(An Excerpt)
WHERE DOES HAPPINESS COME FROM?
Master Jun Hong Lu: The Bodhisattva says: “When you help others, you will be very happy.” Well, when you do just that, you continue to feel the happiness. Then, when others are grateful and hold respect towards you for helping them, won’t you be even happier?
And where does this happiness come from? It is from your innate nature. It is not something that goes away after one or two days. Those who have helped others will be remembered for a long time.
Conversely, if the only thing you care about is how to help yourself, the happiness that you gain tends to disappear very quickly.
