot of good things.
So, we are social animal, therefore friendship is very essential. [With] friendship comes trust, fear and trust go contradiction. More fear there, cannot develop trust. With fear, how can we develop friendship?
In a big city, a lot of people, but just think of one’s self, self centred attitude, and no idea of sense of love, and then, too much competitive sense, then jealousy, jealousy brings distrust, distrust brings frustration, so therefore and fear, then the lonely feeling automatically come. So, lonely feeling is not creation of environment, but creation of your own mental attitude. I think eventually we can develop a more deeper experience about our life. Make some kind of pledge, from now on I must make a new person, same body, but new person.
