Are many happinesses [ II ] (4)
"Without understanding how your inner nature evolves, how can you possibly discover eternal happiness? Where is eternal happiness? It's not in the sky or in the jungle; you won't find it in the air or under the ground. Everlasting happiness is within you, within your psyche, your consciousness, your mind. That's why it's important that you investigate the nature of your own mind."
Lama Thubten Yeshe
"There is a Vietnamese proverb, "Tri tuc, tien tuc, dai tuc, ha thoi tuc." That means, settling for "good enough" is enough. If we wait until all our needs and wants are met, we may wait forever. "Tri tuc" means "good enough." "Good enough" means being content with the minimum amount necessary. Your shirt and pair of shoes can last another year. It's all right for three or four people to share a desk for studying, there's no need for each to have her own desk. Settling for "good enough" in terms of simple living will bring us contentment, satisfaction, and happiness immediately. As long as we think our lives are not good enough , we will not have happiness. As soon as we realize our lives are good enough, happiness immediately appears. That is the practice of contentment.
In Vietnam there's a school of Buddhism called the Four Gratitudes. Just by practicing gratitude, we can find happiness. We must be grateful to our ancestors, our parents, our teachers, our friends, the Earth, the sky, the trees, the grass, the animals, the soil, the stones. Looking at the sunlight or at the forest, we feel gratitude. Looking at our breakfast, we feel grattitude. When we live in the spirit of gratitude, there will be much happiness in our life. The one who is grateful is the one who has much happiness while the one who is ungrateful will not be able to have happiness."

"So talkative, your eyes, when they look at me, childish, - two drops of amber, stirring the fire of the noon roan! If I looked at them insatiably, to fall asleep, and I still would not get tired of being mirrored in their depths, as to recognize what you are - a true Woman, a bearer of gifts, - to whose heart longing to recognize it, at the borders, where realms intertwine - and, I watch, guarding, knowingly, over the order that would have been given to us! And if God brought me into your life, blessing you, - and you, into my life, being, brought me into the same blessing, sharing with me, I think that from here, the joints of happiness that we must appropriate it, looking everywhere, being at every step! .. In the depths of your heart, if I find a home, - oh, I will at least leave you the memory that will not be alienated, - for either our life, it also leads there, on the same paths, or separately. But from the interweaving of these paths, God, our Master, our Friend, will crown us, - and what happiness can be greater than this? There are many happinesses, my dear, on this earth, but as many as there are, so few, they are recognized! .. Could it be that you have recognized in me, one of them ?! I can recognize in you, any of them."
