- Kukai
You can measure the depth of a person’s awakening by how they serve others.
- Kukai We each carry kammic dispositions communicated to us from past lives: our responses to sensual stimulation, to irritation or insult, to fear; how we order
our lives or array the things in our room, how we like to spend our time, what we value. Where else would these dispositions come from? - Bhikkhu Cintita When we aspire to become vital to the world and well-used by the world, rather than trying to lead the good life and succeeding for only our own benefit, we will be happy and be helpful to the world at the same time. Then happiness will be a reality rather than a dream. This is also the way for us to exercise our right to be happy.
- Pomnyun Sunim Anybody who is born into this world has a right to be happy. Our happiness will be whole only when the individual’s mental attitude (the seed) and social conditions (the field) are cultivated together. - Pomnyun Sunim
It is vulgar to want things in complete sets. It is incompleteness that is desirable. - Bishop Francois de Laval
As you consciously move through your life, become aware of joyful moments. Once you begin to see them and express gratitude for them, this type of experience will naturally increase for you because you are functioning in a higher frequency.
- Kris Ladusau A large part of the reason we are unhappy lies in our inability to let go. - Pomnyun Sunim
To the person tempted by despair, I say: Remind yourself that the world is what we make it, and that to the making of it each one of us can contribute something. This thought makes hope possible: and in this hope, though life will still be painful, it will be no longer purposeless. - Bertrand Russell
