What Really Is Happiness?
Happiness is knowing.
Unhappiness is not knowing, which causes suffering.
Knowing what?
Not knowing what; just knowing.
Just knowing is cognisant emptiness. The moment of being awareness, before we are aware.
It’s our natural state. That is being happy.
We have the good fortune of having a human body, a clear mind, and the right attitude to achieve enlightenment. This particular kind of good fortune is seen not as a random roll of the dice, but as the result of positive past actions and right intentions.
We’ve inherited and recognised a finely tuned instrument – our current life – and we have the freedom to choose what to do with it.
Recognising this good fortune is due to positive intention (even though others may think we are inept and stupid. 🙂 )
