Happiness

If happiness is a way of being,

a State of consciousness and inner freedom,

nothing can keep us from reaching it.

 

~ Matthieu Ricard

What is happiness for you?

Stimuli and feelings?

Pleasurable sensations?

 

I'm reading the book the happiness of the Lama Buddhist Matthieu Ricard.

A book written in a simple, very fast that speaks to the heart.

Speaking of happiness. Saying so it seems even a little simplistic.

 

But both feeling more complex?

After all isn't that what everyone search?

 

True happiness is immutable.

Independent of external factors.

It is your true essence.

 

Yesterday I had an experience that made me think a lot.

Was feeling lighter, had just watch a movie delicious and inspiring.

Was accompanied by my goddaughter.

Pure happiness doesn't?

 

And suddenly, after a little incident that saw it on TV,

see myself reacting and entering into energy (bad) of a person.

Puff! Where's that feeling of joy and lightness that was me moments before?

Amazing how we are conditioned to react according to our likes and dislikes.

According to our perceptions of the outside world.

 

Into practice the teachings that study both is the real learning.

Happiness as the text above is a State of consciousness.

 

 

Let us go of encounter the our true happiness!

And we can be free!
