Genuine Happiness Is Self-Realisation
The calmness and clarity of self-realisation
brings about happiness, and a happy life.
We shouldn’t fall into the trap of feeling that we aren’t good enough for happiness. It is the realisation of ever-present pure consciousness that is our reality. Whether we feel that our life is falling apart, or we spend our time calculating how clever we are, or we are bombarded by distractions, ever-present pure consciousness is the place of genuine happiness.
Stand back from all the turmoil of misunderstandings, and see clearly.
Being happy makes others happy.
The converse is also true.
You know this already!
BUDDHA IN THE MUD. Practical everyday insight into Dzogchen Buddhism. It's not about feeling good about yourself; it's about feeling good about your self. Your self is your karma and teacher. 
We are talking about the heart.
” It is the realisation of ever-present pure consciousness that is our reality. ” A full-of-wonder sentence to be sure.
