Smile for No Reason

Smiling and being happy has a magical healing effect; the muscles and mind relax, and this will reflect onto anyone with whom we come into contact.

Happy for no reason? Well, there is a reason: we are in neutral spaciousness. We acknowledge all the games being played and the engines being revved-up, and we remain unmoved in neutral, sustaining pure awareness – rigpa.

We no longer rely on conditions in order to be happy: there is merely acknowledgement of things and emotions coming and going.

Even if we don’t feel like it, smiling sees a smile coming right back.
