Learning the Art of Happiness
''Everyone wants to be happy and never wants to suffer. But why are people still suffering and unable to do away with their own sufferings themselves? sometimes, the more they try to get rid of them, the more they suffer. This is because they do not know the true cause of suffering and what is the true cause of happiness. If they knew, they would be successful. They would eliminate the cause of suffering and create the cause of happiness. One of the important obstacles to this success is one's own heart''. Geshe Damdul Namgyal reminded those who gathered to listen to him.
