 What Giving Is
Generosity takes many forms–we may give our time, our energy, our material possessions, our love. All are expressions of caring, of compassion, of connection, and of renunciation–the ability to let go. The beauty of generosity is that it not only brings us happiness in the moment–we feel good when we give–but it is also the cause for happiness to arise in the future. – Joseph Goldstein, “The Evolution of Happiness “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Planting the Seeds of Happiness
We spend decades of our lives wanting happiness, peace, and contentment–without sowing the causes for that aspiration. Why did we not plant the seeds of the fruition we aspire to? Buddhist logic says that if you plant a lemon seed and pray for a mango fruit, logically it won’t work. But this is what we do: we wish for happiness without planting the seeds of happiness. – Khandro Rinpoche, “Planting the Seeds of Happiness” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

First we have to let go of fixation on material things. This does not necessarily mean jettisoning all our material possessions, but it implies that we should not look to material things for lasting happiness. – Traleg Kyabgon Rinpoche, “Letting Go of Spiritual Experience “ Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |

 Unconditional Love
The Metta Sutta tells us to spread love over the entire world to everyone, no matter what we think or feel about them. This is unconditional love, love that doesn’t expect or need a return, love that sees past the petty differences and disputes in life to the universal longings for happiness that we all share. – Kevin Griffin, “May All Beings Be Happy” Click here to learn how you can receive a 30 minute Mindfulness Break in your home. |
